I tried those Japanese Feather blades the other day. Not for me at all, they ripped me to shreds. Far worse than the standard Wilkinson Sword I had before
Maybe it's the razor I have them on. A Barney's DE
Yes and no. I have a Feather Popular razor (the plastic £8 one off Ebay everyone should start with) and the angle is very "safe". As such it makes the use of their sharp blades much more friendlier.
Different razors definitely make a difference to how the blades feel. The plastic wilkinson sword one is very unagressive(?) for instance. The Merkur travel one I have is a little more aggressive than my standard merkur one I own.
