Thanked: 0Feather Artist differences DX or RG.
Can someone explain the difference between the Feather Artist Club RG and DX? I realize one is stainless steel and the other is brass, but why would that matter to me? The seller doesn't explain the advantages of the more expensive material and I thought someone here might be able to. I was considering acquiring one although I could use some advice as to which.
FWIW, my current shaving supplies consist of the following:
Genco "Expert" Full hollow 4/8, bone handle, square point
Boker "Extra Hollow Ground" 5/8, black handle, smiling blade, barber's notch
G. Wostenholm "Pipe Razor" Wedge, horn handle, square point
All 3 have been professionally honed.
Of these, my favorite shaver is the Genco. I shave with the other two, they're very attractive looking top quality razors, but I prefer the Genco hands down. It also happens to be the sharpest razor I own, the blade could be classified as a "singing" blade, as it makes a nice ringing sound when plucked. When viewed from the edge it's almost a straight line all the way to the spine. I am also consistently amazed at the shaves I get from a Dovo Shavette I own, but it is admittedly very cheaply made and sorta flimsy and a little scary because of it. I think the Feather AC would be a welcome replacement for it. I have been shaving with straights for 1 year.
Thanks,
