Thread: Finally I am over the Feather Artist SS

Over the last two years I've been shaving almost exclusively with the Feather Artist SS. On occasions I would use DE. The Feather is incredibly sharp but the not the smoothest. Shortly after I got the Feather I ventured into the real straights getting couple of decent DOVOs. I could not continue with them as I was getting far superior shaves with the Artist SS. Time went by and I thought that I would like to try the real straits again. I simply love everything about the concept. This time I got the following (and more to come):

Tim Zowada Carbon Series 11/16 with Honduran Rosewood. It shaves unbelievably smooth. To say that it is a pleasure to use is an understatement. Then there is the 7/8 Hart Steel honed by Tim's son Nate. Awesome shaver, perhaps not as smooth as Tim's. Next is Max Sprecher restoration of 7/8 Frederic Reynolds (via great member in Belgium). That's a near wedge classic that is simply great treat.

Of course by now the RAD is in full swing and I still have coming NOS Heljestrand MK32 and Filarmonica 14 Doble Temple JMP. In addition I ordered a full custom from Ulrik Beyer. That will be 7/8, 1/4 Hollow French point. Still undecided on scales.
