How are you getting on with the Feather Super? I wanted to like them, but couldn't get an enjoyable shave...
This was my first shave with Pro Supers as well as the Vector. Actually even the Wickman was new to me. I have only used the Pro blades in the past and was intrigued to try the Pro Supers. Keep in mind this is only based on 1 shave with the Supers, but my initial opinion is: 1) Both blades feel fine to me. 2) The Supers felt slightly more aggressive and are very rigid. 3) The Supers do not offer any improvements for me over the regular Pro. 4) I suspect I will not pay the premium for the Supers in the future. I think they work fine but I can’t answer why I would buy over the standard Pros which are generally offered for a few dollars less and may be slightly more comfortable.
