How can one not like AS-D2. I am not using any of my other razors now for weeks.

I agree, how can you not like this razor??
I've seen some pretty harsh opinions of them on this forum.
any razor With a New feather or a gillette yellow blade is a good razor , but With less good blade you need a better razor , and if Your razor dont cut it you can shim it towards the baseplate , then it get more agressive ,

the truth is everyones technik is different , the hair is not changing , its the same , you make nicks , weepers and irritation by Your dull razor and Your bad tecknik, a Tech razor is Tech razor even if you pay 150$ for it ,
How is the Feather (steel) razor compared to something like a Merkur 34C?
were talking feather blades here , Merkur 34 is Tech style razor

It is a little more forgiving in the shave. You can still nick yourself with an AS-D2 if you are not careful, just not as easily as with the Merkur. The Merkur is still a great razor in every way. I don't think I could make the case that the AS-D2 is worth 4 or 5 times as much as the 34c, it is if you want it and can afford it. If you don't want to spend the dollars on the Feather, the Merkur shaves just fine, IME.
I had two good shaves with AS D2 loaded with Perma Sharp. Tomorrow will be trying Lord blades.
Lord Super Stainless (green and blue) in an AS-D2 is/was the biggest failure so far. It wasnt smooth and pulled hair, it simply couldn't cut. In terms of prep and lather nothing was changed.
Here what has worked so far: Feather, Astra SP, Perma Sharp (the winner)
What hasn't worked: Lord Super Stainless, 7 o'clock (green)

weak razor needs strong Sharp blades , get yourself a better razor
Not weak, but mild
I do have other razors but find the shaves I get from AS-D2 (provided I use a sharp blade) superior to my other razors. I do love Astras in my Fattip or Supermax in my Merkur. But I prefer Permas in my AS-D2 for my SOTD everyday.

You are right, I'm throwing mine away!
Good idea. Keep the blade, change the razor
and now buy a slant , then you can shave With any blade ,

I've never used a blade that didn't work. Every blade I've used has given me a great shave.
