A package from Japan came with the mailman today, with the help of a member on another forum I was able to buy the SS which currently is sold in Japan only.
It's similar to the other Artist series, but with a different head design. I haven't tried the DX or RG, both those who have tried both, says the SS is more forgiving, and finding the right angle is easier.

Opening the package the first I see is a bonus pack of Feather Pro Guard blades, nice!

Blade loading is super easy, the head is spring-loaded and you just squeeze it at the top and a blade drops right in, also very easy to take apart for cleaning after the shave.

Having used a Parker Shavette before, I was kinda vary, as I know how they can bite you. I find using regualr straight razors is quite a bit more forgiving than a Shavette.
However, the blades is the Feather is rounded at the ends, so there's way less chance of them nicking you, like half a DE blade in a Shavette can, huge difference.
The KAI blade is very smooth, I found the shave very pleasant.
The SS seems very well built, it's all stainless steel except for the scales obvisouly, very positive feel handling it. A bit slippery though, but not problematic. Using my alum block for better grip helped a lot.
As the blades are supposed to last for 5-7 shaves each, my three packs of blades will last me a looong time.

All in all I'm very happy with it, and it will be an welcome addition to the straight razor rotation :001_smile Great for travel as well.
