Feather, measure of all blades

Hi, everybody. I'm a newbie in wet shaving.
Tell me please, what is the difference between Feather Double Edge Razor Blades and Feather Red/Black Double Edge Razor Blades? Packing? Maybe something else?
 
Feathers attract so much comment. I have been using them on and off for six months. I wanted to post to say, for anyone who is not familiar with them, that the hype is deserved. Whether you like them or not, these blades are much sharper than anything else I have tried. My own view on whether that is good or bad is that they require more care. For me, the problem is too much of a good thing: it's too easy to make one pass too many, and to feel a bit of burn later in the day. I suspect they're taking off a bit more of the top layer of skin -- painlessly, because they are that fine, but nonetheless removing more than you'd be accustomed to.
