I only ever get two good shaves from any blade I've used. I've never had good luck with Feathers in the past so this is brand new to me. I have read in the past the most folks seem to think that shave 2 and 3 are even better than shave 1. I'm going to see how many I can get before it's uncomfortable. I now also need to add the Kai back into this. If the Lupo can turn the Feather into a tempered beast, maybe it can do the same for the Kai. I still have the other two blades to try. Man, I haven't had this much fun in a long time!Yeah, it's a nice combo ... up until the blade starts getting rough. Same with the Nacet.
