I did in my Feather Popular. It's a pretty mild razor so the blades stepped it up a notch.
This. They are a perfect match.

I bought a pack of Feathers recently and tried out one for the first time in my 1950's Gillette Rocket just recently. The Rocket is quite mild and the Feather really suited it, however, I only got two shaves out of it. By the third shave it was just pulling and tugging. Is this normal for a Feather?

I really love sharp blades and Feathers are the sharpest right out of the pack. However, there are other blades that get just as sharp after the first or second shave as the coating wears. I find that Feathers do seem to dull quickly and by shave 4 can start pulling. They then seem to stabilize for a couple of shaves but I seldom use them past 3 shaves. The only blade I comfortably get 7 shaves from are GSBs. But other sharp blades I use include my favorite Nacet and Gillette 7'Oclock Black. I also enjoy Polsilvers, Personna Reds, and Permasharps just behind those other 4.I bought a pack of Feathers recently and tried out one for the first time in my 1950's Gillette Rocket just recently.
