    Default Fist time with the feather blades............

    Tried the feather blades for the first time. Probably the best shave I have ever had. No cuts , no nicks, no runs and no errors. The sharpness of these blades is for sure, not open to debate. One thing: The blades were independently wrapped , which is a pain in the arse. Almost cut myself just trying to get that damn sticky paper off!:s

    I probably will try others, just for the heck of it, but these really work well. These things are probably the sharpest thing I have ever handled. You can actually feel how sharp they are as you pull the razor across your face. They just WANT to slice. If only I could get my hunting knives this sharp..lol

    I agree that the stickiness of the paper is irritating, but, I have 8 or 10 brand of blades and they all are wrapped in paper, many sticky....which ones aren't wrapped?

    I think nowadays all DE blades are wrapped. AFAIK. In bygone days, when Gillette had the blade dispensers, they weren't wrapped, were very convenient, and a lot safer.

    The Feather is a great blade. Many guys like them even better the second and third shave. They get a bit gentler as they are used.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    my recollection on unwrapped blades and my opinion on Feather as well!

    Feather blades do come in dispensers containing 5 or 10 blades but each blade is still individually wrapped. Seems a little redundant but might be a current safety requirement when shipping, as a guess.

    All the other blades I bought come in a sleeve of sorts.............much easier, and safer than unwrapping a sticky piece of paper from a unholy sharp blade...............
