Shaving With a Japanese Feather AC
I know that Feather AC's aren't really used much around here, but I thought that I would link this video I made of myself shaving with a Japanese Non-Folding Feather AC. I've had it on shavemyface for over a day and thought that it may come in handy over here. At the very least, it shows the maneuverability of the Japanese style razor.

Looks Great, it does look like it gives a great shave, and handles more easily than some of the larger bladed straights.
Thanks Richard!

I'll admit I cringed each time the blade "stopped" on your chin.
Good work!

It was more nerve wracking than I thought with the camera on me. My hand shook a little bit here and there. Yes, the blade did crash into my chin a bit and gave me a small nick. Nerves. (sure, sure!)Originally Posted by sstulken80

Great vid. Thanks for sharing. F-AC is a great tool, just not my style but it gave me some ULTRA-close shaves when I borrowed it from Dave.

Cool. Thanks, Richard. To quote my brother when he caught me with my hands under the sheets, "That's some smooth strokin'."

That's a cool looking blade. I think I'd prefer to shave with that type actually. Scales always annoyed me a bit.
How's it stored?
How is honing/stropping on it?
(edit: nm, it's a the replaceable blade thing).
I do like the handle.
