Its the second time I have been ordering the feather’s blades.
The are extremely sharp… that means, no taging, no irritation of the skin and amazingly smooth shave!
However every blade is enough for no more than 2 shaves, after the second shave it would start to tag and pull hair and may couse some skin irritation and cuts.
For this price of 50 blades if you shaving 2-3 times a week should be enough for along time!!!!

I’ve tried over a dozen different blades until determining that these are what I will be using the rest of my shaving life! I can’t say that these are for everyone though. These are SHARP! Then again that’s what I prefer and that’s the kind of shave I am after. I don’t have sensitive skin so I have absolutely no issues. These are not for the beginner or unskilled though. Mistakes are not taken lightly with these blades. They will peel off a couple layers of skin and leave deep bloody nicks faster than you can blink in the wrong hands. Until you get down good technique when switching to double edges I would recommend derby’s, swords or gillettes. Though you may have to make another pass. And use a high quality razor! Razorblades are like cars. One size does NOT suite all! These work for me because I have very thick hair and stubble that will give me the finger if I try to hack at it with anything but the sharpest blades to separate them from my face. If you don’t have thick stubble or have sensitive skin then you can surely get away with a high quality Derby blade. They are also a couple bucks cheaper as well. Many of my friends use Derby’s and love ’em! Me, I just need something with more ‘horsepower’! My second best that I would recommend against these and for anyone shopping for that perfect blade would be the Astra’s. They also work great but don’t seem to be as sharp… or maybe it’s just the way they are made or angled. Astra’s have that certain ‘feel’ that works for many. Don’t get me wrong, Astra’s are also very sharp. Just not quite ‘feather’ sharp. Only thing with them is they have a little extra wax on the wrappings. These feather blades have some but not as much. That’s one thing I wish they would do… get rid of or make a line w/o wax. Not that big a deal, just adds a minute or two to the clean up of your razor. I can deal with that negligible detail for the performance that these things have. If you are looking for the absolute sharpest blades you can stick in your razor, then Feather’s are where it’s at! I just wish they would make blades for utility (box cutter) tools. I would buy a 100 on the spot!

Quite simply the sharpest blades out there. However that does not necessarily mean that they are the best for you. That is influenced to a great extent by other factors such as skin and beard type and what you are looking to achieve (a clean shave, duh but there is more to it – I’ll get to it in a minute). As far as beard type is concerned, I have a very thick and fast growth so a super sharp blade like this one was great for me. A close shave every time with minimal effort needed. However that was till the time I was clean shaving my entire face.
After close to a year of doing just that, I decided to grow a beard (the full facial variety, not a goatee or chin strap). My use for a razor thus changed from full face duty to just cleaning up the neck and upper cheek areas from time to time. For this kind of precision shaving, a blade as thin and sharp as these Feathers is far from ideal. Many nicks and cuts ensued. I needed something where I could put some pressure on the blade, in order to get the beard’s lines neat and even, without getting a cut. This isn’t really necessary when you’re shaving your entire face because you don’t really care where the blade is going so long as it stays on your face and isn’t careening towards your eyebrows or nipple or anything. However when half your face is covered by your beard, short tightly controlled movements are key.
So all in all, an excellent blade and definitely my blade of choice for a clean shave but avoid for more detailed and/or precise applications (still talking about facial hair here).

Bought these to use with my Merkur safety razor, after getting sick of expensive cartridge razors. I’ll never go back to my 3,4,5,6,7 ect blade cartridges. A 50 pack lasted me a year so far, after changing blades after 3-4 shaves. Way sharper than cartridges and much more economical.

once u use it you won’t use any other brand-have tons of other brand(even the so called German ones) that I never use. and on my rough beard keeps sharpness longer than any other blade including Gillette. that makes it the least expensive u can get. other brands I can only use once and aren’t nearly as sharp

