I used a pack that I received in a trade. Other than the packaging I see no differences between them and the green ones. I dislike both. YMMV applies here.
I'm curious to see how this discussion shakes out. I like Derbys! Unless I hear something new, I'm on the side of the fence that thinks only the packaging changed, not the product. I've sorta got used to green and at about 4 shaves a blade it'll be a while before I need more!
You are correct, it is a package thing only. How many shaves would one expect from a blade anyhow, atnd at these prices who could complain about only four.
I have had really good quality shaves with the Orange Derby in just everything I have tested with (Slim Adjustable, Feather Portable, Fat handle Tech).
I had pretty horrific results with the Orange Derby in my Muhle R89, but after further testing determined that was me being out of practice with the razor, and not the fault of the blade; as for awhile every blade I tried in the Muhle would rip me up.
I will make sure to test them in my Artistrocrat, and Murkur 38C when they show up in the mail next week.
