Feather Artist Club ProSuper Razor Blades 20 Count

> 24 hourIve been using a straight razor for shaving for years now. I started with a very cheap razor (the ones that cost like $5 for 100 blades) and while that was a big improvement over a normal razor, I didnt realize the shave could get even better. I purchased these for the first time a few months ago and WOW! I thought my cheap blades were sharp - those are butter knives compared this this!!! The shave is fantastic and irritation free. I use each blade about 4 times before tossing - or 2 sessions (I shave twice per session, one with the grain, one against the grain) and it stays sharp. I have used 6 times a few times but by the 6th time, I can feel the blade dull a bit and I love a sharp blade. They are considerably more than I was paying but it is well worth it. It took me a while to be careful with it b/c the cheaper blades were a bit more forgiving and I used to apply a lot of pressure while shaving. When I used these, its definitely not good to apply a lot of pressure - you just need a feather touch and it works beautifully. Just to get a sense how much better, I did try my cheap straight razor blades one time for kicks and WOW! I realized the cheap blades were NOT shaving anywhere as close and it gave me terrible razor burn. Never again, Im a convert to these blades and while my initial switch to a straight razor was to save money (tired of paying Gillettes extortion for new refills on their n-bladed safety razors) and the cheap blades were so unbelievably cheap, Im still willing to pay more for these great razors (Still probably come out way ahead dollar wise using these). Also, the built-in used razor disposal system is a great touch. It was always a pain to toss my cheap blades b/c I was worried about someone cutting themselves if I just threw them in our trash can (have dogs that tip over the can once in a while and didnt want them to get cut). You just slip in a blade after its used underneath and its safely put away until youve used all the blades. This is a big plus for safety. I also love the dispenser which makes reloading very simple. My old cheap blade was all manual and was a pain.

> 24 hourBest razors for the Artist Club shavettes - I used to get the regular blades and was afraid of the super but they last for longer shaves and is easy to handle - Perfect for thick coarse hair

> 24 hourIve tried several different brands of blades, but these are the best Ive tried so far. Theyre a little expensive, but for thick beards theyre the only type of blade I use.

> 24 hourThese are very rough to shave with. Also they are not good for more than 2 shaves. I recommend buying Schick Proline P-30 blades instead. They are much better.

> 24 hourFeather blades are incredibly sharp. When using with a shavette, be careful. You would have to be proffesional to get regular/traditional straight razors this sharp. When they are too dull to shave with I glue them to popsicle sticks to make utility knives/box cutters. These blades last much longer and are sharper than regular box cutter blades, even if you can’t shave with them.

> 24 hourI used this tonight in my feather artist club dx, and it amazed me at how sharp it is. Like, absolutely no sound, just right through the hair and sadly skin. This demands respect! The thinness keeps it from functioning in the Ikon El Jefe safety razor since it wiggles around when installed. I know this because I tried it in mine and noticed this. I put a Feather Professional into it and the thickness made it fastened in there without motion. It seems this is most functional in the Feather straight razors, to the point that its just as good as regular straight razors without the stropping.

> 24 hourRazor is very sharp and gives a close shave. However it is not as smooth as I had hoped. For those that want a good combination of sharp and smooth I would recommend the feather artist Pro razor however, for those wanting the closest shave possible with this cartridge loading straight edge razor, I would recommend this feather artist super razor.
