Feather New Hi-Stainless Double Edge Blades,10 blades

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.

Supremely Sharp!

Fantastic blade that lasts 5 shaves easily. I got this as part of a sampler pack and have had quite a few shaves with them. I strongly recommend using this with a mild razor and your prep routine should be on-point. I have used it with my more aggressive Parker razor and do tend to get nicked and the skin is a bit tender afterwards. Using my milder Edwin Jagger I have much more success and smoother shaves. Picking up a few more to go with a Feather razor!

Customer review

For me Feathers are the most irritating blade I have ever used. They leave my face covered in weepers and rosy irritation (particularly on my upper lip and my neck). Nacet and Personna med prep have the same kind of sharpness, but are smooth and gentle.
