Feathers are made by a Japanese surgical tool company. They are considered by many to be the sharpest blade you can purchase.
That said, practice with Merkur or Derby's before you graduate to feathers.
I bought the Derbys on Amazon as well (100 pack for 15 bucks! Two year supply, basically, instead of a stretched 2 month supply for 30 dollar Gillettes) but I have to say I prefer the feeling of the Merkurs. Still, the price is right for the Derbys, though I do want to try feathers in the future.
