I have a supply of them in my inventory of shaving items. About once every 2 years I give them a try for a week, but I always find them too sharp - unnecessarily sharp - for me.
Does ANYONE routinely use Feather blades?

I think they are the sharpest blade on the market. Kensurfs, Sinatra Lennon and Mark Szorady on YouTube use them quite often.
I use them all the time. I bought 200 a few months ago.
I find they are the best in a mild razor like a Merkur 34c . A match that can't be beat.
Exactly. I use them in my 1966 Super Speed. It's a great combo.

I Waxed The Badger.
I did in my Feather Popular. It's a pretty mild razor so the blades stepped it up a notch.
I agree! These two are a terrific combination!

One of my favourites. In my top 5
I use them all the time, Timeless, Karve ,and all my Vintage Gillette Razors no problems . The sharper the blade the closer shave for me.

+1 The Feather is my best modern blade, right up there for sharpness with the Plus Plats or Personna 74's, sadly they don't last as many shaves on me mug. I don't believe there's such a thing as too sharp, too dull is the real problem with any edged tool.
feathers is closest shave i get with my merkur 23c. have tried quite a few razor blades.
Yes, they're my number one blade in any DE, from Single Ring through Super Adjustable
I tried Feathers years ago in a sample.... didn’t like them as they irritated my neck. But it was early in my de shaving journey so I still had to learn things. I may revisit them in the future but am in no hurry to.
I use them in my Timeless Bronze
I agree! Great combo!
I used to find them harsh - but I now like them more than I ever have. Especially in mild razors.
I love them. Use them for every shave
yes these are fantastic blades.. go very well in a timeless and better yet in the JAWS
I too used them with a mild razor. Now, however, I use them with the RR Gamechanger .84 and they now act calm and composed instead of raring to slice. In fact, I had to check the razor to see what blade was loaded due to the smoothness and 10 shaves. I can now shave w/ Feathers all the time.
