2) Maybe my beard is tougher than I thought. I always considered my beard to be pretty average, but then I recalled two things – that I tend to go through blades (either high-tech multi-blade jobs or more recently DEs) relatively quickly, and my hair has always been both very thick and grown in quickly between cuts. I know that I get 5 o’clock shadow around noon many days… So, maybe given that, the Feather is just better equipped to shave my particular beard (as others in here have suggested).
3) And finally, I’m wondering if maybe I need to use a different lathering/prep technique.
that Feather AC... what a great starter! ;)
