You will be hard pressed to convince me.

[craig94yj]

I am a 2 month rookie DE shaver and I have been using various blades that I have received in samples packs, PIFs and with other orders and I finally, out of sheer curiosity, ordered a 5 pack of Feather blades to try. I put one in my Muhle R101 last night and I was totally convinced that these blades are worthy of all the hype. I am a head shaver also and I have a few spots on my neck and head where going ATG, even after several passes W and XTG, are quite challenging for most blades. In my razor the Personnas have been the best performers until last night. I will be cruising the net today for the best price on a 100 pack. I am officially on the Feather band wagon and you will be hard pressed to convince me to get off. Thanks B&B Ladies and Gents for all the advice in all the forums.

I wish I could say the same but I don't think feathers agree with my face. Gillette yellows are a lot like feathers and are cheaper.

I agree, Feather blades rock. Best price would be Jason (dridiot) over in the vendor forum. 100 pack was is the 27-28 dollar range shipped, the last time I got a quote - maybe a little less, I can't remember. PM him to get a quote to your location.

Note, he's in Singapore, so will take a bit to get them. Generally, ten days or so to my location in Indiana.

The only blade that compares for me are the super iridiums

polsilvers are good too

 

[jmsodpc]

i am new to this DE shaving and from what i've read....i'm scared to try the feathers since i dont like bleeding.

 

[Mad Man]

Hated Feathers in my first sampler - ended up being the first 100 pack I bought!

Revisit blades/razors/any product later on. Your technique eventually catches up to some and completely bypasses others. And sometimes YMMV.

 

[ThePatrician]

I still haven't tried Feathers; I use Gillette yellows, and to me they're like shaving with buttered angel wings. I have been thinking about cracking open the Feathers I got with my sampler pack way back when, but I'm having too much fun with the Yellows!

I've found that if you put a feather in what's considered a mild razor (like my trusty Gillette SuperSpeeds) one get's an excellent shave from them.

 

[Mick]

Feathers have been in my top 5 faves for a long time. I must have close to 800 of them by now.

 

[celestino]

Congrats. Wait until you try the Super Iridiums.

My exact experience. All I use now, though a friend pif'ed me a bunch to try.

 

[craig94yj]

Alex I look forward to trying some Polsilvers and Celestino I have wanted to try the SI's. I have heard many good things about them. I am ordering a 100 pack of the Feathers to be my daily blade. I have tried the Gillette Yellows and I thought Personnas gave me a better shave. I realize that razor and blade combos vary and I am also aware that as technique improves you should revisit products. I ask all of you, will we ever not continue to sample so many of the fine products that are available to us? I have my AD under control, but I am not cured. lol Thank you all for your opinions.

 

[celestino]

Well, the Super Iridiums work in all DEs, in my opinion.

 

[PugslyCat]

I was through the Feathers in my blade sampler before I heard about their reputation for biting neophyte shavers. I had no problems with them, but I really didn't find much difference at all between blades. Maybe I could now that I've been at this a while.

Oh yeah, well I say "Get off"!!!!

 

[El-a-Menthol]

Feather are great and probably the sharpest but not the smoothest.
If I were you I buy the pack but try a few more blades along the way.
Maybe not now but after a few months you might have new razors and improved technique.
There are some scary sharp but super smooth blades out there that you want to try at least once.

 

[Mad Man]

Tried to explain the concept of 'sharp' vs 'smooth' to which SWMBO replied

"they're just all blades aren't they....?" and I answered

"and they're JUST SHOES aren't they...?"

Good thing the sofa is comfy.
