I find that while it is much less forgiving than a traditional str8 blade, and thus requires more care and less pressure, in return it provides a wonderful shave.

I’ve found the Feather vs. traditional blade to be a bit of a holy war in here... But honestly I appreciate and use both, and recommend anyone who has not tried a Feather to give it a go. They take a little practice to tame, but once you bring it to heel, it will reward you with great shaves.
