One thing you have to realize with the Feather Razor is that the blade are VERY sharp. And that you might find that there is a LOT of razor burn after you use it....the reason beeing you are adding too much pressure when you shave and are removing a few layers of skin (aka, the burn). When I first tried one of these I was a little disappointed with the 'burn' but then held off on using it like a saftey razor, etc. Use minimal weight (just enough to bring down the razor), and you should have a baby smooth shave with little to no burn!.
The same applies to a 'regular' straight razor when you have a sharp edge....
Good Luck!
