This won't work, because when you mix half-transparent pixels with half-transparent pixels, you're getting half transparent pixels: if two pixels have, say, 50% opacity, the resulting merge will be 75% opacity, not 100%.
The only way to avoid this but still get the feather that comes to my mind is to have your blur applied as a post-action: which might be ...

To clean someone's portrait image we apply Gaussian Blur to the image as a special form of low pass filtering and ...

I am pretty sure there are many ways one could go about this. One method is to use narrow ellipses filled with a gradient. These are all the same ellipse copied and pasted multiple times, some narrower and some wider, and some I edited by moving the red stop so it comes further up the ellipse. Everything is then cropped by using a clipping mask over a black ...
