So I needed something to shave with while I send off my straights for sharpening. I picked Up a new Feather (yeah the cheap $20 version) with some Feather blades. Before I had a chance to try it my oldest boy snatched it up, liked it and dear old dad is once again out of luck. So i picked up a 1967 Gillette. I have shaved with it a couple times now (with fore mentioned Feather blades) and am not liking it much. I hurt after shaving. I am not getting cut or bleeding at all just burning like I would get when going against the grain with a cartridge razor. I know it is probably my technique or blade selection. I may be able to get better with it but its disappointing. I am going to try a different blade as well as a shaving cream instead of soap before I give up on it.
