I don't use feather blades very much as I have found them rough although sharp but if I was a regular user of these blades it would drive me mad if the quality was so inconsistent, not knowing if I was to be getting a good shave or maybe the chance of getting lucky. If you have had so many duff blades a normal one would seem magical and knowing that the next one may be a duff one it's no wonder you would want this " magical blade " to go on forever!I have had quite a few disappointments with some Feather blades recently due to inconsistent quality.
Then unexpectidly I find a blade which gives me the best shave I have ever had and just wish it would go on forever. A kind of magic blade in an otherwise duff box.
Anyone else or am alone and just being stupid?
Ps. I can live with stupid......or so my wife tells me
Not cheap but my DE blade of choice is the Polsilver from the old Lodz factory in Poland, no longer in production but you can still buy them from Shaving ie, wonderful blades!I can certainly see the logic in you reply. May be time to try something else.
Any alternatives where magic is a regular experience?
Astra SP's
I've never had a duff one
Personna Blue
Consistent quality
Voskhod
Never let you down

Couldn't agree more on the 80+ different recommendations.
After colognes, blades are the most subjective items in the shaving world.
For me, Gillette Rubies are the absolute best blade. They feel like i'm shaving with silk.
Polsilvers & Gillette Silver Blue come a close 2nd equal. Notice that they're all made in the same factory in St Petersburg.
Conversly, anything made in the factory in Moscow is as rough as anything. I've tried Rapira SSS & Platinum Lux and Voskhods - all awful.
We're all different & that's what makes all this so interesting.
Happy shaving.
