My dear Gugi,

You are so right with your thoughts on the Feather.

I have the Feather with wood scales, so I imagine it would be slightly lighter than the one you tried. I take it on my trips, though recently, after purchasing a travel-size Tony Miller strop, I also take a regular straight razor along.

For me, too, the Feather will never replace the regular straight. The romance isn't there.

Regards,
Obie
