Well, I used the Feathers for three shaves in a row in my Merkur HD... Definately "less forgiving" in terms of minor nicks that heal within seconds of the cold-water-rinse, but certainly closer for the intial N-S pass to clear things up. It's when I get to the closer passes that things get, well, bloody. Not bad enough to stop, of course, but still worse than the Merkurs... (Although when I first started with the HD with Merkur blades it was similar in terms of bloodiness, so maybe I just need more time with the Feathers?)
I'm thinking of trying two separate razors- keep my Merkur HD loaded with the Feather blades for the inital N-S and E-W passes, and then go to my Futur with a Merkur blade for the final S-N and touch-ups...
Anybody else ever switch up their razors mid-shave for different purposes?
