hey so thought i'd use the NOS Gillette G1000 and a brand new Feather Popular which i had to hand
as i dont shave as much as i'd like, so sometimes i use two razors within the same head shave
so both are TTO razors and i loaded with two brand new feather de blades,
used coconut oil preshave and a nivea shaving stick with a yaqi synthetic
from the first stroke i knew both of these are mild raozrs but i'd say that the feather popular is slightly more efficient then the gillette g1000 and both have got nice long handles and are lightweight
it was a quick easy and quick shave, althouh one thing i'd say is that the feather popular does have a bit of blade chatter and that resulted me in getting the a bit of a bad nick,
ive not had a nick like that in many years and tbf that was my fault as i was going over a scar,
so i usually slow down when going over it but i forgot and was rushing a bit
that nick happened with the feather popular and i do think the blade chatter played a part but no im not blaming the razor as i had a lapse of concentration and couldve easily avoided it, so my fault
i actually like these two razors, i thinkthe gillette g1000 clamps the razor down better but then the feather popular shaves more efficently
btw like the case the father popular comes in, could be handy for travelling but a little on the big side
i could see these being a good razor for newbies to wet shaving or transitioning
