My first tryst with Feather ended in a bloody mess a few years ago.
I used to stick them in any razor...EJ89, Muhle 41, Ikon DLC, Fatboys
and Slims cranked up to 9 etc.
After reading that they pair up better with mild razors...and I dont like mild razors...I thought
I'd try Feathers again.
But before I commit I'm going to try the two types that are available and find out
what's what.
Ive seen them in Yellow and Grey/Black packs wondering what the differences are.
A shop that sells them near me told me the yellow ones have 10 blades in each tuck while the Grey/Black ones have 5. But he claimed both are exactly the same blade.
I picked up a yellow tuck and he even had a special grey/black tuck which also had 10 blades.
I pulled out one from the grey/black pack and stuck in my most infuriatingly mild
razor....a lovely Aristocrat #66. Wow....this thing shaved me cleaner than my Charcoal Goods lvl 2, blackbird and uk red tip superspeed. And no nicks, weepers at all. Now I do not have any urges to fling my #66 against a wall.
So, did the mild razor tame the Feather, or did the Feather elevate what was a pretty humdrum razor for me?
I have to say BOTH!
Im going to be comparing Feathers from both these packs before getting a 100. I'll be using them in all my mild razors from now...NEW, 2-piece RFB #77....hell I might even chuck it in a
Charcoal Goods Level 2 if Im feeling brave enough.
