Thanksgiving Eve Sample Shave

The second shaves on these Feather FHS blades are ever so smooth compared to the initial ones.
I'm anxious to see how many uses I can get out of one.  I'm not a huge Stirling fan but wanted to get in some Holiday scents, so first one is Frankincense & Myrrh.  What a BANGER !!  Reminds me of my days as an Altar Boy loading up the Incense burner.  LOL

Do some modify that razor?  As for those blades I rarely get 3 shaves from them.

You can modify the razor - use a Dremel tool and zip off the blade nubs - then it will take a GEM blade.  It can be a bit fiddly to get the blade seated and locked but then it will shave.  I usually have one modified and one un-modified of each type VC2 and VC4.  VC1 is easier - you just modify the GEM blade a bit and it slides right in.
