Hello, Gents.
I had my first shave this morning with my new Feather Artist Club SS folding razor (black handle). It was a bit awkward at first, but once I found the angle, I have a very comfortable and close two-pass shave. Normally, I'm a three-pass shave guy, but this thing demolished the stubble quite handily.
After the first pass (WTG), the stubble was reduced enough to complete an immediate ATG pass and I was finished. Normally, I do WTG, XTG and ATG. I used a Feather ProGuard blade for the shave.
Even though I'd prefer (at this point) to shave with my regular straights, my busy life doesn't always allow time for maintaining my straights. Some days, I really have to shower, shave and run and I don't want to always have to revert to my DEs. That said, a couple weepers on my face following this morning's shave demonstrate that the FAC razor shouldn't be rushed either .
Looking for a bit of guidance here regarding blades...Is the blade difference between the Feather ProGuard and Professional blades significant? Comfort differences?
Thanks.
