I will preface this with the fact that I am very new to wet shaving and DE in general. I have tried my new EJ with Personna and Iridium blades. No problems there, but a close shave seemed to take many many passes. This is the result of my technique needing improvement which I am working on. I've been rotating creams between VDH deluxe soap, Proraso green tea soap, weleda cream, tabac cream, and musgo real. Overall very good results, but musgo real and tabac are my favorites. So today I decided to try one of the infamous feather blades....wow is all I can say. Did I get nics? or weepers? ...does Sarah Palin say you betcha? Extremely sharp blade which made my newbie technique become all the more obvious. My face is a little worse for the wear right now, but its nothing that my Thayer's witch hazel and some good balm wont fix. It was a valuable learning experience, and a nice close shave even if I butchered myself a little. It just proved that there is no substitute for good products that are properly used...i guess I am now addicted, I just need to go back to iridium or derby blades for a bit longer until I am ready for the ninja blades
