Nacet's have been my go-to blade for years... they are smooth shaving and give me close, irritation free shaves every time and I've never found anything close. I'm always looking for a backup blade, tho. Feathers were almost there but leave my neck irritated. I have a coarse grey beard and shave with a Timeless Ti with either an .95 OC or SB plate depending on how many days growth. Bonus if not Russian made. TIA
