Thread: Feather

I have decided I want to try a Feather SE. Can anyone please help in explaining the different types and any recommendations?

Doe anyone here use a Feather Straight??

I have used the Feather Artist and liked the feel of it as it really does feel like a straight razor. I used the pro blades with it and they are very nice. The only problem I have with the Feather, is that the blades are machine sharp and very unforgiving. I had a hard time shaving without getting nicks and that is after 30 years experience with a regular straight razor.

I used one for a month or so. I really wanted to like it, but it just didn't work for me. It's very sharp but the edge is so smooth it doesn't seem to get much bite on my beard, so it didn't shave very well at all.

Wow, the Feather is tough even for Lynn. Perhaps the old fashon straight really is the way to go.

Ok guys, I have a strop on the way from Tony. Now I'll I need is one or two straights.
