That only really comes with experience. It's one of the reasons why I advocate a new DE shaver using one blade type for a protracted period. Once you can be reasonably confident that the other variables are under some sort of control, you can really make a judgement as to different types of blade. If your prep or lather are good one day and lousy the next, you won't be able to determine how the change of blade has affected the shave.Halk said:Something that I find makes it difficult to really judge a blade is controlling all of the other variables. How do we know, for example, that our stubble is at the most pliant it can be, or how do we really tell we got a great lather from the shaving soap/cream rather than just a very good one.

I use them for those days when I have a few days' growth. They are fantastic for tackling a beard after a few days off. I used to take the best part of half an hour hacking away at my beard with multi-blade cartridges. They are blunt compared to Feathers.
A Feather loaded in a Slant bar - now there's a combo!
