Yeah I get #dickmove of the day. Had an interview today. Amazing shave beforehand with Jack Black (1st usage). Really feeling it. Amazing. Not only did I lose track of time, but I managed to get a nice slice down the left side of my face. Awesome. Still did well in the interview and am invited back for round 2 tomorrow. Might scale back from Feather for a little.
Fucking loving the entire setup tho. Thank you all!

Not yet, but will likely/need to get one.
Second round today and I nicked myself again within .25" of the initial nick. I've been called in for round #3! tomorrow. If I nick myself again I'm going to be well pissed.
Up until now I've never cut myself shaving, well as far back as I can remember. I was willing to try it out and wear a few cuts to see if it was going to be used or not. Turns out it appears it's going to get some usage.
Still on the Feather's don't wish to waste the blade. Fingers crossed for a clean-non-nicked-shave tomorrow

Sometimes the blades need a "break-in" period. Feathers are so sharp that you might find your 3rd or fourth shave with them may be the best. Have you tried Astra platinum blades yet? They are my personal favorite. My skin couldn't deal with Feather blades.
Good luck with your interview!

When I shave and am not using a straight edge I use feathers. I love them but, seawolf is correct shaved 4-12 will be your best the blades are very aggressive and need to be broken in.

I can second that, Astra blades work for me, never nicked myself with them, tried the Feather's once as part of a sample, but sliced myself on the first outing.
I'm planning to buy a Dovo straight edge razor once they come back in stock (the Skyfall effect apparently!), as I'm really curious and feel that after 4yrs using a DE razor it shouldn't be that big a step, will post in here once I've taken the plunge!

A trick I find helps with the Feather blades when new is to carefully run both edges across a cork.
This helps take a little of that "first time use, aggressiveness" out of the blade edge. I find it helps get the blade to that sweet spot already mentioned after 3-4 shaves.
Platinum Persona's are another personal favourite, nice and sharp but a bit more forgiving than a feather. A Feather will hunt down any nick or blemish and take the top off it, the Persona is more forgiving.
