Sharp, smooth blades. Review by Luke All my reviews (4)

Overall Rating

As everyone says, these blades are definitely very sharp. They give a smooth, clean shave and I do prefer them over the Merkurs. I have even been able to get a couple of extra shaves more than usual out of these blades.

Best so far. Review by Dumendra All my reviews (0)

Overall Rating

I have tested these feathers, derby & astra's; so far the feathers are in the lead. Sharp (and stay sharp). I dont think I have nicked myself yet (touch wood). Very good (also try the derby's as I cant fault them yet either).

SHARP SHARP SHARP!!!!! Review by Mark All my reviews (0)

Overall Rating

Boy are these sharp blades - absolutely fantastic!

Be very, very, very careful with them though. I cut myself all over the first time I used one. Like the previous reviewer said, let the blade do the work. The Derbys and Wilkinson Swords I've used before just cannot compare. These are the ultimate blade for the ultimate shave!.

the best so far Review by marty All my reviews (0)

Overall Rating

These guys where right got my feather blades and tried them the next morning.these are the sharpest i have ever used.with my tough growth i usually have to go back over my face at least twice not with these for the first time i didn't need to. Just be careful a little to much pressure and they will cut you bad.

Great shave Review by David All my reviews (0)

Overall Rating

Not sure what you blokes are doing to cut yourself up but these give me a great shave every time. I do get a lighter less course covering of stubble so that may be a reason why I get next to no nicks and cuts since I don't have to apply much pressure at all anyway.

So sharp, so smooth. Review by Steve All my reviews (0)

Overall Rating

I've tried almost every blade available and after each and every one I find myself continuously crawling back to feather blades. For me they are without doubt the best. They are very sharp and if used correctly effectively allow a close shave with no drag or razor burn, however these blades are not for everyone, they demand a light touch and may take some getting used to.

Not For Everyone Review by Michael All my reviews (0)

Overall Rating

Everyone raves about these blades. Yes they are sharp as anything, but that doesn't seem to mean everything to my face. I have used feather in 3 razors (including Merkur vision) and each time I am left with cuts, redness and stinging everywhere. With the vision a lot less but still annoying when other blades don't have this effect.

They work amazingly for some people, but not everyone.

Very impressed Review by Sean All my reviews (0)

Overall Rating

Moving to double edge shaving about three months ago I'd read extensively about the legendary Feather sharpness. After trying out the sample pack and a number of blades I settled on Feather blades for their reliable performance.

Not the cheapest blade out there but I get great longevity out of a blade, find it very easy to tell when the blade needs replacing and enjoy a smooth, irritation free shave with Feathers.

Sharp and only 1 pass Review by Matthew All my reviews (0)

Overall Rating

These blades are very, very sharp so not for a beginner and proper preshave in essential. I did not need to apply any pressure and I could feel how sharp the razor was against my skin. I could easily cut through my coarse beard in 1 pass and got a closer shave than I would get in 2 passes with another blade. No nicks, cuts or irritation to speak of.

A sharp blade . . . Review by Aussie All my reviews (0)

Overall Rating

As others have said, these blades are very sharp. They can provide a great shave, the new user just has to get past their reputation.

With all blades, I think it is important to find the right shaving edge for the individuals face. Some prefer very sharp, while others prefer a smoother shave of a mild razor.

The Best Review by Anonymous All my reviews (0)

Overall Rating

Been user Feather blades for two years since I started using a safety razor, once you've got your tecnhnique down pat, these blades -which are all i've ever used - provide and extremely sharp close shave, the first time you use a new blade, barely no pressure at all and the right technique you only pass once , it wont snag on your hairs, but will slice right through! I will never use anything but feathers.

PS the danger is not the sharpness of the blade but actually poor shaving technique combined with these blades.

Super sharp Review by Benjamin Beck All my reviews (0)

Overall Rating

Feather's are super sharp and do provide a super close shave. However, for those with irritation, this can often be too close and provide problems. On the other hand, they do teach you a lot about your technique and whether you are using the right pressure and angle. I will graduate to these eventually

Best by far Review by Oliver All my reviews (0)

Overall Rating

Yep these would have to be my favourite blades. To be honest, I don't even know why - I just know they're better than anything else I've shaved with. Highly recommended.

ON SECOND THOUGHTS Review by Aaron All my reviews (0)

Overall Rating

I tried these blades as part of the sample pack when I first started using a DE razor. Too sharp for me, lots of cuts - I settled on the Dorcos as the best for me. However, the trade-off with a less aggressive blade is that they do drag more. Now that I feel more confident in handling a DE razor (5 months in), I thought I'd give the Feathers another try. I have the advantage of using the (very) adjustable Merkur Vision so I cranked it back a touch from my Dorco setting, and voila! Less drag, and no cuts or irritation. Very happy with this combination now that I know more about what I'm doing!

