I have received mine last week and shaved with the Feather pro and pro super last few days. Found those two to be too aggressive for me. I tried the feather proguard this morning and while it was mild, I received a bit less weepers as the others, but it wasn't a BBS as the others. I got a DFS and missed some whiskers in some areas. I believe I can't maneuver the razor due to its big head size around the curvatures around my face. However, it is much more efficient and aggressive than the Mongoose IMO. I may try the captain Titan mild next as Hector had said. I have a very coarse beard but with a sensitive skin.

Mine arrived Saturday. A few small nits to pick. First, I cannot get over how thin that freaking bamboo handle is. It just doesn't fit well in my fingers. Also, with the rounded head, so far I am having more difficulty than expected maintaining the perfect cutting angle. While I have had zero weepers, I am getting nicks now and then. I am going to have to try this with a real handle.

That's what I did, bamboo handle out, 100mm Triad Aristocrat in! Big difference!

Yeah, I put my Cooncat Bob handle with the heavier magnetic base on it. I will see how that helps. It seems much more balanced now.

Shaved with mine for two weeks now. Love the weight, love the head design, love the handle and am getting the best shaves out of it vs. any other razor I own in its class and really its one of the best shavers I own. No cuts, no weepers, I believe the design of the handle facilitates a light touch which provides an excellent three pass shave. Light grasp with the fingertips. BBS with this type of razor is always a given for me on the upper face, the neck is the area most SE's struggle for me. The ATT SE has given me BBS on the neck with no irritation and again I think it has a lot to do with the handle. I use Feather Pro Supers.

My Supply Company SE is supposed to arrive today. We'll see how it performs.

I am unsure if anyone has tried this yet, but if not, I hope this helps. I wanted to revisit the Feather pro blade because it gave me a BBS shave with less irritation than the pro super. I wanted to try and shave with a very steep angle of the blade (handle almost parallel to the face, just to be clear). This idea was inspired by watching Eric Burgos's, aka Uncle Dubya, video of him shaving with the Blackbird. I started thinking, maybe this wasn't meant to be shaved in the traditional 30 degrees like normal DE razors...so I decided to shave with the handle as parallel as possible......WHAT A SUCCESS! I did not receive any weepers, nicks, cuts, irritation, etc. just BBS in the areas I was able to successfully shave. The downside is not able to maneuver the razor are under the curvatures of my face like a smaller DE razor head. I will have to get used to that and may have to do some touch ups around those troubled areas, mainly being under my chin. I can't wait to try the pro super again!

I hope others can find this useful. Thanks for always sharing!
