I would caution any wet shaver purchasing Feather blades to buy from a reputable dealer. I have heard rumors of counterfeit blades on the market, and I am still not entirely sure if the ones I have purchased are the real deal.
I bought this razor several months ago, and it's trial use was today (I had several other razors in my rotation I wanted to break in). I hit the BBS (baby butt smooth) shave today. 10/10.
