Started using this blade when I returned to wet shaving. As long as you let the razor do the work, all is well; rush or muscle the thing and it may cost you - these blades are sharp...all considered, it is a solid piece of technology that does what it is supposed to do - provides a great shave; dare I say BBS? Although I will try other blades, this gem stays in my rotation.

Legendary blades but probably not for beginners. Super sharp and, combined with some good soap (I'm rocking the 'how to grow a moustache' hard soaps) and decent technique, will deliver an epic shave. I have really sensitive skin and a steel wool beard but get no irritation with these. Each blade lasts a solid week of shaves. Unbeatable.

I love the feather blades since they are notably sharper than other brands I've tried. They last longer too and I'm all good with that.

This is not a razor to start wet shaving with but one you get it down feather razors are the best sharp as can be some times I only have to shave once not twice. And you could go against the grain if you are brave enough.