I’ve now been wet shaving for almost four years, and in that time I’ve methodically used a lot of products and combinations. In terms of blades, the only true standout has been the Feather. Perhaps some shavers won’t see a huge difference between a Feather and, say, an Astra, but for me, the Feather is the only blade worth using. I just sold off the last of my unused razors from other manufacturers, since I could no longer justify hundreds of future shaves with clearly inferior blades.
If you have really sensitive skin and find against-the-grain shaving almost torturous, then you’d likely find Feathers eliminate or greatly reduce your irritation. And if you head shave, you’ll quickly see how inferior other blades are. The difference between a Personna and a Feather for the task of head shaving is enormous. Sure, you can get almost any other brand for half the price, but cost per unit is minuscule, and I’d almost bet you can get twice as many shaves from a Feather as most other less expensive blades. So it’s a wash. You’re just sacrificing comfort for no reason by using anything else. That’s my opinion.
FWIW, I haven’t used Polsilver or KAI, and I’ve heard they’re both terrific and perhaps comparable to Feather in overall performance. But these seem to be priced even higher than Feathers. And having used almost 150 Feathers, I’m quite certain the delta between a Feather and anything that might be deemed better is “in the noise.” The Feather just has incredible sharpness, *and* it retains its sharpness much longer than anything else I’ve used. That’s a challenging combination of characteristics for an edge.
One more super secret before I leave y’all: You can get a bunch of Arko sticks for peanuts. Take one and smoosh it into an old soap container, like maybe even one of those old Proraso soap tubs you kept, eh? It’ll mold right in, just like it came from the factory. Stays put. And Arko is a terrific soap for a fraction of the price of Proraso (also a fantastic shave soap). I see no reason to try any more soaps, popular or boutique. The Arko stuff does it all, and it’s almost surely the price leader when you purchase six or more sticks at a time.

This is a review for wet shaving with DE.
I remember how exited I was when I had to start shaving, felt like a grown man, until shaving became a small bane in my existence. I have the trifecta coarse beard, it grows quickly, and very sensitive skin. For different reasons I never grew my beard and shaving was a hateful chore, ingrown hairs and shave burn were very common and if I did anything that involved sweating it was worse very itchy also.
Today is my third week wet shaving with a DE Razor and I have 0 irritation. Using a good lather with my new DE Razor and brush has made shaving a complete joy. This Feather blade is awesome I had never used a DE Razor before, but got an adjustable one and have had 0 problems. I use one blade a week and shave twice. Probably could use it more, but having a sharp blade helps a lot with my sensitive skin and coarse hair and also since they are way cheaper than cartridges it’s not a problem. I love the fact that each box has a slot to dispose of the used blades. So you can throw away the box once the blades are used up.
I am by no means an expert on wet shaving but if you have sensitive skin, buy one now along with a brush and a good shaving soap.

Great blades that are well priced, quick shipping.

I don’t know if it’s because of my beard type but back when I used disposable razors like Gillette ProFusion Glide, I would have to replace it every 2 weeks while shaving nowhere good as these Feather blades. I feel like I’m insulting these wonderful blades mentioning Gillette.
I used only one blade for over a month now and it’s still shaving smoothly and well. At this rate, I don’t even know when I’m gonna ever need to buy another. I don’t even know when I’ll ever need to buy another set of 50 again. As much as I wanna support this company, I have no reason to overstock on them when just one blade does more than 3 top disposable blades. So I decided to support them by expressing my fabulous experience with these quality blades with everyone out there.
These are supposedly the most expensive DE blade brand out there and it’s pennies compared to disposables I used to buy. I have used Astra, Feather, Super, Personna and Feather is by far my favorite. Everyone will have different opinion because they have different blade types. But since Feather is so sharp, you will have to be cautious when the blade is brand new. I’ve used one blade for over a month and even it’s dull status shaves better than any disposables I can think of. Astra is great but after 2-3 weeks, I would still have to replace it since its dullness wont’ shave effectively but not with these Feather blades. They lasted roughly 6 weeks now and still shaves smoothly.
I’m not a shave expert or enthusiast but for me to say this when using Vikings Safety Razor paired with Feather and getting great results, For anyone who have better razor than Vikings Safety Razor, such as Merkur Future, etc, you’ll definitely love it. My friend who has Merkur Futur, I gave him one blade and he’s loving it more than me.
