The difference is clearly Allerding to notice and to look at the Feather as global gold standard for me the reason and to use any other blade more. It is true that the Feather not the same cutting performance (durability) has the blue Astras and is significantly more expensive, even if it gets like this with foreign suppliers such Shaving factory in 100er luggage for under 30.
The thoroughness with which the Feather is the charge allows a shave but all male worth. Moreover, I see the purpose of razor blades not in it, to use it until the last breath. Razor blades are designed as a disposable product. Who wants to shave even as it would do when a barber, eh uses each blade side only once. At the hairdresser that is also like that. So you always have a sharp blade. And even if the blue Astras their sharpness constant holding, they are in the first use of a blade side never ever be as sharp as a Feather.
Even then, each side of the blade is 2-3 MMN loosely times usable without watching the Astras at her. So if you shave every two to three days and used each blade side only once, has up to 3 years is always a stock of Creme de la Creme of all blades in the bath cabinet.
Note: The Feather is not only admired for its sharpness, but also feared. There are plenty of them as too aggressive call despite their thoroughness for sensitive skin. I think the fear is excessive, provided to shave as it should be and uses Quali-shaving like the MWF or at least Proraso.
