how do you do the feathers just break them in half? Would like to try that when I used DE's Feathers were my favorite blade and still have a bunch

You need the Feather Artist Club blades. To cut them you can just use tin snips. The better way is to use a dremel cut off wheel and shorten the blade. If you need some Feathers to play with I have some I can give you.

I just started with the Gem razors. So far, my favorite is the safety-bar Micromatic. I'm using the drugstore Gem blades, which aren't bad, and have some Pellas on the way.

I use an injector for those times when I am in a rush. I put on some brushless cream. Do 3 Injector passes without needing to mix lather, rinse or relather. When I am done I just wash my face and I am done. It takes between 5 and 10 minutes.

I use an injector periodically. Nice shave. I use some NOS Schick blades (ones made in US). I found a supply at an old drug store here in town and stocked up. Have enough to last for quite awhile.

Although I've gone almost exclusively to str8s my quick-n-dirty-in-a-hurry blade is a Rolls Razor. A nice heavy blade that never has to be replaced and comes in the coolest case ever. Also good for on the road when you don't want to deal with bringing a separate strop.

Closest thing to a straight you can come.
