Thread: Feather w/disposable wire mesh blades ??

I guess I've been living under a rock somewhere... ... when did Feather announce this? I saw it advertised on one of the google ads that caught my eye this morning.

What exactly is a "wire mesh" blade? I think their statement was something like... "The thin wire mesh that is a part of the blade is remarkable in it's ability to shave while providing an element of safety that an exposed blade can't"

And it was only $50... half the price of an Artist Club model?

Joe, I believe they're talking about Pro Guard blades for the AC.

Sounds like the pro-guard blade. They've been around awhile. Classic's down right now, but I think they're $15/20, a little more expensive than the pros or super pros.

hmmm... checked the JATAI site (US Feather distributor ?)... looks like something more suitable to trimming around the ears, neck, maybe mustache area.

Joe-
You're correct - the razor that you linked to is for trimming necks, etc. Feather also makes a line of wire-guarded blades (called Pro-Guards) for the Artist Club razor line, which, as I'm sure you are aware, is their replaceable blade straight razor for face shaving.

The thing that got me off track was that the original ad I saw implied the razor was useful as an alternative to the Artist club... upon further investigation, clearly it's not. And the blade picture made it look like a comb razor... I'm still confused by that.

Feather does make a razor comb for doing razor cut hair styles for women. You may have seen that and thought it was a straight. Ive seen them for about 40-50 on EBAY...

When I was researching feathers (originally wanted one) I ran into this balde also. It's meant for hair shaping as done by a barber. there is one site that claims that some people use it as a starter, but i'm not sure if that is truthful.

I wasn't referring to their products for razor cutting hair. I was talking about the products I referenced in my earlier post (http://straightrazorpalace.com/showp...28&postcount=4)

They're calling it a "Nape and Body Razor". As I (now) understand it, this is a small (ie, shorter) razor which uses a blade similar to the pro guard blade for the Artist Club. But their picture of the refill blade is confusing, at best.
