Hello all,
Just wanted to share my recent experience using Feather AC Pro Super blades in my Artist Club SS. Against my expectations, and despite some initial weepers, they immediately provided a more comfortable shave overall than anything I've used before. This was a really nice surprise.
I'd bought a pack of 20 just to see what they were like. The blades I've used up to now were all of standard or mild protrusion, so I was a little daunted by the extra blade exposure on the Pro Super: these protrude quite a bit more and are known for giving an aggressive shave. I'm going to credit this forum and specifically a user named @Twelvefret who some time ago encouraged me to try moving from the ProGuard blades to the standard Pros. Trying Pro Supers seemed a logical and fun next step forward!
I'm four shaves in now and I believe I'm converted for life. Yes, they can cut: they will mow through bumps on the skin more easily than standard blades. Over these four shaves, the blood loss has reduced each time - primarily due to giving adequate time between shaves for the previous cuts to heal up a bit! This last shave was blood-free and really, really comfortable. My educated guess is that it's due to fewer passes being required for the same result, with much less tidying up.
They're perhaps not the ideal blade for people just starting out, but I'd guess that once someone is getting reasonably comfortable shaves on a regular basis, it could be a good move.
