Wanderlust167 said:I've been using my Feather AC SS almost exclusively since receiving it from The Geordie Shaver and have only used the Pro-Guards that he kindly sent with the razor. I've now got to the stage where I can do 2 x WTG without any nicks and get a very good shave from it.
I still have a long way to go before I'm as easy and relaxed about using the Feather as my DE, but I'm curious to see if a) I can use one without cutting myself to bits and b) if there is any difference in the quality of shave.
What do you guys think, is it too early yet?
Wanderlust167 said:Thanks very much Barlines that would be perfect. I was thinking of getting some from Connaughts but couldn't decide whether to get those rather than the Pro-Guards, or even a mixture of both.
I'll let you know how I get on and PM you my address.
UKRob said:Yes, you've obviously got quite a lot of use so go for it. The two blades are in fact exactly the same size as opposed to the mild which is narrower and the Pro Super which is wider - giving less and more blade exposure respectively.
So, the difference betwen pro Guard and Pro is not perhaps so much as you imagine.

That's partially what prompted my question as I wanted to know when it would be safe enough to try the Pros. I have given myself some razor rash since using them but put it down to user error. May have used too much pressure although I'm more wary of this than my DE.

I had seen the blade difference on here a while ago and thought that apart from the stabilisers the Pro guards and Pros were the same. It's good to know that I should be fine trying them out now though.
Judging by other comments I shall avoid both the mild and the super pro, don't think they're for me.

If you have used a straight razor before go straight to the pro's

I haven't used a straight before, hence using the Pro-Guards first. One of the reasons for getting the Feather was because I fancied a straight but knew that I'd just cock up the blade trying to strop or home it!
