Item Description
I have both all metal D/E razors and the Feather Popular which is composed of both metal and plastic. I kept going back to the Feather and now use it exclusively.
The general consensus is that the quality is poor. I feel that "quality" is a relative term. You can not really compare this particular razor to all metal razors because it is not all metal. For what it is, being both plastic and metal, it feels like and looks like it is well manufactured. The base of the head is plastic and this includes the safety bar. The silo doors and hinges are all metal. The doors open and close smoothly and tightens the blade down frimly. The blade is properly set and aligned.
The weight, though it is light, makes the razor feel well balanced between the head and the handle. The handle is also plastic and long and has a good grip. The handle feels like maybe there is a metal rod inserted inside the handle but can not comfrim this.
My only question would be the "durability" of the razor. These sell on the internet anywhere from $10-$20 with an average price around $15. For $30 one can buy a decent all metal razor that could last several years. It is hard to say how long a Feather Popular razor will last.
So I would not recommend this razor so much as an economical choice as I would because of the smooth and close shave I get and no razor burn. Keep in mind that I have a medium to light beard. This may not work as well on heavy beards.
