It was definitely not the best of shaving experiences this morning. A wonderful lather created by the LPL and Simpson persuaded me to the reach for the Feather AC SS equipped with a brand new Feather Professional blade. All went well at first, down the cheeks, with the grain, using both right and left hand, the razor felt much sharper than with the Proguard, just as @Scotshave had said, and much less catchy as a result. Then I got to the goatee area and four cuts in quick succession hinted that I should stop. The one on the jawline was a long one and the one directly under the nose was stinging. I needed the stypic stick. Then, l finished that first pass and the second with the Ikon, which felt magical, smooth and effortless. I used my Bart's Balm to settle the stinging, and it did. The contrast between the two razors could not be more stark, I think I prefer my Feathers guarded, and for now the SS is staying in the cupboard.
