I am wondering what the experiences of gents who have used straights for prolonged period of time thought when either trying, or moving onto using Feather Razors. Particularly Feather Artist Club SS razors.

I have read my fair share of gents who use them starting off - but little from men who have switched to them.

Myself personally, I always thought they were for men who couldn't hone; what with me being ignorant and all lol. But here lately, I can't seem to create a travel kit that isn't cumbersome. I either have too many razors - just in case. Or to many stones - just in case. Or too many balsa strips with... well you get the picture. I just dread having to suffer a sub-par shave on the road. Hence, I find myself taking my DE which isn't a crime but... it got me to thinking Feather.

The Feather SS seems like the perfect compromise. Certainly a great travel companion.

Now please don't make this about me not being able to pack lightly. I know I can't - it's a sickness. I just want to know what an experienced straight user who's given a Feather a try thinks of the tool.

Thanks gents.
