so i'm one of those faux-straight users.. i employ a feather artist club dx.. for some reason i'm looking at it today as i am enjoying a nice "nightshave" and i think.. is this a wedge?
well guys.. is it? i mean.. is the shave i experience similar to what i would experience with a wedge grind razor?
a silly question maybe.. but just wondering.
(oh.. and check that out.. my post count just ticked over to 1,000!)
Congrats on the 1k :pQuote:

My 2 cents...
thanks.. i guess you are right.. i am using the feather light blades.. so maybe that's the complete opposite.. but i am about to run out and will be forced to use the regular professional blades i have left over from when i first started using the artist club..
back to corking for awhile.
Funny,I seem to fear a feather shaver more then I ever would a straight. And I'm just as leary of a double edge. I love my straights.:):)
Lol I'm with ya there, those DE blades give me the eeby jeebies :pQuote:

as for the de.. i like them.. but no matter how hard i try.. i just can't come close to the shave i get with the artist club.
What ever works for you, and you like it, it's all good :)Quote:
