Tried the feather blades for the first time. Probably the best shave I have ever had. No cuts , no nicks, no runs and no errors. The sharpness of these blades is for sure, not open to debate. One thing: The blades were independently wrapped , which is a pain in the arse. Almost cut myself just trying to get that damn sticky paper off!:s
Yep, hate that sticky paper. Great blades though!
Oh I love em! Tried a sampler pack once full of like 10 different brands. They were the winner and all I use now.
I probably will try others, just for the heck of it, but these really work well. These things are probably the sharpest thing I have ever handled. You can actually feel how sharp they are as you pull the razor across your face. They just WANT to slice. If only I could get my hunting knives this sharp..lol
nothing floats like a feather !! love the way they feel !! I need to get me some more of them !!
I agree that the stickiness of the paper is irritating, but, I have 8 or 10 brand of blades and they all are wrapped in paper, many sticky....which ones aren't wrapped?
I think nowadays all DE blades are wrapped. AFAIK. In bygone days, when Gillette had the blade dispensers, they weren't wrapped, were very convenient, and a lot safer.
The Feather is a great blade. Many guys like them even better the second and third shave. They get a bit gentler as they are used.
my recollection on unwrapped blades and my opinion on Feather as well!Quote:

All the other blades I bought come in a sleeve of sorts.............much easier, and safer than unwrapping a sticky piece of paper from a unholy sharp blade...............
Yup, great blades, I have not tried any better... but the paper is a PIA
First go around I used too much pressure and looked like a strawberry for a day or two. Now that I am past the learning curve with them they are all I use in my safety razors.
Always loved the Feathers - I buy them in the 100 pack and use them exclusively in my DE!
It's not that bad, open the two long sides and lift the blade out by on end, astras come with a few spots of glue holding them down too.
