Hi All,

All this while, I've blindly loaded my feather with feather blades. While these are great, I haven't asked the question, are any other blades that might be better?

Let me know what you think guys!

Thanks

Paul

Iridiums I thought were a very close second followed by Personna Meds.

This is something that you're going to have to find out for yourself, as no too shavers are really alike.

Best to get a blade sampler pack and go to it.

Yes the answer is it depends, different skin types react differently to different blades. I like the feather in my slant but not at all in my slim adjustable. I don't have a Feather razor though, so i can't help you out there. But many vendors have samplers, so you can try a bunch.

Yea, then at least you will know you tried them! You very well may decide that Feathers are for you, and there are some vendors like DrIdiot who can give you very good deals on them, so they are not that much more expensive than other top end blades. My only issue is per shave cost as they do not last as long as others, they live a short and glorious life, then burn out quickly.

If we're talking about the Feather All Stainless, I think Feather blades are better than anything else in it. They almost seem made for each other. I like Feather blades in the AS-D1 more than in any other razor I own.

Good move.....Feathers cost me about $20 to $30 extra a year. If consider it a small price for getting the best results.
