When I started DE shaving almost a year ago, I tried many different blades to find the right fit. I loved the Feathers and Derby's and ended up sticking with the Derby's since at the time I saw no big difference for me and the cost of the Derby's was much less. I realize that the quality of the Derby's is a little inconsistent and if one blade caused me issues, I just chucked it for another. So over the last year I fine tuned my technique and I got good shaves, but in the last couple months I couldn't get great shaves. I adjusted my techinque a bit and still couldn't quite get it. I recently tried the Iridiums and they seemed to be a bit smoother that the Derby's, but I still had issues with my neck.
So, I decided to give the Feathers another go. I stuck with my usual routine and technique and got the greatest shave this morning. I hear that the Feathers will tell you if your technique is still not right. This morning the Feathers told me my technique is spot on. I got BBS and near BBS on my neck. No weepers, nicks or burn. Just a fantastic shave. I think I found my set up: EJ 89L with Feather blades. I may play around with other blades, but I'm sticking to the Feathers for now.
Here's to great shaves!
