Bluebird Hi Stainless, Chromium-Ceramic-Platinum-Tungsten-Polymer Coated Edges, Made in Europe apparently. I took a little time out from my SE pursuits to trial a Bluebird that came as a bonus when I got my Lord from the US. 3 shaves using my tried and true prep and Proraso, I did 1 shave with the Lord L6 and 2 with my benchmark SS . I don`t believe that they are anywhere near as sharp as Feathers but they are smooth and did seem to hold that smoothness for 3 shaves. The sharpness didn`t seem to have deteriorated at the same rate as Feathers, in fact I would be confident to attempt a 4th shave with this blade. Smooth from 1st shave but then I palm strop so smoothness is not an issue to me , hell I think that the 1st shave with a new Gem is smooth so what would I know. Overall not close to Feathers in sharpness, but easily as smooth, if things got desperate I could use Bluebirds. Anyone keen to try one pm me, I`ve got 3 left.

How on earth do you coat a blade with chromium, ceramic, platinum and tungsten? All at the same time! Why would you.

You will find that the coating list is suspiciously similar to Derby's. And we know what they shave like.
A number of shavers on other sites like them and find them better than the Derby. I haven't had a chance to try them.
