7 O'CLOCK WEEK (2023) STARTS on the 21st of AUGUST.

LOL! Never knew they called them Indian Feathers, but that just makes me laugh.

It is something I have run across on social media, not only in relation to these blades, but sometimes other Indian blades. I honestly think that once sharpness gets past a certain level, some folks no longer perceive a difference. Like, if your usual blade is Derby Extra then almost everything seems "As sharp as a Feather!"

Still, it is a very solid blade. I like it!

It is just that most guys with light and medium tough whiskers can't get a real perspective of blade sharpness. Years ago I wondered about comments like "Bic is Feather sharp" or "Nacet is Feather sharp". Then how come I get BBS with the Feather and not with the Bic or Nacet in a Tech with the same brush and cream?

Excuse my asking, but are you in the Fatip cult?

Excuse my asking, but are you in the Fatip cult?

I think I might be. My Mk1 Grande was the only razor I used for 5 or 6 years, and now I also have this one and a Piccolo (which I can't find - it's a complete mystery where it has gone). Nowadays, I have a drawer full of CNC stainless razors, but it's tough to beat a Fatip!

I didn't know it was a cult!

It is just a joke a like repeating from time to time. So many Fatip lovers on this forum.

LOL! Never knew they called them Indian Feathers, but that just makes me laugh. Sharpness difference is big between them. I have heard people calling a dozen other blades "Feather-sharp" though.

I always heard them called Ninjas in the old days.

Shave #2 is usually the sharpest to me on these.

Same here. But on #1 they can't cut my whiskers properly in a 2013 R41. Even with Palmolive cream.

I think they call them "Black Ninjas". Ridiculous.

I think I worked out why they call them "Indian Feathers"

I was not expecting that!

Brush: Yaqi Evil Zebra
Soap: RR Emperor

Tonight was my 18th AAA shave of the month and lathered with the Evil Zebra gave yet another excellent shave. I decided for the last shave with the SharpEdge of 7 O'Clock week to help it's failing edge along a little by using the R41. The shave was quite comfortable and the R41s added efficiency led me to a BBS finish in three standard passes.
After finishing my 100 ml Old Spice this morning I am starting to 3017 my Proraso Green. Now I'm down to 4 aftershaves.

Thanks to @ivan_101 for hosting

Gentlemen, I would like to thank all the participants. This wouldn't be possible without you. I consider this year's s 7 O'Clock Week a huge success. 8 pages compared to 4 last year.

Until next year!
