I personally like the Derby blades I picked up off of Amazon, they still get just as close as anything else I've used, but they somehow feel 'softer' than all the others. Perhaps more forgiving is a better phrase. What's so great about the Feathers?
- pxlpshr 17y agoI second the softer feel, the Feathers seem a lot less stiff than the common merkur blades I was using. They also feel sharper, I think the blade conforms better against my boney face and less irritation. I've been meaning to order this actually, maybe I'll do it today. http://westcoastshaving.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=295 http://westcoastshaving.com/index.php?main_page=product_info...
- Rabidmonkey1 17y agoFeathers are made by a Japanese surgical tool company. They are considered by many to be the sharpest blade you can purchase. That said, practice with Merkur or Derby's before you graduate to feathers. I bought the Derbys on Amazon as well (100 pack for 15 bucks! Two year supply, basically, instead of a stretched 2 month supply for 30 dollar Gillettes) but I have to say I prefer the feeling of the Merkurs. Still, the price is right for the Derbys, though I do want to try feathers in the future.
