Thread: Feather Artist Club Question

Just received my new Feather Artist Club straight and the 3 light blades it came with. Inserted the blade which I had assumed would click into position but actually just is held in by the spring pressure and the shave wasn't all that smooth or easy. Quite a bit of irritation in fact.

What I am wondering is how do you know you have the blade in the right position? I used their loader mechanism but it didn't go in straight and aligned across the edge with the holder and so I pushed the blade in until it hit the stop. Looks and feels perhaps too deep in, not sure.

What is making me wonder is I have heard the proper shave angle is very slight almost flat to the face but when I tried that the blade itself didn't even touch my face so the angle became more or less the same as I would have with a normal straight, a few spines off. Does this look inserted correctly?
