Hello all! Just discovered your wonderful site and have recently taken the plunge myself into the wild world of wetshaving. I hope to learn from the many razor gurus on this site.
I have a question concerning Feather blades available here in Japan. I am a complete beginner and I've been reading about Feathers being not the best blades to start out on. Unfortunately all I can find in the shops around my place are two types of Feather blades. My question (and this may be hard to answer) is do you think that these are the same as the Feathers you guys are able to get and often talk about? The packaging looks totally different...anyone try these ones before? Anyone know if they're the same blades with different packaging? Perhaps the only way to find out is to try them eh but I'm a bit hesitatant about cutting my newbie face to ribbons with their shuriken sharpness. (I also posted this in the "Safety Razor" section - hope that's ok)
These ones say "Feather High Stainless"
These ones say "Feather S"
