Author: Ian Cryer A feather blade and my Mercur Futur I got my best shave ever. One pass with the grain, one pass across the grain and one pass against - WOW! My skin was so smooth, the shave has lasted 4 days so far, I'll be having another go tonight. There was no slight pulling when shaving against the grain that I'd experienced previously. Recommended, but very, very sharp - be careful.
Author: Alan Shaw thanks to shaving shack for now stocking feather blades which i have always wanted to try i was not dissapointed the conbination of my vision 2000 and feather blade gave me the smoothest shave ever i can recomend them to any commited d e shaver THANKS SHAVING SHACK
Author: Gurinder Kular I was expecting these blades to be sharp but they surpassed all my expectations. I had probably the closest and smoothest shave with the least amount of strokes ever. It was hot knife through butter stuff. I didnt cut myself once and it tackled the sensitive neck area extremeley well. I dont know why anyone would want a vibrating 5 blade razor that is an absolute rip off. These are 2.99 and i'm sure i will get around 30 plus shaves.
Author: Edward Cracknell Treat these blades with care and you will get the smoothest and most comfortable shave in you life. For me they provide a good 5 to 6 shaves easy, properly more but I don't want to push my luck. At 2.99 they me be more expensive than the competition, but i bet you would not regret it. Any way at that price its a bargain compared to the £5+ for just 5 cartridge razors.
Author: Will Wheatcroft I had been looking at these Japanese wonders for a while, before I plucked up the courage to try them. After all, Feather blades are as sharp as a traditionally crafted samurai sword, according to the hype. I bought a few packs to keep me going and I have not looked back since. They are the only blade I use now. You will not find a sharper, better made blade. Yes they are more expensive than the Israeli or Merkur blades but you'll know why as soon as you have your first shave with one. I have a Merkur 38C and these Japanese blades are the perfect partner for it. Add a Kent AP12 brush and some Mitchell's Wool Fat soap (available from the guys here!) and you will struggle to get a better shave, even if you go to a professional barber shop! Take your time using these Feather blades (30 minutes plus for a really careful. close shave!) and you will notice the difference. Rush it, and you will bleed...profusely! You have been warned!
Author: N B Panikker I've been using these for a fortnight now in my Merkur 38c and have stopped wondering which blades to use. I was slightly apprehensive because of their much-vaunted sharpness but, now that I'm more relaxed about them, I'm routinely getting no nicks at all. 1-2 passes give an excellent fuss-free close shave. Slightly more expensive than the others but most definitely worth it.
Author: Ade Manning Going to have to buck the trend here and say that after using one of these, I prefer the Israeli blades. Used a Feather blade twice and had more cuts than in the last 12 months even when using lightly as per my daily routine. I'm trying a fresh blade tomorrow and will see how it goes. It is possible of course that they are superb, and my skin is a little too sensitive for them...er...hey! Isn't rugby great?!
Author: Tim Knight Brilliant blades work for 4-5 shaves for me and give a sublime close shave far better than the mach 3 razors excellent service for the website aswell. Will buy again as it is excellent value!
Author: Mat These are fantastic blades.
In the past I've used both Derby and Israeli blades with my Gillette Super Speed. But these are noticeably different. They've given me my closest ever shave and not a single nick! The first time I used a Feather, I couldn't stop touching my face - it was smoother than I've ever felt!
Yes, they are slightly more expensive, but definitely worth it - your face will thank you!
Author: Timothy Allen Tried these after years of using a certain "5 blade brand" OMG they are sharp. Took 2 weeks to get used to how to shave with these and a few cuts as well. But the shave was fantastic. It was slow close that I could easily only have to shave once every 2 days. These are all I use now. A good razor Merkur decent brush and cream and the results are amazing. If you are thinking of going down this route using the above you won't be disappointed!
Author: CaptainH Marvellous blades! I received a gift pack of these with a recent order (thanks Shaving Shack guys!) and gave them a try. Wow. It's the only word that sums up the immediate difference I noticed. These blades are far sharper than my old Merkur blades with no tugging whatsoever. I have a fairly stiff growth and no other DE blade gives me as close a shave as these. They are the only DE blades I have tried that get anywhere close to a straight razor smoothness.
I use with my travel setup when I can't take my straight: T&H pre-shave oil, Mitchell's Woolfat Soap, razor and best badger brush from D.R. Harris, alum block and Geo. T Trumper Skin Food. Smooth.
Author: Jason Haigh I chose these blades as a free gift (purchased parker 98R) and cannot believe their sharpness. I have now had 3 shaves (just using one side of the blade so far and shaving every other day) and it still shaves well - these blades will last a long time - far long than the 5 blade gillette cartridges I have been using. Highly recommended and worth the price. Have ordered some Derby blades so will be interested to see if they match up to the feather ones. Looks like I may have been spoilt with the best ones from day one so lets wait and see.
Author: Carl Pollington I've tried about 20 different blades from tens of manufacturers from around the world and these are the best in my opinion.
They have the greatest reputation and with good reason - nothing I've tried is as smooth or as close. They seem to glide through several days' worth of stubble as though it wasn't there and if you don't rush the shave you won't get on their wrong side! For a careful shaver these cannot be beaten.
What's more, I've searched high and low and Shaving Shack's price is the lowest I've found, particularly when you buy them as a 3-pack. I always claim one pack as my free gift for spending over £10... am even tempted to spend £10 on Feathers and claim another pack free - it is worth it!!!!
