Just switched to feather blades. Really smooth close shave for ONE shave then I have to change blades. And I get razor burn at the base of my neck (but that's every blade so far. Think it's technique and cream). Is that normal for feather blades. Also, does non-can cream or soap help that much?

As far as technique is concerned, do the opposite of what you're doing. If your first pass on your neck is down, make it up. If you do three passes, do two of the less-irritating one and ONE of the one that is irritating if. I actually shave up (traditionally though of (by me) as "against the grain"), up, and then down.

And soap is definitely the better route to go. I absolutely makes a difference in my opinion. I also use an alum block and this. I can't tell you the last time I had problems with razor burn.
