Thread: Feather blades

My personal choice is the super. It delivers a premium shave an I can get ten shaves or more out of them. I also use the proguard blade but primarily for shaving others. I.e. Swmbos legs. Like the added protection when blade is not on me.

It's kinda one of those things you have to try yourself. I will not use anything but Professional Super blades. Unlike the other blades, I find the edge far more durable and it's less knick prone than the Pro. Then again, while my beard is rather thin, it's hard to cut against the grain and the Pro Supers plow through it without issues. The Pro plow through the beard too, but usually accompanied by some red fluid seeping out of my skin!

And a quick tip to you 'tip' shavers, I found that I tended to use the tip half of the blade the most, so flipping the blade around after about 5 shaves gave me the new blade feel and extended the life of the blade. I get 8 to 10 shaves out of the Pro Super and only about 5 out of the Pro.... I did not care at all for the guarded blade, and the *lite* blade is one I wasn't even aware of!

good point about reversing the blade for "tip" shavers. I have a feather ss, and noticed the tip getting dull. Never thought to reverse the blade. I'll try that on my blade when it gets dull. Thx.
