Item Description
As one who only uses quality Feather or Kai straights I just got both the folding and the nonfolding Feather SS straights. I had my first shave today with the folding model SS straight. All I can say is the shave was nothing less than phenomenal. Any Feather used with any Feather blade will be much sharper than a traditional straight, hence their reputation of being less forgiving. Its true, they are certainly one very sharp razor. The new SS, IMHO has it all over the other Feather straights. To start with its very light compared to any of the AC straights. However the new head design makes for an almost effortless shave due to the ridge that is built into the head. Its very easy to move around your face, and makes it harder to nick or cut yourself. Of course after improving my technique with the AC's to the point of being able to get DFS and even BBS with either the folding or the nonfolding model's, using the new SS is almost too easy. As you can see from the above ratings, all appropriate boxes are #10 except for the price which I thought was just a bit high, because the SS comes with a plastic handle instead of the heavier AC versions. This is not a big problem though, as the razor still handle's easy, and shaves great. This is the only drawback that I can see, and it in no way changes how good the razor shaves.
I've been very impressed with both the Feather AC's and the Kai's for some time. And being one who learned how to use a straight, and cut his teeth on straights, through the Feather, I find this new SS to be head and shoulders above any other disposable blade straight out there today. This first shave was one is the best shave's I've ever had with any Feather straight. There were no nicks or cuts or any irritation at all. This straight is very comfortable and really easy to use. For anyone looking to get into straights, without any of the hassle of a regular straight, what could be easier, just change the blade when it gets dull, The new Feather SS is right at the top of my list.
