A couple years ago West Coast Shaving dropped in a sample Feather blade with my order. I was still new to DE shaving and was hesitant to try it; afraid it would “bite,” etc.
With my most recent order from WCS, they included a pack of Treet Platinum blades. Last week, I put one in my RR Game Changer SB and shaved after lathering up with Palmolive Sensitive cream (2 day beard). I didn’t like the shave; it skipped spots and my skin felt weird after a 2 pass shave (***, across the grain) plus touch-ups. Shaves 2&3 DID get better with this blade but I binned it before shave 4.
Today, I decided to try the Feather in the GC .68sb, 2 day beard using Palmolive Sensitive with a little OG Tabac stuck to the bottom of the shave bowl… I was very impressed with the Feather. It didn’t bite and took down my whiskers like no other blade on a first pass… I’m still figuring out my favorite blades. Most recently, I find the Voshkods very comfortable and I also like Astra SP and Nacet blades. I’ve used Kais which often get compared to the Feather but they aren’t as smooth, I don’t think… And, I’m not sure my opinion shouldn’t be taken with a grain of salt because I just had 3 poor to mediocre to shaves with the Treet Platinum so one could argue that any blade would have been an improvement… I will say the Feather gave me a very easy and comfortable DFS shave with no tugging, at all. I now understand the praise this blade gets from its fans.
