12hrs sounds like far too much time in the bathroom TBH 

I use only Feather baldes in any DE razor I use once you get your technique down you may want to give them another trythis was actually my first DE. it is tough to master and i'm still not there yet. the funny thing for me is that i don't like using feather blades in the AS-D1. other blades are just more palatable for my skin.
