Thread: Feather Artist Club SS.......First shave & I'm Impressed!

Well, having only used straights (Mastro Livi Regrind and a Ragg) for the past several years, I took the plunge and bought the Feather Artist Club SS, and all I can say is I'm impressed, very impressed!!!

I did consider the RG or DX some time ago, but was put off by people who had said they were too sharp or too aggressive. Certainly, from my first shave experience, I have found the SS to be neither of these when fitted with the pro guard blades. I did just 2 passes, one WTG and one ATG. The result was very, very near BBS, and without any injuries or irritation.

If you have always wondered about the Feather Artist Club I would suggest giving this one a go. It's nicely put together and does exactly what it says on the tin. It's also stainless steel and considerably less expensive than the DX.

Recommendation: If you are considering an SS, and you are an experienced user of straight razors, I would suggest giving the pro guards a miss. Go for another derivative of the pro blades or perhaps the professional blades.........you'll get a closer shave with less effort and more blades to the $/£.
