Is it a Feather DX? Looks nice.
I have the Feather SS, with cheaper plastic scales, but it is a fantastic shaver. I just ordered a new shavette made by Kai, another Japanese company. This one has wooden scales similar to the one in your photo.
Have you done much open-blade shaving?
By the way, you may want to post this in the straight razor forum, and/or you could join us in the SABRE group in the Clubs and Brotherhoods forum. SABRE stands for Shavette And Barber Razor Enthusiasts. There you will find a group of people who use and really enjoy this type of razor.

Yes it is the Dx. Thanks for the tip. Been using a safety razor for a while, just switched to the shavette.
Fantastic razor. Enjoy!
Congrats, and enjoy the new shaves. Let us know how they go!

Welcome to the gentlemanly art of SR shaving.
Once you have mastered the DX, you will find shaving with a traditional SR a walk in the park. Then later you can aspire to a matching seven-day set of SR's

Nice razor! I recently completed a month long exercise of learning to use that very same razor, you may find some useful tips here: Artist Club August - https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/artist-club-august.592758/
Good luck!
