Sharp and smooth for me. love them. #1 on my rotation.
That describes Feather blades perfectly. I guess people with beards that aren't tough might get more than two shaves from them, but why would anyone need to use Feather blades if they did not have a tough beard. Since Feather blades are more expensive per blade than a lot of other blades that will last twice as long, they do not represent a good value. I guess if you have no concern about blade costs and use you blades "one and done", Feather blades would be great.
The last time I used a Feather was when I started wet-shaving in December 2018. I was using a VDH TTO at the time, way too mild of a razor, and I tore myself up using a Feather. Also wasn't using properly hydrated lather either, which never helps. Vowed to never use a Feather again.
Fast forward to this morning, July of 2020, a solid 18 months later, and using a fresh Feather in an aggressive/efficient Razorock Game Changer JAWS open comb beast of a razor, I had one of the smoothest shaves EVER using a Feather. Just mowed down everything like it never existed and had zero blood or irritation, a truly magnificent shave.
To summarize, I have gone from hating.......to LOVING A FEATHER!
