trying new blades sampler

My first shave (literally in the past couple of days) was with an Astra Platinum, and it was simply amazing - the experience was my first post here on B&B today. It's definitely going to be the blade I use while learning and improving my technique. I feel when I am through those (100 pack) I'll be ready to try the Feathers. I respect them too much to load those in so early in my trek.

Really I don't understand why people fear the Feathers so much. All blades are sharp and will cut you if you shave improperly, I read so many horror stories about this blade but I think they really exaggerate. I did like this blade but to me there are better blades.

If you're looking for a great blade that lasts longer and has the same smoothness as the Astra SP you need to get a sample of Permasharp. I have experienced them as the best blades. They last longer (I get 8+ shaves with one blade), they are very smooth. And they are so underrated in my opinion.
