SS Japanese Straight Razor (Black)

Excelente calidad

I went from a Mach 3 to this feather SS Japanese style razor. That's the perspective I'm coming from. I've never shaved with a safety razor or a straight razor before, so I can't compare it to others on the market. I've given it 5 stars because I have no complaints at all. The blades are cheaper, sharper and last longer than a Mach 3. The blades are very secure. I love the handle . . . good grip. Yes, I've cut myself more with this than the Mach 3, but I'm new at it and have improved a lot very quickly. I haven't had an ingrown hair yet! I bet this is a lot easier to shave with than a regular straight razor because their is no handle to deal with. The downside is that the blade is a little dangerous to have around the bathroom unless you buy the plastic safety cover that fits around it--sold separately. Highly recommended.One thing to think about if you are like me, coming from a cartridge razor, is that this takes a lot more time. It takes me 20 minutes to shave! I mean. . . I'm not rushing it or anything. . . Might be able to rush a 10 minute shave if I was in a real hurry. But if you don't have that kind of time to add to your routine, stick with a cartridge razor.

I've been a straight razor shaver for years, and I think based on my experience thus far, that this is the best, most effective, and easiest razor I've ever used. It's just a joy to shave with. I was a bit skeptical at first, as I already own and use the folding version of the Feather straight razor. That one is fine, but the ergonomics for me were always a bit awkward. I am a huge fan of Feather Artist Club blades. Their absurdly keen edge, combined with great ergos and durability are really extraordinary IMHO. So this was something I really wanted to try. Glad I did!There is something about the form factor of this razor - it's really more knife-like than traditionally straight razor-esque - that just WORKS. I think the fact that the blade is presented to your skin in a fixed position and more "stable" manner, probably combined with the perfect level of traction provided by the rubberized handle, make it much easier to control and use. In particular, if like me you use your non-dominant hand when you switch sides of your face (i.e., using your right hand to shave your right side, left hand to shave your left side...), I think you'll find that this razor is more confidence-inspiring for off-hand use than a folder.Anyway, if you're a straight razor devotee and/or a Feather fanboi, and you want to try something a bit unconventional - I can highly recommend this razor. It has been providing me with the closest single-pass shaves I've ever experienced. Kind of a game-changer.

It is costly but Feather's blades are so good that I don't mind paying for this razor. It is actually great and pleasant to use.
