My Feather clone arrived from AliExpress today so I thought I'd give it a whirl. Wasn't sure how much of my face would remain afterwards but turns out the technique for shavette shaving seems quite transferable.

First note must be the difference in cutting power. Even the sharpest half DE blade doesn't compete and against 2.5 days growth this #4 ProGuard was brutal. It really helps around the curve of the chin though. Lips and nose clear the same but the overall finish is so much closer.

Would I use this blade all the time? Not sure. I think my comfort level may lie somewhere down the sharpness scale but where that is I'm not sure yet.

Kind thanks to @Estariol for finding the clone for me. It seems very well made and simple in function although I did drop a clanger by accidentally buying the all black one whilst trying to get a silvery one.

Enjoy your evening.
