I Love the Feathers



This is my first Feather in my new Schick Krona razor after its fifth shave. I have been hesitant to try the Feathers because of their reputation for being crazy sharp, but last month I broke down and ordered 10. I had to wait for December to try them because of NOVember. Well, I am super happy with this blade. I have had no nicks, cuts, or irritation. In fact, I have next to no feedback with my alum block or after shave. I guess my next step will be ordering 100. What do I do with all my other blades now? Well, they are not that bad, just not as good as the Feather.



I think I will use the Feather for December and just try it out in different razors. January is going to be injector month for me.

How Many Times Have I Used This Blade?

The die is used to keep track of how many times the blade has been used. So, this blade has been used twice. I read about this idea a long time ago. The  subject came up of how to keep track of blade usage, and I remembered this. I went looking all over and finally found a die to make the photo. My goal is to use a blade 7 shaves unless it has issues. Then, I will just toss it and start over. For now, I will use the die to keep track of my shaves.
