Should i get a Feather DX?
Gents! I already have Feather SS folding and non folding but have mixed feeling about DX, reading about other people reviewing this lovely item makes me hesitate a bit. Is it far more aggressive than SS? I usually survive each shave without nicks and cuts but non folding has made it's contribution ( Feather PRO blade) is not to be underestimated! 😂😂😂 But i am not in for BBS, reducing hair growth without rash, bad skin reaction of any kind is what i am looking for.
You who have tried both would you suggest on pulling the trigger or would it be waist of money?! Kai Captain might be a competitor!
Thanks in advance for taking time/ Best regards from Scandinavia

The SS is a fine shaver, too, but I always felt somewhat uncomfortable with the rounded edge.
I take the DX on trips by itself, with a single edge safety razor for backup, or the traditional straight razor with the DX as backup. Either way, the Feather DX should be part of a shave den.
Absolutely agree, there is not much that I could add except that the blades I use (Professional and Pro Super) work very well and differ in blade exposure without making much of a difference in the way they shave.
Feather AC blade are a bit harsh during the first two shaves, something that I try to remedy with palm-stropping before the first shave (only) with a new blade.
I was never inclined to try any other blade; in particular the Pro Guard, which has a small wire in front of the edge, makes no sense to me.
There are some less expensive Korean clones, but from my research some years ago before I bought my first Feather AC DX, I recall that build quality is not up to the same level.
The Feather DX makes a great travel razor and back-up at home for straight shaver and I am glad I bought mine.
