Much faster, easier shave, and no honing required is a definate bonus. Even getting the harder places (like under the nose and on the chin) was a breeze with such a sharp blade. The feather cut so well I couldn't even feel it cutting, it would just glide across my face.
So I think I will be replacing my regular straight with the feather from now on. I just can't get past the difference in how easily it cuts the hair lol.
