Why isn't Sharpest Always Best?

Feathers are fantastic. If you're looking for something very similar with just a touch less harshness try the Gillette Nacet. I get three uses from them and toss.

When I first started I hated the first shave of a Feather too and would get little cuts. Now I get the best shave from the first one and no cuts. It had to be technique the whole time.

You are absolutely right Olivia. There is no substitute for sharp. There is no substitute for technique.
When you combine the two at the highest level you get the highest level of comfort.

I fail to understand how using a duller blade will help anyone shave better. I like clubhouse sandwiches. If I were teaching someone how to slice tomatoes do you think I should teach them how to use a duller knife first?
