The Feemster vs. Veggies

In my search for a mandoline or mandoine-type gadget that isn't overtly bloodthirsty, I ordered the Feemster with a carbon blue steel blade.
I also ordered two different cutting gloves and they wonderfully fit one inside the other on my right hand, so I used them both with and without the safety holder. I know you're only supposed to need one, but I figured what the heck!
I had hoped the Feemster would yield lovely thin-sliced onion rounds, delectably thin ribbons of zucchini, and paper thin almost transparent slices of cucumbers, but no. The cukes were kinda massacred, the onions not so good, but the zukes looked okay--IF i had wanted the slices that thick.
Perhaps it was my technique (esp toward the end slices of the zucchini), perhaps not.
I think I can just do better (overall) with one of my regular knives.
Juuust thought I'd share. Oh, and no blood was shed! Hooray!
Smiles,
