I love challenges! I’m in! PM on the way.
I'm really curious to see how many good shaves you can get out of a Feather...
Can we expect a count of 50 here as well?
You're awesome, Sir! Thank you.I apologize for the delay; I ran out of envelopes and needed to restock.

There are still quite a few blades available to be given out, so don't be bashful about asking!!
Also not in, also subbing for the comparisons, hehe.Not in, but subscribing for the fun comparisons.
You should compare the blades that you have to each other and post once in awhile! You could give us newbies to these blades a few tips!Also not in, also subbing for the comparisons, hehe.
Both of these blades are in my permanent supply, so no need to take up a spot in the PIF.
My Kai blades arrived in yesterday's mail, have some Feather blades on hand, so today the challenge begins for me! Now, the hardest issue, what razor to use.....? Stay tuned.That's awesome. Whenever the first Challenge Sets of Blades arrive, then the Challenge Begins!!

Side anecdote here:Blade: Feather, shave 1
Razor: Gillette OLD type, thick cap
Proceeded with caution and optimism, as it's been a long time since I've used a Feather. From the first north-south passes I can feel how sharp it is; it doesn't leave anything uncut on the left sideburns (it leaves a little on the right). Better first pass than most.
Second pass, XTG, also goes without incident. Maybe a tiny nick, but pretty decent beard reduction.
Mustache area needs some attention before a true ATG, so I give it a modified ATG/XTG in preparation.
Third pass, ATG, goes pretty well on my cheeks, but that's the best I can say. Many razors give me a tradeoff: keep going to get a close shave even though you'll get cuts OR back off and save your skin but leave a little stubble. Feather is unique in that it manages to cut my skin but leave the hairs. I don't know how it's so selective, but I wish it were selective in the opposite way. Dots of blood in mustache, sides of mustache, soul patch area and under jaw. Stubble remaining on my mustache, some under my jaw. There's a big patch of stubble on my chin, next to a bump, that I missed and will have to touch up with another blade or my beard trimmer attachment.
Skin was tight and shiny initially, now very dry. Through the dryness, little hairs the blade missed reveal themselves, even in simple areas such as lower cheeks. I'm not sure how such a sharp razor misses so much.
