What year Feather release the AS-D1 All Stainless Razor?

[RDK]

I like to exhibit all of my razors in a cabinet with dates and information (from date codes, or information widely available on the internet) like this:

Will receive a Feather AS-D1 nowadays, but what date should I place on it?

What about 2010, or was this razor widely available in earlier years?

Texbilly wrote a review about it in May 201 and Harvey created a thread about it in April 2010. So it looks like the razor came out in 2010.

I didn't realize the Feather stainless was so relatively new.

Interesting for sure.

How old did u think it was, you have been a member since 2010 when it came out.

I thought they were around and established.

However, in the beginning my interests were much more about the vintage DE and budget gear. I was not sure to be honest.

It took me a year or so before I even looked into brushes and soaps much.

I thought Feather stainless were an institution, but I see they're still in the first generation relatively speaking.
