A timely prompt. I've had an unopened pack of these sitting around for about 10 months. As I'm due a blade change tomorrow, it's time to give them a go..
Tried the pink/blue ones & loved em,
Personally I love the Swedish SS. They perform pretty well in any razor...
YMMV indeed, as you say, since both the green and blue Astras do nothing for me; I find them harsh and uncomfortable. Rapiras on the other hand, especially the Platinum Lux, are great blades for me.... just to state that for what amounts to a few pennies more one can buy either of the entry level Gillette blades, the Astra SP or Sputnik, which are far better blades IMO.
