First Impression of a Feather Popular

I recieved my Feather Popular in the mail today so when I got home from work, I figured I'd give it a shot. First of all, my neck is a bit torn up because I've been practicing using my Parker Shavette and I haven't quite gotten the hang of it yet. I had quite a bit of irritation and 2 cuts on my neck that need to heal. I figured 'what the hay' though and loaded up the Feather with the included Feather blade.

So.. if this is what is considered a 'mild' razor, then sign me up. Other than the irritation that was already there from the morning shave, this razor did nothing other than glide nicely over my skin and remove the little bit of stubble that had accumulated. I did a standard 3 pass shave and was very pleased with the results.

The unit itself is a bit on the light side, but I liked it overall. The mechanism works very smoothly and the overall quality seems very good. I'm going to give my face two days to heal and then try again, but if the next shave (and ones after this one) continue to be as good as the one today, I think I'll just stick with this one razor and just collect soaps.
 
It's a well made razor, as they all are from Feather I think, and although it may be mild for some, it does the job and can give you a great shave!

Enjoy!

(You'll need willpower that most on here don't have to stick with just one razor though!)
 
The Popular is as mild as you can get other than a Weishi or a Wilkinson Sword Classic. I like mine too.
 
The popular is a wonderful razor and is what got me started into this rabbit hole. Enjoy it but be careful, it tends to attract more of its kind.
 
This was my first new DE razor purchase when I firs started. It is indeed light and mild but top notch in terms of quality.
