Best praise vs top criticism for Feather Hi-Stainless Double Edge Blades
“You're using using the pressure of a disposable, that's why you're nicking yourself. The weight of the razor itself is too much pressure for all but my aluminum ones. Yellow feather blades are a pretty pretty advanced blade to start learning how to use a DE. Great once you know how to though. If you have a sampler, try a gentler, less sharp blade. I still use my astra greens and nacets most of the time.”
“I've been rocking a Merkur 34G with feathers, and a whipped dog silvertip badger brush for 15 years. If it's not broke, don't fix it.”
