It was funny explaining that to my SWMBO that I just feathered my face haha. But I finally got up the nerve to use a feather. My technique has been improving lately and I've had great luck with my shaves. So I loaded up the ol SS with a feather blade and they did not disappoint. Slicing through my beard effortlessly. I had one little nick down on my neck in my trouble area, but was able to get a smooth shave on my cheeks, chin and jawline area. Still working on the neck part, but getting better about not nicking myself or irritating the neck area. I'll chalk it up as a victory and know that I have no reason to be afraid of the Feather blades. I'm still a fan of the Astras and Personna's, which have become my go to blades, but I'm definitely going to keep Feathers around!
