The Greager and CJB are the same, but being an obsessive I wanted to collect them all. I have another retro Feather on it's way.

Awesome. I need to take an updated picture of mine.
I've tried to get this info from the AliExpress app, so I hope it works.

What do you want a clone of? A Feather DX, RG, or SS or even a Kai Luffy or Captain.
I haven't been onto this thread in quite some time. Impressive sets of razors, gents.
I am pretty boring. Still using my lime green folding Feather SS for every shave, most recently yesterday evening. I usually use Prolines, but I saw that I still had one Feather Pro and one Feather Pro Super left over from Try-a-Blade, so this time I loaded it up with the Feather Pro.
I swear it tugs more than the Proline, especially on the first shave. Last night was my fourth shave on it, and it has settled in pretty nicely. Got a comfy shave out of it.
Right now I'm about 6 weeks away from a full year of using nothing but the Feather SS.

SS............
The two AliExpress clones I have bought have been based on the Feather SS and the Kai Luffy, they are very similar.

That is good to know. I struggled with a straight for a few weeks and took a break. I recently bought a shavette and find it fairly easy to shave with. I am thinking my 'shave ready' straight may have been a bit less than ready. Every shave ready straight I have bought has needed a bit of...

If you just look at other products you will find an SS clone.

Boy, what a shave. I realized that I have to go ATG on the last cleanup pass or else it wouldn't be close enough. I used light pressure with hydrated lather and it worked like a charm. I'm looking forward to learning more of the shavette technique and possibly using this as my daily driver.

Looks like you did quite well, and with an unguarded blade at that. I found that once I got accustomed to feeling the of the open blade against my skin, safety razors don't give me the same satisfaction as straight or shavette.
Just keep practicing technique (which seems darn good already), and you may indeed start using it is your daily driver.
Hi all I recently brought a Shavette
It’s a blue beards revenge shavette are they any good has anyone tryed them ?

I don't have one, but it's a decent razor. It's very similar to my Parker SR1 in terms of the blade-holding mechanism. If you are new to shavette shaving, I would recommend a milder blade with this one. Gillette Silver Blue have always worked well for me.
Thanks for the advise interms of sr I do have a straight but I didn’t want to bother with honing and stroping I have a Dovo 3/8 and now this
You are right that DE shaving becomes much less satisfying once you master an open blade.
Aug 20: Back to the Proraso Pro
Lather: Stirling Baker Street (sample)
Brush: Proraso Professional (27/57mm)
Razor: Feather SS Kamisori 6/8 (clone)
Blade: Feather Artist Club ProGuard [4]
Post: Pur-est Musk/Bay Rum/Glycerine/Aloe
Great shave with the fixed handled Feather SS clone. I don't know if I'm liking it better than the folding version, but they are different. There's definitely a place for both in my den.

Aug 21: Horrible Shave
Lather: Cyril R. Salter Luxury Cream - French Vetiver
Brush: Semogue 620 (21/50mm)
Razor: Univinlions Kai Captain, straight (clone)
Blade: Feather Artist Club ProGuard [5]
Post: Alum
Balm: Aqua Velva Sensitive 5 in 1 After Shave Balm
Horrible shave today - I was so unhappy with the results that I didn't want to take a picture to remind me of it.
Soap and brush were amazing, but the wheels feel off the bus during the first pass. I got 6 weepers! I know this razor demands the utmost respect with a new sharp blade, but I didn't think I did anything wrong. The alum burned like brimstone.
Time to regroup and take it easy for a couple of days.
