I tried a feather blade on Thursday evening and I was really impressed after using my free Merkur blades that came with my Futur, no more niks than usual - fewer if anything - still relatively new to DE shaving - I always shave after a hot shower btw. However, I shaved again with the same blade and the result was less so and my face, esp my neck was covered in niks and razor burn was by far the worst I have ever experienced. There are also still a few patches which are not as closely shaven as the rest of my face.
I have read that they should last for 3-4 shaves but I am somewhat apprehensive about using the same blade for a 3rd time, or indeed a second time with a new feather. I have my razor set at 1.5. Any pointers please?
I think I will try a less aggresive blade next time.
