Feather Artist Club SS Wood Folding Straight Razor

This is really an amazing razor ! First of all, it is obviously incredibly sharp and efficient. Assuming you are using the right shaving cream/gel/... , it leaves you with a baby skin, soft and supple. It is extremely light and easy to manipulate; the wooden handle is lighter than the blade part and it feels perfectly balanced. I can now confirm that, in truth, a straight razor is by far superior to anything else you could use. I researched a lot to make my mind on which one to use, this one came at the top and I am not disappointed. Things went well from the first time I shaved, I did not cut myself. But make no mistake, as much as I wasnt particularly worried, once I had this thing in my hand I felt differently. I am not easily impressed but this is one very scary instrument of death for sure. You better be in the moment and pay attention to what you are doing :) The slightest wrong move can quickly end badly. I do not have experience with other razors, but with the shaving cream I was using and this particular razor I felt that there was some margin for error though. Normally you should shave at an angle of 30 degrees from what I understand, but it was fine when I did a bit less or a bit more. I am wearing glasses and I dont see anything without them, so sometimes I wasnt really holding the razor perfectly and I was trying to figure how to handle it best, but things just went fine. As long as you are careful, in the moment and focused, make short strokes and apply minimal pressure with just a finger, youll be fine and the shave will be amazing. Looking forward to become a pro with this thing !

100% recommended, excellent quality.

So Im kind of a moron and didnt realize this was a straight razor with replaceable blades. I actually really like it though, because I dont have to sharpen anything. They sell a variety of Feather brand blades, and the ones I got are the Artist Club Professional blades. Replacing the blades is pretty easy, you just pinch the clip open like you would a clothes hanger, remove the blade, and pop a new one in. The clip is tight enough that the blade doesnt move and that hair doesnt seem to get wedged up between the blade and the clip (which would be gross). It gives you a really close shave and I found it was really easy to use on my neck and cheeks. I have a short beard and used it to clean up around it, and it was pretty perfect for that. I cut myself up a bunch but remember: Im a moron. With practice I think it would be pretty easy to use.

Love this blade. Perfect for my beard line up. A side note. I had this blade in my carry on for a flight. Because it was a replaceable blade I was able to throw away the blade and keep my razor. With a fixed blade I’d have to throw it away. That would be an expensive mistake

I bought this razor amongst five others straight razors to swith to straight razor shaving. While not the most expensive, this is the best one for several reasons: 1. I have a large hands and the longer stem on the other side of the blade allows me to hold it correctly with two fingers, allowing for greater control 2. The longer blade shaves larger surface area 3. The holder and blade allows for a great angle that cuts well, easily (without too much experience), and smoothly 4. The switching of blades is easy and painless I dont really have any negatives other than it is kind of expensive for a shavette style razor, but i dont regret it and would buy it again.

I recently began using a single edge razor from Supply, and thought that razor provided a smooth shave -- after years of using cartridge razors. But after using this razor, with ProGuard blades, I now know the true meaning of smooth. Yes, as careful as I was, I ended up with a few nicks/weepers. I didnt even feel the cuts. Remember to use a very steep angle when using this.

no razor added?.... amazing handle, has weight that makes you feel satisfied with every shave.

Really get a good shave. Feels good in the hand and looks great too. The spring hold on the blade is strong yet its easy to replace as needed. Theres only one angle I had to avoid so as not to get bit by the square edge of a blade, but that beats other brands where you have a LOT of issues with the square edge. Overall highly recommend.

Feather is awesome, I use the professional line blades

Years ago, this razor caught my eye, how could it not be made by ( feather)!! But I used to go to the classic razors (despite the tiring of maintaining them) and sometimes the results were bad!!! Finally I decided to get one and indeed the results were beyond expectation, amazing, and I got a clean and smooth shave as it should be. Unfortunately I was late to getting it!!
