The SP are cheaper, so that might be part of it.
That's weird. I've mostly seen the SP's more expensive than the SS ones.

I just get a more comfortable post shave feel with the SS. I think it's the coating on the SP?

Considering that you can purchase both the SP and SS blades for under $10 per 100 pack, I hardly think pricing is the driving factor.
Lol, true, but it seems to me that they were more expensive a few years back.

But I'm old. The cold winds of memory loss are blowing through the tunnels of my brain...

Well the Swamp Yankee in me likes to pinch a penny. I've had to force myself to spend money on more expensive blades at times because of my thrifty habits. When I realized 100 blades can last me 500-1000 shaves in some cases the cost really shouldn't be the deciding factor.

I like the SS more than the SP so I'll be buying them from now on if I need more Astras.

I'm half Scotch and half Soda, er, Irish, so I will NEVER waste money. @mrdoug has me set for life with the Astra SS. Just got a fantastic shave from one!
 
Picked up a few Astra SS as part of a pick a blade pack, loved them, so much more than the Astra Plats!
Nice and sharp for me and lots of shaves per blade. No issues ordering more!
