They are purple :) [SEP] These take some getting used to.  The gel bars tend to wobble a bit and therefore make the razor unstable.  Because of that, the first few times that I used these, I ended up cutting my legs.<br /><br />They shave fine.  I have sensitive skin and did not have any problem with a rash or razor burn.  It is because they do not give a close shave.  I am alright with that, though because I would rather have a less closer shave than a rash or razor burn any day.<br /><br />When the package is first opened, they stink.  Fortunately, the intensity of the smell lessens over time.
