I'm pretty new to DE shaving. I've only been doing this since Christmas. I use a Merkur Futur dialed back to 1 and I get damn good shaves with it. I started out with the Merkur blade that came with the razor and it worked well. I then switched to red Personnas and they worked flawlessly for me. Lately I've been using feathers (on my 3rd blade) and I end up bleeding. Every. Single. Time. It never fails.
I'm guessing my technique needs some work? I don't know. I'd hate to ditch the feathers ( I bought a 50 pack) before learning what I might be doing wrong.
