I've been DE shaving for a couple of months now and have been using a Parker with several different blades. I bought a Futur two weeks ago and the first time using it I put a Feather in it. Man did I cut & nick my chin area. I only had the Futur set on 1.5 then moved to 1.0. Well I changed the blade to a Gillette 7 O'Clock and got great shaves. Next I used the Red Personna and again got great shaves - no nicks, no cuts. I decided to try the Feather in my Parker to see if it made a difference and BAM! on the second pass a nice cut underneath my chin this morning.
I know I don't have the best techinique but only cut myself with the Feathers. Can the Feather just be too sharp for me? Also if I'm getting great shaves from the RP & Gillette should I even consider trying the Feathers in the future??
