First, due to Feather blades' reputation I consider this a milestone. In that regard I must thank B&B and its users for the valuable input.
I feel like I'm the only shaver that's waited patiently to try my pack of Feathers--They've been sitting in my shave den for nearly six months while I've been busy working on lathering and shave technique (and dabbling in straight razors).
My initial experience is mixed. I felt that Feathers are significantly sharper than my go-to (Derbys) although not necessarily more comfortable. I did not get any burning or unusual irritation but I also didn't get quite as close as I expected. However this was my first Feather and I'm not discounting them--I'll continue to use them until I get some results I consider to be definitive.
Thanks again to everyone that helped make my first Feather shave nick/cut/bump/burn free!
