Same here, bought a luxury safety razor for €79 with 50 blades. Alas, it's adjustable and that mechanic failed. Got a gilette version from the 60s and that's stoll fully functional, but the new one (qshave) is heavier and nicer to use. Bought a 20 pack of 10pc feather blades with it as well, 14 packs left. (280 weeks of shaving)
The type of razor is working out greatly, I just need to find a way to repair the qshave unit.
This is a tangent, but I agree that Feather blades are the best.
I think Feather is definitely one of the best, from what I've heard; I've also heard...maybe it's too friggin sharp. I do not know from personal experience!!
I've been using Shark blades instead, they're very available & super cheap. You can get 100 Shark DE razor blades for $10, 11 & free shipping.
Do what you want, I do not care, it's all so cheap & available imho we can't really make a "wrong" choice. Feather, Shark, all good. 🤙🏻 Sometime soon I'll get on that wet shaving sub & talk about good safety razors...I, too, have vintage Gillette (Fatboy Slim) & German brand Merkur. Hell might cross-post the Merkur into BIFL.
Feather are awesome, I never could get the same shave with any of the others I tried.
