New (to me) Feather AS-D2

[Shortknock27]

Hello all! Just a quick note to let all those folks who may be on the fence about getting a Feather AS-D2, it is definitely worth it! I received mine in a trade last week and it is my new favorite razor (over the Weber polished, Tradere SB, Muhle R89, ATT Titan M1, Superspeed, Tech, Fatboy, etc.) I didn't think anything would beat out the Weber polished stainless but this one does, I think. SUPER smooth, no irritation...and still get a BBS on the face and nearly so on the neck just as I did with the Weber. This one is about a 9.5/10 where the the Weber was an easy 8.5-9/10. I may not be buying any new razors for a loooong time. And honestly, I thought I wanted a new brush, but my Kent BK4 is pretty much doing everything I need it to. Not to worry, it will make SWMBO happier I guess and I have lots of other things to spend $$$ on too. Just a friendly warning, those of you who like a little milder (but not ineffective) razor, this one may cure one of RAD. Just sayin.

I'm still loving the shaves it gives me after two months, it was probably one of the last times that I'll buy another razor, I now have 4 keepers out of all those I tried and I'm happy.

I have much of the same hardware as you(although I sold my Tradere SB a while back), and I agree with you. My second favorite is the ATT M-1 head with the Weber classic handle--real nice combo. I've also found that the Personna blues work just as well as Feather blades in this razor.

I had a great first shave with a new Feather blade in it, and I used it today and predictably enough it started pulling a bit. I switched to a Polsilver SI and it was like butter. Good stuff. That helps too since I just bought 100 of them a few weeks ago. Hope my Personna Labs work just as well.

The D2 is a very nice razor. I like it much better than my old D1.

mmmmm I must admit, it sounds tempting!

Fabulous razor. Beautifully machined. So smooth that I've had to check to see if there's a blade in it. Does the job fine. You will enjoy for many years.
