Doc - nice review of the Feather. I have an RG and I am also a big fan of them. I will jump in there with a review to follow yours!
Great review! I have often thought about buying either an AC or an RG, but found Classic's (after all they have a monopoly) prices almost obscene. Too bad, I bet there is a large number of gents who would enjoy these tools if they were price more in line with what they are.
There was a group buy of the Japanese style Feather AC, $125 shipped. I got in on that one. There must be other sources.
I have an ebony western style and an eastern style with a second eastern coming from the group buy on SMF. I find the eastern style to be more maneuverable than the traditional western style.
The blade smoothness can be improved by corking the blade. When I do this I get great shaves starting with the first shave. If I don't, the first few shaves are harsh. I use the Super Pro blades.
Corking the blade?
This just means to pass the blade over an old wine cork to take the "harshness" off the blade.
See this thread from SMF:

Some of you may have never seen the video of Rustyblade over at SMF shaving with the eastern version of the Feather AC.
