SUNDAY
Wishing you all a week of great shaves, and personal success! :-bd
Hot shower prep
Soap: Stroker’s Find
Mug: Coffee / soup cup lather bowl
Brush: Home made 24mm Silvertip
Razor: Feather RG
Aftershock: alum block
Splash: Home made Bay Rum

Today: A bright, beautiful, and warming 0ºC. The Shave...Great!
A gentleman offered to swap this razor for a D.E. razor I had, so I now have a Feather.The Feather RG (chromed brass) has enough weight to work well as a straight razor with no added pressure. The size of the head is proportional to a 5/8ths straight. Since the average straight shaver uses only the last two thirds of a blade the shorter Feather does not hinder. Shave angle is very important with this razor. The “Professional” blades are quite aggressive. Similar to either a “Fat Boy” on 9 or a 5/8ths just off the hones at ~10K. Would it be my every day shaver? No. Would it be a winner for short trips? Yes! Feather blades are at a reasonable cost for occasional use. Also, as with a good SE or DE, it should be disassembled and cleaned after use. It is altogether, in my opinion, a very well made product! The other players are my go to’s for a new razor trial experience.
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

Indeed, my dream razor. The best Filarmonica I have ever seen, the EPBD with the translucent Blue scales.
I held back a bid on one a few weeks ago that would have won it, there's always another! Cheers
