are the feather blades worth the extra money? i get astra blades for like 7 cents per blade. feather blades are like 55 cents per blade are they that much better?
cool i love my astras only issue i have is the corner of my mouth. it may be my cheap razorAstras are way smoother. The feather blades are sharper but it seems like they are inconsistent and if you have any roughness to your beard you are probably going to experience some pulling with the feather blades. Makes no sense because some of them you will get 3-4 really good shaves out of and some of them will nick and tug on the first shave. When they are good, they are really good. If you like the astra and it gets you a decently close shave I'd stick with them honestly because you may just get disappointed. (Unless things have changed the last few years, don't use safety blades anymore)
Edit to add: blades are very very dependent on each persons beard and face. For me the feather blades don't do anything so much better than astra to warrant the extra cost.
Mach3. Worth the cost. No cuts, ever.
