While afraid to use Feathers for years and then ultimately giving them a chance, I have found the following:
- When new they are my favorite blade.
- They dull more quickly then any of my other top tier blades.
- I typically discard my top blades after 4 shaves because I do not want to experience uncomfortable blades in order to save pennies a year, the Feathers get uncomfortable to me after 3 shaves.
- Even though less comfortable, the 4th shave was still a close dfs to bbs shave.
