Well, I got the Feather Artist Club DX Stainless in Teak this morning and the Feather Pro blades. Hadn't shaved before picking it up at the PO, so came home and went straight to it. Rather than type a lot, I can't describe it as eloquently as Obie, so please see his post on page 2.

But, I was really surprised at the performance of this razor. I used the same angles, technique and strokes I use with any of my traditional straights, and the Feather performed and felt like a traditional razor. Three passes, very clean and smooth shave and not a nick, cut or weeper....even over a troublesome scar. I could have stopped at 2 passes, but went ahead with an ACG just so I could say I did all 3 passes and the razor performed flawlessly. This is a razor that's found a home, and I didn't think that would happen. The grandson will be getting a Feather AC, SS.

Very impressed with this razor.

Best Regards,

Howard
