Don't get me wrong - my favorite straight is always something "conventional" (please don't ask to name a favorite) but if you travel or have limited space a razor and 40 weeks worth of blades (20 x 14 shaves each) take up the space of a toothbrush case and a pack of gum.
(Some (Ace) can get 40 shaves from a blade, some get 7, I'm running 14-18)

Contrast that with I was getting 7 days on the M3 and less than great results and for me it's advantage Feather (over M3)
But when you get the blade/holder/technique thing dialed in the shave can leave you in BBS - giddy territory.

In the end it is like many things - YMMV - with options...
If you've tried DE shaving there is a similar issue with razors, blades and perception...one persons dream combo is another shavers "camp saw"

It's good to have options...
Hey - that defintely changes my perception - for sure it would be a smaller footprint, and if you're getting that many shaves per blade that makes even more sense, plus I guess you get the feel of a SR. Also - if you're on the road for that time, makes even more sense!

They certainly are nice looking razors, hopefully this won't feed my RAD...thanks for the info!

Cheers!
