Thread: Why shaving with the featherlite blade is the better than the rest

Hi guys! I know I am going to provoke a reaction to this, but I have to say it: Shaving with the Feather artist club Disposable straight razor is BETTER than non disposable blades. Here are the reasons: First, I think that learning on the Featherlite as I have done is the best possible thing you can do. There are simply no sharper blades then the FeatherClubs. I haven't come across any non disposable blade that is nearly as sharp. If you can master shaving with the Feather club(which I don't think I can honestly say that I have), then anything else is child's play. So, for the pure ART of the shave, I think that the Feather artist club master is the true artist. THUSLY, he is more BAD ASS, and let's face it: most of us shave with Straight razors because it is manly as hell, and there is a sad sad lack of manliness in the world today. Next, I would add that the razor itself is pure art in its design. It is perfectly designed to adapt to every person's individual style and do it well, it's balance is perfect, and its light weight is excellent. I have read a ton of posts where people say "it just seems flimsy" or "there seems like there is nothing there." Like this is a BAD Thing??! It is SUPPOSED to be light, the "flimsiness" is actually an extremely fine edge, for the closest shave possible. Thusly, you get a closer shave, another reason. Finally, no stropping.. Yes yes, I know the purests claim to "love to strop" but Come on, the manliness and art of shaving begins and ends with the shave itself, stropping is just extra busiwork, time I'd rather spend on something else, like learning to master the Featherlite!!


Agree? Disagree? Why? (full disclosure, I am thinking of having a custom Zowata straight designed as a keepsake)

Also, for those who don't know what kind of straight razor I am talking about I have attached a link to a picture: http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.c...op_2037_250410
