Well i have shaved with my new Feather for a couple weeks and have decided i do not like it as much as i thought i would i am going to use my mach 3 but i have learned some about shaving from all of your posts and i like my mach 3 with GFT Violet shave cream and my Badger brush used in the shower great shave and a real pleasure what more can you ask for. I have not had enough posts to sell on this forum but i will be listing the Feather on ebay today my ebay name is d-ray50 also if any one is interested i just wanted to give you a heads up. Thanks for all of the great info i have read and applied to get a really good and pleasant shave and i will continue to read and enjoy this forum Dan.
