I also have some feather blades which come 5 in a yellow pack. I swear the black packaging makes them shave better though...

Wow!

Do you have a pic of the yellow 5 pack?

I'm "working" at the moment, but when I get home I'll take a picture [emoji6]

"Mata pisau" is Indonesian for "blade". They are from Indonesia. It is possible the "Sword" trademark is licensed to Gillette / P&G in that country, just as there is some crossover of Gillette / Wilkinson Sword in India. If I happened on such blades, I would be mildly curious to try them. I do not find much difference among blades so I would expect a typical shave, with or without exotic branding or packaging.

Indonesian market, judging by the text on the package.

I just confirmed with my Indonesian wife that "5 Mata Pisau" is indeed in the Indonesian language. It means five keen (in the sense of sharp) blades. So these blades are for that market.

BAM! Like Emeril.
Nothing special about these compared to any other feathers.

Thanks!

As they say in Indonesia, "sama sama" (you're welcome). :thumbup1:

Many thanks for the pic. :thumbup1:

Now that you guys had me doubting my "they're the same" assumption, I emailed Feather. They replied promptly. I started a new thread: The Yellow-Feather/Black-Feather Controversy SOLVED.

I am curious why the spelling: "A GILLETTE PRODDUCT" ?

is that an edge defect in that photo?

Well spotted! :thumbup1:

But I couldn't say if it's a defect or just the photo, which I "borrowed" from somewhere in cyberspace. :sneaky2:

To coin a phrase - Don't knock 'em 'til you've tried 'em - Who knows, you might like them.

I personally have never enjoyed any shave I've had when I tried using the Indian made Gillette Wilkinson Sword Blades - but you're not me.

YMMV

My experience as well. Probably one of the worst blades I have ever tried actually.
