Thread: Feather Artist Club razors

Hi just received my feather and had my 1st shave with it today. Yes, it's one sharp razor WTG went well; ATG will need some work. Does concentrate your thinking. But , ready for another tomorrow.
? My question is that the instructions say to remove and clean/dry the blade and remove for holding? Is this something you do? And where? Or do you just wash it off , dry and return to the razor for the next shave?? Thanks.

Yes I remove and clean the blade, actually i find it easier to place the blade into the razor by hand than using the blade applicator, it's pretty straight forward.

I don't ,i just rinse in hot water & towel dry and thats it

Gentlemen:
I bought my Feather Artist Club in the teak handle some years ago and not once have I thought of selling it. I think many who have bought the Feather Artist Club choose to hold on to them. The Feather is a superb razor for what it is — a straight razor with replaceable blades. A regular straight razor is a different experience. What's more, the Feather is less forgiving than the regular straight. I try not to compare the two razor much as I don't compare the double edge to the straight razors. Each in its own place, is what I say. Is one better than the other? Better in what way? So, yes, I plan to hold on to mine into the next century — if the Lord is willing and the creek don't rise.

I thought that it would be a good idea to take the blade out, clean and dry it. But... Watched a geofatboy flick and all he recommended was to rinse it and put the razor way with the blade in it wet. Didn't seem right.

Yea, and my Iwasaki Kamisori will wipe the floor with your feather straight any day of the week.

Har har.

But mine's easier to spell!(:-)

Have a feather AC. love it. cut myself up initially but now im rewarded with awesome shaves every morning.

Anyone know where to buy/order a Feather blade guard for the non folding artist club? TIA.
