Hello, Gents, does the Feather AC shavette fit Schick Proline or Kai Guard blades? I’m considering getting the SS version from Japan. I see it is $71 on the auction site.
Because of the shipping charges from Japan, you may just get a similar deal locally and it may come in faster. I'm assuming you are in the US.
$94 on amazon with free shipping. I unit in stock.I put an offer for $66.95. I can wait. No rush.

They will fit, but for me they are not a good match. The SS has a large lip, which causes you to use a relatively steep angle. If you are used to straight razors, this will probably not be an angle you are comfortable using. If you pare it with a Feather pro super, you are able to use a much better angle, because the blade exposure is bigger. I guess you will find out, but you need to at least try the super blade. The feather pro and the proline blades works grate in my AC SR, which has a smaller lip.Hello, Gents, does the Feather AC shavette fit Schick Proline or Kai Guard blades?

This is a good idea- skip the Feather SS and go for the newer Feather SR; mine was about $104 shipped from Japan to Nevada. IMHO the SR is a much better holder and gives an easier and better shave than the SS does. The shave is more traditional SR like, but yet a tad more forgiving than the DX, while the SR is less money.Got yesterweek a Feather SR from Japan for ca 98 € including postage. Very good first impression. Night and day compared to SS clone.
Maybe I’ll get the SR as well. Can’t hurt.This is a good idea- skip the Feather SS and go for the newer Feather SR; mine was about $104 shipped from Japan to Nevada.
