Anytime I have ever tried one I get two great shaves, but the edge becomes harsh after the WTG pass on the 3rd shave and I have to change blades to finish the shave. Nacet blades are nearly as sharp and seem to last a few shaves longer.Well I don't keep a blade around for very long anyway, usually.
The only way I can use Feather blades is to dedicate them to a milder razor for use on ATG and clean-up passes where the limited contact with stubble will allow the blades to last longer. They just do not withstand multiple WTG passses, especially with multi-day beard growth and a tough beard.
I think this feather has maybe the three shaves on it so use it or bank it either way I'm okay.
I'm not too good to take a blade out during the shave and swapping up to another one.
In fact I kind of like doing that, haha.
Nacet is a good blade for me in a lot of razors.
