Good evening gents, I just had my very first shave with a feather blade (yellow) pack and man I have been procrastinating the heck out of this for the past 3 years (since I started wetshaving 3 years ago) and I have to say it was damn smooth granted I was using my Rockwell 6c on the R3 plate just to be on the safe side and finished off by flipping it to R1 and the result was a DFS+ with zero irritation. I thought jack the ripper would've paid me a visit but alas I was blessed by the dolphin of smooth shaves and it cut down my growth just slightly easier than with my trusty Nacet which is my go 2 always.
I'm gonna bump it up to R4,R2 plate tomorrow but I'm not decided yet or just stick with the same plate I used tonight.
I'll report back tomorrow on the 2nd shave with the same blade I used and see how long these blades last before going dull.
Final note if any of ya are scared of the feather don't be just take your time, it took me like 35 min for this shave since I was being extra cautious.
Also a small update since using Hyaluronic acid for a week now I have been using it not just on the shaved area but on the face overall and neck. So far its great it really is just damn good my face has gotten smoother and softer and it definitely helps with irritation if I had a real irritating razor rash it just soothes you ever so good and I definitely recommend it at just 12 buckaroos on amazon its a hidden gem I'd say.
Oh yes I almost forgot the setup.
