I stepped up to the plate...

[One Fierce Beer Coaster]

I tried these feather blades out on a Merkur 34C HD, and bled like a stuck hog. I was measured and found wanting. The feathers just jumped up and bit me.

Well, months had passed and I decided to try them out again. This time, on my 58 Fatboy on setting #7. I made my WTG pass with a new blade and a new razor.....presto, its BBS.

I was amazed at the difference b/w Merkur blades and Feather blades.


So, I'm looking at this...

Merkur blades to get a BBS = WTG, XTG, some ATG.

Feather blades to get a BBS = WTG

I think feather blades just won over a new customer.

Out of the modern blades, they are certainly one of the best.

Feathers are an excellent blade and will certainly let you know if your technique is off.

It is fantastic when just the change of a blade results in a perfect shave. Congrats!

I also love my Feathers but they are expensive in comparison, so I often find myself reaching for my Astras instead which are almost if not quite as good.
