been shaving DE for a couple years now and thought it couldn't get any better than that, and recently a coworker gave me a Parker srw to try out and after a bit of a learning curve, I'm starting to get the hang if it. it's a great close shave with feather blades and so far only had a couple bloodlettings, lol. on the first shave I nicknamed the razor bloodsport. I'm currently in Afghanistan so I attribute the poor water quality to some of my mishaps because it's difficult to get a good lather. I have but one question and it's about blades. is find the feathers to be almost too sharp, if there is such a thing. would something like a derby extra be more suitable or is it too close to call? I have great results with feathers in my DE but maybe they are overkill in a shavette. thanks guys, Blacksheep out
