I prefer my Feather blades at around shave 5 and up because I like them a little "dull". I always dread putting that new blade in.

Definitely took me a while to get used to just how sharp the feather blades are. And when I use my Feather after using nothing but straights for a few months, I have to SLOOOOW down. I can whip out...

Yesterday I made the mistake of forgetting how sharp those feather blades are. I was in a hurry in the morning and so I did a quick 5 minute shave with the shavette - ended up driving to work with a...

My favorite thing about the Feather is when I'm in a hurry. I can do a quick 5-10 minute shave with now stropping and have about BBS before walking out the door.

@earcutter.. I'm just really impressed with the shave. Almost all my razors have come straight from Lynn, so very well honed. Yet these Feathers seem to be about on par. I still get more cuts (no...

@earcutter... about straights or about feathers?

I'm really impressed with the Feather. After my experience with the Parker (which wasn't really that bad) I had kind of written off shavettes as it couldn't compare with the straights. This Feather...

Wow... ok, so I'm impressed now. Maybe it's more skill (although I've had a shavette for months), but the Feather blade tonight shaved better after sitting for a few days than on my first shave. ...

Thinking about giving the Feather another shot tonight... curious to see after the blade sat for a few days how it acts. I rinsed with EtOH before storing, so let's see how it does after 2 days of...

@MJC... let me check army 670-1 regs for the "mo".... UHHM.. no.

@MJC... having gotten used to straights, the "bulbous head" that you describe on the SS is one of my cons with the razor. A little hard to get under the nose. With that said... still an awesome...

@RollinCoal69.. after trying the SS, that's where I'm at. I want this for a travel blade. If I'm going to spend over $200, I'll get an actual straight. BUT... for $100 and no need for...

@boarder277 - I just tried the Feather SS for the first time yesterday and got about as good of a shave as with my straights. Having seen that, I'm not sure how much better the DX could be given...

@earcutter... looked at my amazon account and it says "out for delivery". So, this evening will be my first feather experience (with the pro blades). And just to be clear, people tend to use LESS...

I went ahead and bought a feather SS yesterday (should be here tomorrow) to give a shot. For travel, it would be easier not to have to carry a strop/CrOX and not have to worry about finding a place...

@boarder277: Actually, I just looked up my previous razor orders and I mispoke - I use Shark blades with my Parker S1 shavette and feather blades with my DE. I looked up feather shavettes when I...

I have a parker shavette with feather blades. I still use it occasionally and can get really good shaves. My only complaint with the shavette vs the straight is that the shaves "don't last as...
