Feather New Hi-Stainless Double Edge Blades,10 blades

Sharp and Consistent

Solid week of shaves out of these. First shave is a bit aggressive but follow up shaves are in the sweet spot. I switch out once a week, if I go longer, it will grab me, so I learned to avoid that.

Sharpest blade out there. Good if you prefer an aggressive shave.

Crazy-sharp and a bit of irritation on first shave but afterwards it works very well on my mild razor (Henson AL13 Mild).

Popular for good reason

Extremely sharp razors that give a buttery smooth shave every time. 10/10 customer service from Maggard as well.

Sharp reliable blades, worth the premium

I tried at least a dozen other blades. Feathers get the closest shave with the least irritation for me, by far. My beard is very coarse, so it really prefers a sharper blade. They’re also very consistent in their performance, for the first three shaves. Wilkinson Sword and Gillette Silver Blue were runners up for me. I got many good shaves from them. But they lacked consistency in my experience. Feathers are definitely not the blade for new wet shavers, though. The first time I used a Feather blade, I slashed myself up real good. I suggest using Gillette or Astra blades for a couple months before trying these. Side note on that premium price. Keep in mind, 12 cents per shave is still a steal compared to cartridges.
