Product description
If you find yourself disillusioned - or downright fed up - with all the turbo glide nonsense of modern saftey razors, perhaps it’s time to re-visit the tried and tested double edged razor (DE), and typically, the Japanese do it rather well. This brushed stainless steel model from Feather is a luxurious, finely engineered thing of utter beauty that will most probably outlast you, and banish all the newfangled rubbish to the back of the cupboard.
If you haven’t used a DE before, fear not. Go slow, but fear not. The closeness of the shave is equalled only by the sheer enjoyment you’ll have, especially if you lather up with a badger-hair brush.
If you have used one before, Feather work best at quite a steep angle, and give a non-aggressive shave, especially if used with Feather Hi-Stainless blades. Comes in a display box, with a standing base and a couple of blades to get you started.
Best usage
Beard be gone! This traditional shaving tool offers a clean, smooth finish that makes irritation, in-grown hairs and razor burn a thing of the past. The fine edge cuts each hair without pulling or tugging, resulting in a satisfyingly close shave. If you’re used to a quadruple storey multi blade with lubricating whatnots, the stripped back, refined design can take a bit of getting used to; but once you get the hang of it the results are more than worth it. It also scores very highly on sustainability, since you need only ever replace the stainless steel blades.
Assuming you don’t already know how: wet your face with warm water and apply a generous amount of shaving cream. Find the right angle against your skin (30-45 degrees). Keep a steady hand, and make short gentle strokes downwards in the direction of hair growth. Avoid applying pressure and let the razor do the work for you. Rinse the blade frequently to avoid clogging.
