Been trying a Feather blade in my '59 Fatboy this last few days, with great results. So far no irritation, no nicks or slices at all and a good close shave overall. I've heard that Feathers tend to go dull after as little as two shaves, however I've used this blade now for 4 shaves and it's still absolutely fine. I normally see 3 shaves from an Astra SP (my usual blade of choice) or yellow 7 O'Clock before I throw them so this was already looking good for the feathers. This morning I picked up what I thought was the Fatboy but was in fact my Slim adjustable which was loaded with an Astra SP that had been used once. After 3 or 4 swipes I thought it felt so bad and tuggy that I'd better fit a new blade before I nicked myself. Imagine my surprise when I realised my mistake, grabbed the Fatboy/feather and it gave another smooth easy shave (5 so far on this blade now). It was almost as smooth as the first shave too.
Very impressed so far!
