    I was under the impression that all modern DE blades had a PTFE coating, advertised or not.

    The new DeFitch is all better! That one should be fine, and you're right, the value is in the handle.

    the different color wrappers each have a following.
    I didn't see a difference in performance or longevity. they seemed the same to me.
    I've read that the white wrappers were akin to what people called med prep blades. whereas the blue have always been called labs.
    I may be wrong. if someone knows please correct me.
    I've used and liked both. but only have the blue In stock.

    I was surprised with two packages in the mail today. The Razorock Classic was sent by @Kamen Tenshi , and the two AutoStrop razors were a gift from @Jim99 . Thank you, gentlemen. Very generous.

    Yeah it looks fine. I've read complaints about the head actually having little barbs coming off of it. OUCH!! But mine doesn't have of that.

    Thanks for the info. How would you compare them to my personal favorite, the Feather blade? About the same, smoother etc?
