Six shaves here before I replace them.They are very sharp blades that work well in certain razors.
However they are expensive and dull very quick, most people seem to bin them after two uses.
That said, I am a fan!
That might well be your optimum shave with the Feather (number 3). They degrade really quickly. You'll know if you push it too far - they will cut you up a treat. Best wishes - IHad shave #2 today. Amazing!
Going for #3 Wednesday now, so looking forward to the outcome (or not) as the case may be!
You were totally and utterly correct in your assumption @DigimonkeyTold you so. Best wishes - I
Next on the list of MUST buys!Try the Kai blades. I.

Edit: Reminder to oneself, Don't become overconfident.
At least you've tried Feather blades mate. I've been too chicken to have a go.
Am waiting for a Wilkinson Sword Sticky to arrive so will give a Feather blade a go then.
It is not a blade that respects poor preparation or technique but with care, the first shave should not be an issue. I do not believe palm stropping or corking will improve the edge but some do it. The razor also makes a difference so another variable in performance.From my personal experience the second with a Feather is the best! hehe The first use of a Feather can be a bit rough, but the second and third are smooth and effective. I've heard/read of palm honing, or corking the blade to smooth it out but I'm afraid to damage the edge.
Going to try a Feather in the Hone 15 tomorrow
