Hmmm! , Not a very good start to the day!
I have wanted to try the Feather Light Blade in a particular Unmentionable for a while now to try to tame it a little, @7.4mm wide - 0.6mm less of the blade is exposed from the head compared to a Pro. I decided to try it in a less aggressive unmentionable 1st - Big mistake.
To get the blade onto the stubble requires the razor to be at a very open angle and this, i feel, pulls at the hair instead of slicing through it giving the feeling of a prickly, blunt blade, not smooth at all even if it did cut the stubble.
I abandoned the shave mid 1st pass and finished with the wonderful sub.
I will give the FLB a run out in the intended unmentionable as the head geometry is less forgiving.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all
