I started wetshaving again about 2 years ago. I read the threads on the old wetshavers forum and ordered a Merkur DE from classicshaving. I also ordered a box of Merkur blades. I was at Enchante at the beginning of 2005 and bought a box of Feather blades. I found them to be sharper than the Merkur blades. I was quite happy with the blades for about a year. I bought several boxes of the blades and was stocked up for another year.
A few months ago Kyle gave me a few Derby blades to try. I found them to be sharp and switched over to the Derbys. I bought quite a few boxes of the Derby blades. I thought I had found the perfect blade.
About 2 weeks ago I found the feather blades in my cabinet and decided to try them again. I loaded up a feather blade in my Gillette Aristocrat and used it with SaintCharles shave soaps. I have to tell you that I got one of the best shaves I have ever had. I may need to switch back to the feathers.
