Turk said:Finally got around to using the Feather in my Merkur 34c. Cut like butter. Very smooth. Will have to monitor these 10 blades to see if this is the way to go. I only nicked 1x on my neck, very slight but didn't even know it happened till later.
I'm not one to say 'i told you so', but...Turk said:So today I did the exact opposite of what WhatTheStig said to do. I was in a hurry this morning and my neck paid for it! Must have taken 3 nicks in the neck, didn't even know it until I looked in the mirror after rinsing and I had blood weeping out. They are a great shave and I guarantee that in the future, when a Feather is involved, I will most definitely slow down. :shock:
Turk said:Today's shave was interesting. Using a feather, wasn't in a big hurry but for some reason, I took out a chunk of my lip. No fun. Hope it heals fast. I have found that the feathers are the only ones who seem to cut me up bad at times. Just IMO.
Neep said:Today (with regard to all the "warnings") I opened up the pack of Feather blades, popped one into the Fatboy and dialled it down to "3". Even considered 2. OK I'm a chicken, but you guys did give warnings, right?
All I can say is.... BRILLIANT !!
(I also discovered that my Fatboy set at 3 is different on each side, one with slightly more bite than the other).
