    Has anybody actually weighed the weight difference between say a Artist Club SS and Artist Club DX?

    I am not really convinced that this is relevant to a good shave - once the weight moves away from the Dovo light-weight shavettes and becomes similar to the weight of a typical straight razor - but FWIW about 44g for the SS and about 55g for the DX folding models.

    At my early stage of learning I would agree but there has been mention on this thread about the weight difference between the SS & DX
    10grams is nothing

    Hi There,

    I use an SS most days of the week, I also have a CJB which I have had scales fitted. Both razors provide a great BBS finish with very little difference. The Feather will last a life time the CJB will most likely not, but it is a good way to start. I have just ordered one from the USA for my son to cut his teeth on. Expect a few cuts if you are new to straights but once you master it, boy is it good.

    I love my Feather SS Kamisori style. I have a folding version also but the Kamasori straight non folding works better for me.
