For those of you that use a very sharp blade like a Feather for example, what is the primary benefit you see from it? Is it the fact that it works well with coarser whiskers? Does it make your razor more "efficient", i.e. same result with less passes/less touchup? Or does it make for a longer lasting BBS/DFS?
I'm wondering because it seems as though whenever I use a blade that's supposed to be smoother/more forgiving, I find that, even if at the end of the shave I have a BBS, stubble appears a bit sooner than if I use a sharper blade. My sample size is a bit limited, so I'm not sure if that's typical or if it's more of a coincidence.
