start with the feathers,toss the rest in the trash:)
Keep in mind that blades do not perform the same in every razor, so a blade that performs poorly in one razor may perform great in another (and vice versa). Welcome to the wonderful world of DE's, it's a slippery slope from here :D
My experiences so far in order of trying them:
1) Dorco - didn't tug on hair but the final shave wasnt too close after 3 passes
2) Treet - felt like it was tugging at my hair, not a close shave at all.
3) Feather - super sharp as expected! However, I started to feel some irritation during the 2nd pass so I didn't do a 3rd pass and as a result, didn't get a close shave.
I really haven't gotten a close shave yet. Any advice? Difference razor angle?
The Feather ripped me up the first time I used it. As a result, I discarded it and didn't use it for almost half a year. In the meantime, my shaving technique improved dramatically and I finally can get that superlight touch. The Feather blades really require that gentleness, as they are very unforgiving. By now, my very smoothest shaves come from the Feathers. I just hope I will get my straight razors in the same league of sharpness anytime soon.
From that group I have only used the feathers. IMO they aren't anything to be afraid of. When used properly they won't injure you. They are a good razor blade.

I only use a DE when going out of town, feathers are my main blade because I have a ton of them
But are other blades that are as good or better than Feathers in some aspects, such as Balzanos and KAIs.
