I Agree Chris that was in my original post was would we have felt the same about the razor if it didn’t come in the box.The box was one of the things that drew me to it. I insist on keeping the razor in the box - not on display. This means it sits in a drawer instead of the den and I can't appreciate its beauty. I really thought that through....
Feather was my first blade and i didn’t like it,I would also try a few different blades...I've had very good shaves with Feathers, Wizamets and PolSilvers.
Ya know... a less finicky blade than the Feather might be the answer...I really like my Wizamets and PolSilvers (made by the same company) with this razor...the facets and Gillette ninjas are also a good go to blade.Feather was my first blade and i didn’t like it,
Can’t remember what my second & third was but i’ll look back & check.
I’m willing myself on to like it
