Since I started DE shaving, I’ve always been careful to try to balance less aggressive blades with more aggressive razors, and vice versa. For most of this year, my technique was still evolving and I was still getting to know the different soaps and creams at my disposition so it seemed like a good precaution.
This morning I thought “let’s live a little” and loaded a Feather in my Blackland Dart (a fairly aggressive razor). I was using Arko so I knew I was covered in the soap quality department.
Well, I am here to say, it was one of my best shaves of the year. For the first time I could really appreciate how much better my technique has gotten, but I also got to really feel just how insanely sharp and efficient Feathers are (I was usually using them in a Merkur 34C).
The end results are mind blowing. Smoothest shave in a long time, and little to no blood.
It reminds me of the old saying about kitchen knives, how a blunt knife is way more dangerous than a well maintained, well sharpened one, because you don’t have to work as hard to cut your ingredients, you can focus on accuracy etc. Same thing here.
So yeah, just thought I’d share my findings.
Happy shaving Friday!
