Feather Blades

[taprater]

SO I was reading some of the recent post regarding feather blades and one morning before work I was set on trying them out so I popped out on of my Derby's and replaced it with a feather and omg the results were amazing I love them I had a wonderful shave only one small nic and no irritation. I went to work and felt like a million dollars had been smothered on my face!!!

Feathers are great blades, have you tryed Kai or Astra Blades?

 

[taprater]

No I haven't I was trying to use all my Derby's before chaanging but just decided to try them out.

Feathers are great blades! Them and my Tech are my favorite combination.

The Feathers are wonderful blades, although I don't like them best in every razor. For example, I like the Derby's best in my 38C Barberpole (and that is my overall best combo, results-wise). On the other hand, a Feather in a Tech, 40's SS or Aristocrat can be heavenly.

I also like the well-respected RPIP, but they are a distant 3rd in my book.

Of course, probably more than anything else, choice of blade is very personal.

Enjoy!

For me it is feathers all the way! My next step is to get a slant bar and try that combo!!!!

Feathers are a little to unforgiving for me. YMMV. Give me red IP personnas.

Feather + Vision = Bliss! I love my Feathers and don't plan to try anything else for a while.

The Irridium supers are an excellent blade worth trying. Sharp and smooth with minimal effort.

Those two blades are at the same level than Feather for me.

My pack of Feathers arrived today. I haven't tried them as my beard hasn't grown back, but im very excited about it.

I had 80 left and just received 400 more!

400?! Why so many? Do you change them every day?

I'm too afraid they will go extinct.
And every time I'll take an order in the future from a shop that sells them, I'll take another 100 probably.

BTW, I switch them after 3 shaves (4 if I use Proraso cream on the 4th shave).

I just tried Astra blades the other day. I was very impressed. I love my derby's but I could be pursuaded to switch to these.

I change mine every Saturday. I'll see how my new Feathers go. If I don't like them im just going to buy a big pack of Israeli blades. They do a very good job for me.

I like the feeling that I don't have to "work as hard" to get a close shave with a Feather. I have to be careful, yes, but I try to be careful shaving all the time anyway. It just seems the Feather cuts through my very course beard effortlessly.

 

[tlanning]

The IP is the best blade in my futur, but for the first time I truely believe that different blades work differently in different razor. (way to many differents there).

The feather works like a charm with no nicks or irratation in my slants. Go figure.

Me too. I gave my Feathers to my son to use in his slant.
It's OK, I am an EMT.
