As far as rating blades, that is a very subjective and your preference for a given blade will differ from mine. Happy shaves.
Most of the comments throughout the forum are very general....."try them and find the one that works for you"......

How has the Feather blade been tested to claim it's the sharpest????? Is it only an individual preference?