As sharp as ninja blades. Review by Daniel All my reviews (0)

Overall Rating

These babies are sharp so go easy with them. Don't apply too much pressure, just let the blade do the work. Usually last me about 10-12 shaves per blade which is unbeatable value.

Japanese Quality Review by Andrew Brennan All my reviews (0)

Overall Rating

In much the same way as Pilot Mechanical Pencils (such as the beautiful S20 drafting pencil), Feathers are another high-quality Japan-made instrument. Because these blades are a precision tool, short and slow strokes are the only way to go for a nick-free shave. Preshave preparation is absolutely critical too - personally, I find that I need to 'soak' my face for at least 90 seconds using my favourite shaving cream with a hot face-washer. On a quiet morning, I love listening to the cutting sound that these blades offer - very satisfying!

The Sharpest Out There Review by Ian All my reviews (43)

Overall Rating

These are the sharpest DE blades you'll find. As such they're probably not suited to beginners but that being said, there's a lot of "fear" surround this blade. Don't fear it just treat it with the respect it deserves.

Very sharp! Review by Logan All my reviews (0)

Overall Rating

Perhaps sharper is not always better (well for me anyway). I have not had much success with these blades and the results, while smooth, are less than pretty. Definitely not for a newbie such as me, but I'm willing to give them another shot later on down the track.

Sharp, but not so durable Review by gobland All my reviews (6)

Overall Rating

Definitely sharp initially, but I felt that the edge went off them a little too quickly. I used them about seven times apiece (light beard only) before they felt blunt. Nowhere near as good value as Derby or Astra in my opinion.

If you have a serious beard then you need a serious blade. Review by Matt All my reviews (7)

Overall Rating

Everyone seems a little scared of these baldes like they're going to jump out of the razor and nick you. Not so. They are a super sharp blade, sharper than anything I've used from Astras, Derby's and the Gillette 7oClock yellow.

I recommend these highly.

I'm sure there's a reason they're called "Feather" - the whole shave you should be reminding yourself "LIght as a feather, light as a feather" and it will help your technique and you'll get a great shave from these.

I use the blade twice, then flip it in the razor and use it twice again and then put in a fresh one. If you buy in bulk it's less than .50¢ a blade so a bit over 11 cents a shave. People get more out of them, but that's plenty for me.

The Number One blade. Review by Stonie All my reviews (15)

Overall Rating

At first I found these to be too sharp and left me with nicks, cuts and razor burn. Turns out it nothing to do with the blade it was my naive technique.
When I was staring out I found that Astra and Red Personas to be the best, still very sharp but not to the point of being overly aggressive.
Now that I have be DE shaving for a while and have my technique down... I am convinced feathers are the best blades, by far the best results once you know learn how to shave with them (Although I do still keep Astras in my regular rotation).
If you have been DE shaving for a while, grab a pack and try them out, you wont be disappointed. If you a bit worried about cuts try Astras or red personas first. (all used with badger brush and Merkur slant bar).

I keep coming back for more... Review by zedaveo

Overall Rating

Well, having worked through a sample pack (with no preconceptions or research), I would have to say that these are by far the best blades I've tried. Now I've seen all the marketing, the reviews and the forum commenting, and it matches perfectly with my oblivious testing in front of the mirror - they give a fantastic shave.

Good blades, but with a caution Review by Anthony All my reviews (5)

Overall Rating

I received these in the sampler pack. Very sharp blades - easily the sharpest brand in the sampler, and they keep their edge. You do, however, have to be careful with them as you can very easily nick yourslf - that's the price you pay for mega-sharp blades! Recommended but not my favourite brand.

Sharp but not durable Review by DEgary

Overall Rating

No question, these are sharp.
But I find that the extra fine edge just doesn't last as as I progress into the shave (my beard is coarse) - these blades lose their sharpness and start to dull relatively quickly.
It's this that causes the nasty nicks as the edge becomes tatty and also as you adjust pressure to compensate.
Having said that, I do shave 2/3 more surface area than most, as I'm a head shaver. Yes, I use a DE to shave my head!!
I've used these in my Merkur Barber Pole and 1960s Gillette Aristocrat (gold adjustable).
Sharpness is important, but so is comfort. Astras for me, definitely my favourite.
Derby's close second if you can put up with the occasional dud.

Great blades! Review by Sish

Overall Rating

I have bene using these blades for close to 2yrs and its been giving me the best, close shave compared to other blades. I am eastern europen with a strong beard so these are fantastic for me. I have used the Mach3s and other fancy blades however these just clog up and not worth it. Awsome, sharp blade that gives a close clean shave! Great price as well.
