FEATHER Safety Razor Co Double Edge Razor

Sure, it might not be the most fancy razor out there. It doesn't have all the glits and glam of ther other razors but if you are a safety razor novice then this is a great first buy, get the fancy stuff later. This is a great first buy because it's priced so cheaply that it's not a huge hit to the wallet if shaving with a double edge razor isn't for you, but it's quality is well worth it that if you do decide to stick with it it'll give you a lot of mileage.

Do your shaving friends a favour and get them something like this. Forget all the garbage you can buy in the supermarkets or certain shaver chains and forget the expensive replacement cartridges; this kind of thing outdoes them all, and this entry level product is as good as any.

I even use this for personal shaving in about the most difficult areas on the body (if you know what I mean) and it does superbly; gets close, no irritation and no nicks, and if it's delicate enough for *that* skin it's delicate enough for anything.

Recommend getting the disposal tin as well, to ensure safe disposal of the blades.

It takes a lot of effort to use. Feels cheap, flimsy, and imprecise. Very disappointing from an otherwise remarkable company.

I started wet shaving again after a long break. Decided to go with this baby. This piece of fine engineering is value and quality. Do not let the plastic handle put you off. It is well balanced, gentle, and a pleasure to handle. True piece of good value and quality utilitarian tool that may not have the swanky "gloryboy" pizazz but it is a beautiful thing in itself. I would pass this on as an heirloom to celebrate the common hardworking middle class man. S

Started shavin with a safety razor about 6 weeks ago after watching many YouTube clips on how to do so. Firstly - if you don't apply too much pressure don't let anyone fool you the first shave can't be excellent. I got this puppy and was so excited to try it I did so after a few drinks out and it went just fine! Great razor. Have since purchased the Merkur 38C but this makes for an excellent travel kit (which I do about every second week) due to the weight. Don't let the price or plastic fool you - this is an excellent first razor to see if DE is for you!
