    Yanno, I am going out on a limb here and recommending your next shave(s) should be with a Feather.

    Sure, Feather blades are almost universally accepted as the blade on the sharp end of the spectrum... But on the other hand, the Feather blades will force you to develop good technique, or bleed trying, regardless of the other gear you are using.

    You mean that he's actively encouraging blood sacrifice?

    Personnas are some of the sharper blades that you can buy. They arent quite Feather sharp but they arent far off. What you could try is something from the Gillette 7 O'Clock series or some Gillette Silver Blues. I find them to be a bit milder than Personnas but sharper than Merkurs, Muhles or Wilkinson Swords.
    I love Personna Lab Blues but you have to respect them. If you dont have good technique and some experience, you might want to stay away from them for now.

    I believe I've tried those. You can usually find them for a couple of bucs...

    Depends on if they show a Marque. If then, privateer; though that sounds less menacing.
