Day 1 with a Feather is always an exercise in meticulous technique, and extra-slow speed. For some reason, Day 1 Feather shaves are never as close as other shaves... I think I'm scared.

Holy nicks and burn, batman! I underestimated the exfoliating properties of these feathers. I guess my pain is mostly due to underdeveloped technique. Close shave, real close, but I think I'll stick to duller brands for now.
