Feeling a bit tired tonight, so didn't bother with the Feather as I couldn't summon the concentration required.
Have to say it was a bit of an epiphany. The above combo delivered such a superb shave (this Hoffritz head is something special) that I honestly don't think anything could have bettered it.
Therefore, I'm not sure if the Feather is suited to me. If I can get such a superb shave with such a low risk of badly cutting myself, why bother with the Feather?
I shall give it some thought over the next few days, but my Feather could be appearing on the BST shortly!

Nice and comfortable after a couple of rough shaves woth the Feather SS. The R89 is excellent and I think it's improved by the heavier Weber handle. BBS results.

Pulled the Feather out a day earlier than the rotation would have to deal with three days of growth. Fast, effortless, comfortable, and uberclean.

First time trying these old UK made blades sent out by Jamie to sample. He thought they were good ones and he was right. Smooth, sharp, and forgiving. Very nice! Thanks buddy.
