Hi all, I've been absent from the board for quite some time. Between working and being in seminary I've been lucky to stay afloat! At any rate, I recently purchased the Feather Artist Club SS, it's the one with the fairly simple black resin scales, and I have to say, I love it! I've used Feather DE blades in my DE razors for several years, so I quality and sharpness. With this razor I ordered the Pro blades (no wire guard). I can say with all honesty that it gave a perfect shave this morning. My daily driver is a Thiers Issard Special Couiffier, but this new Feather, in my opinion, was just as smooth, if not more so. Very happy. I travel several times a year to the west coast, and though I have packed my strop and all, I think next time I'm just taking the Feather and a couple blades. Hope everyone is doing well.

NTK.
