I keep it on 9 all the time.
I recommend buying as many blades as you can when you get the chance, supplies have been dwindling lately.

99% of the time, Absolutely. However I had an old Gillette Twist with a white plastic handle that started crumbling, but the head is still useable so I might make a new handle for it one day

Check for a letter and a number under the head of the razor, the letter indicates the year of production and the number indicates what quarter of the year it was made. Feather is a great choice, it's a bit sharper than what I use (Astra) so maybe it could be used on a lower setting. Be careful when changing the number
