Feather blades are great, but for anyone reading this who thinks about switching to a safety razor from cartridges or electrical ones: Don’t start out with them, they are really unforgiving even for safety razor standards in how easy it is to cut yourself.
- wolfgang42 6y agoWhen I switched to a safety razor I bought a sampler pack of different brands of blades. The Feather blades felt great; there was no grabbing or skipping, I’d just glide the razor across and all the hair would be gone. Then I’d look in the mirror and there’d be blood dripping down my neck. They are so sharp that I wouldn’t feel it at all.
- Polylactic_acid 6y agoI started with feather blades. Cut myself a bunch the first few times. It doesn't really hurt but its just annoying because you don't want blood on your clothes. Eventually looked up a guide and found out I was doing it wrong and now I basically never have issues.
- Semaphor 6y agoYeah, that’s what I meant. Feather aren’t super hard to use, but they are not beginner-friendly. It’s easier to learn with other blades.
