Greetings,
Early Morning Shave,
An enjoyable shave to finish my shaving week off in style.
Last outing of the Feather Hi Stainless which has performed wonderfully throughout the week with no blood-loss drama.
My first few shaving experiences with the Feather Hi Stainless where uncomfortable which was down to my lack of shaving experience technique & shaving confidence which had nothing to do with the blade itself.
I was stupidly naive at the time in believing the daunting exaggerated mythological fearsome reputation reviews on them which planted a seed of hesitation in my mind before my first maiden shave with them.
After my two week focus with the Feather Hi Stainless my personal opinion is i cannot deny the maiden head shave at the weekend paired together with the R41 was phenomenally smooth, comfortable, very efficient and was one of the best DE razor face & head shaves that i've had to date...Adding to that the R41/Feather is now is my new found favourite most smooth efficient duo for DE razor head shaving.
My only small crit with them is i was only get 2-3 max good shaves from them after that they quickly lost their smoothness, ok i take into account that head shaving reduces a blade edge & smoothness much quicker when head shaving, that said, i now look forward to using up the remaining 2O+ blades that i have left in future shave that have been gathering dust for such a long time.
As always, this is just my personal opinion and like every other wet shaving soft & hardware, reviews/opinions are very subjective especially DE blades which have to be the most subjective topic within the traditional wet shaving forums....YMMV.
A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report.
Finishing to the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.
My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine.
Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
