Just as I was about to give up on the feather, I put one in a 55 SuperSpeed and got a lovely close shave without nicks or slashes. What a difference a day makes. I thought it would work great in my 49 SS but I kept getting involuntary bleedings. The 49 has worked wonderfully in with every other blade but not the feather. This supports acquisition of more razors !!
Those feather can be fickle involuntary bleedings maker I look forward to SOMEDAY trying a feather again and receiving what you did
Sometimes it is simply a slight difference in blade itself. Sadly blades are never 100% the same from batch to batch. That is why you have to keep on testing. Plus certain blades like Feather require a little more care and some might argue experience to use to their full potential. So you never know!
I thought I sent some in your package..... Should have been both platinum and nonPlatinum blades in there. Lemme know Tom and if I didnt pack them, I'll send some to you ASAP
I have 3 types of Feathers and each and every one shaves differently. However, I noticed that a fresh blades performs much better than a 3-4 shaves old one.
