Hi Geo- Great shave and razor review; thank you! The new Feather razor definitely looks like it performed very well. Have a great Fourth of July weekend🇺🇸! Be safe and be well. Best regards, as always, Geo!
Hi Geo! Another great shave mate! It still facinates me watching you straight razor shave. Really expertly done!! I hope you and the family are well and keeping safe. I am still hugely busy at work and the Disney boys are building and setting up the "Beauty and the Beast" set ready for the World premiere we are hosting. Take care Sir and love to all. Dave.
Happy 4th of July Geo💈💈 Great shave with the Feather AC razor. Always wanted a Japanese Kamisori razor, I'll have a look into these replaceable blade versions. That soap is amazing, been using for years. Great video as always. Be careful and have a fun 4th. Enjoy!
Geo, you’ve shaved with the SS, DX and SR. I see the SR has more weight than the SS but is the rounded edge the same as the SS and as for the shave, what is the difference in angle? Your advice as usual is priceless.
If I May add my advice since I own an SR and SS, the SR angle of attack is similar to a traditional straight. I would put it at 30 degrees. The SS to me is around 45 degrees. I hope this helps out. The SR is excellent. I enjoy using it!
Happy 4th of July Geo! Geo, goes without saying, viewers will be wanting your opinion/comparison on the SR vs SS vs DX. The SR is allegedly a hybrid of the SS and DX in that it still has a lip like the SS but not as pronounced. Looking forward to an SR w/ Japanese handle myself.
Hey geo, can you please do a video review on Colonel Conk shaving soap? I've been using the almond scent one for months now and it produces a really rich creamy lather.
Hello thanks for all your good videos.. I was thing about how much different the shave and use/feeling of the the models SS, SR and dx, i can not decide which model to go for
Hey, thanks for the video and review. I'm thinking about jumping the train and try a shavette razor for the first time (this particular model), because I have super thick and coarse beard that grows very fast, and I really need to upgrade my shave kit to something that gives me a closer, smoother and more pleasant shave. Do you think that this razor will suit my needs? I have tried a classic Double edge razor before, and while I liked it, I would still like to have something that gives me even closer shave and more precision. Thanks in advance, and cheers !
Hey, Geo, you're looking in fine form. You haven't lost a beat. Must be, as you said, that European blood. Two questions: 1. I get a better shave with my Feather Artist Club SS than I do with my stropped straight razors. Would you say that's unusual, or could it be due to how well or poorly my straight razors are honed, my technique or what? What would you imagine? 2. I don't have a Feather Artist Club DX or SR. Do both of these have that unbeveled edge, or is the SR's edge like that of the SS, which I have? I get a great shave with my SS. My beard is not very coarse, especially at 71-years-old. What difference do you think I'd see/feel, shaving with a DX or SR, compared to my SS? Thanks, Geo. Keep up the good work. I'll recommend you for a raise. By the way, if you need anything from the San Jose / San Francisco area of California, let me know. I'll do my best to deliver any reasonable requests. Ciao, guy.
Thanks Martin, Nice to hear from you! It's hard to get a straight razor as sharp as those proprietary AC blades that are made by machine in Japan. Plus, no honing hassles. Stick with your AC SS it is the most popular shavette we sell.Also the choice of many professional barbers. Regarding the bevels, might be a good topic for an upcoming video. And-2 of my best childhood friends moved to San Jose many years ago... Brothers John and Robert. An outside wireman and a fire chief respectively... Enjoy the weather!
Hello! Could you help me, I have bought Sr razor artist club At the first utilisation, I m cutting my face 😅 I am a little bit beginner but I have ever used straight razor (few) Do you think I should have bought the SS? Or my technical is not good I think.. But it's going fast ( lot of blood) I have stop my shaving Thanks for your answer Jérémy.
How many shaves per blade do you with your kind of growth get with either the professionals, super pro or proguard blades? Or any other Artist Club blade brands?
Sorry, I know this is a year old and you may have found the answer by now. The SS and SR are cast. The DX is machined. Machining is expensive, that's the biggest factor for the cost difference. The parts of the DX just fit better and I just find it the better looking razor. In terms of performance, it really depends on you. The SS is milder/more forgiving but you can't use the shorter Light and Softguard blades in it. The SR has a bit more exposure and can use all five types of feather blades. The DX has the most exposure (and you should use the least pressure with this model). The SR is a fantastic middleground between the SS and DX and if I'm being honest, factoring in the cost, is the better razor between it and the DX. Cost no issue and factoring in looks and fit/finish, DX wins. The DX has this unwanted stiction effect though if lather is too thick. But yeah, this has gone on long enough. Lol. SR is cast. DX is machined. That's it.
I really want to try that razor, but had a bad experience with a cheap shavette. I shave with my dad's 1957 Gillette red tip (and currently a Feather blade) for 45 years, so I have some experience but I wonder...is it easier and more comfortable using a high-end shavette versus a cheap one? Any advice will be helpful.
There are several blade choices other than Feather that will fit in these razors. More shaves can be had from a blade than 2-3. Longer blades mean easier more efficient shaves.
@@orlanskimer Yes but then you're not getting a feather shavette are you? I do have a standard shavette and a turkish sedef,I'm mostly using the sedef for beard defining after my 2 pass shave.In the past I've been VERY close to getting one of these razors but the blade prices turned me off.

It's that European blood....
Good morning gentlemen and a very good morning to the ladies.

Hey geo, can you please do a video review on Colonel Conk shaving soap? I've been using the almond scent one for months now and it produces a really rich creamy lather.
Check out some of my previous videos.I've used Conk soap a lot. I've melted it down into bowls and mugs!
I’m on the cusp for buying one I’m trying to decide between the DX or the SR
Be nice to know the difference.
Hello thanks for all your good videos.. I was thing about how much different the shave and use/feeling of the the models SS, SR and dx, i can not decide which model to go for
As an experienced user I can say that SR series is more balanced and suitable for all users, than the two other Feather series.
Thanks for your valued input
Nice shave Geo:)
Thanks RK!
Happy 4th of July to you all in the US from little old me in Blighty.
Thanks Steven! All the best from the USA. Did you find any of our fireworks in your backyard on the 5th?

Hey Geo, I'm looking for a new TTO razor. What's the most aggressive one you carry? Would it be the Parker 92r?
How many shaves per blade do you with your kind of growth get with either the professionals, super pro or proguard blades? Or any other Artist Club blade brands?
Hi Geo, how many shave with one blade?
The MFGR says 10-12
i have a question can i use feathers super professional blades with a mühle shavette?
What’s the difference between the SR and DX. Dx is super expensive!

Some people prefer the DX still, not sure why.
True!

There is a huge difference between a Feather Artist Club razor and a cheap shavette razor... The choice of many Pro barbers for good reason!
For the SR Japanese-style, will the cover for the SS fit, or the DX cover, or neither? Thanks.
The DX cover fits the new SR Japanese razors: bit.ly/FeatherDXBladeGuardSN
Of course your name Geo Fatboy, nice job Man I'm going to support you can be? Take care of yourself. I like it razors Japanese.
Sounds good-Thanks!
@@geofatboy Me too thanks again Man
Which is more aggressive and removes the beard better? The Muhle R41 or the Feather Artist Club straight razor?
R41 is the king
I still feel the best shave comes from a straight razor!
is there a way to remove the head like with the other ACs?
Does the SR give a closer shave than the DX?
YMMV-I prefer the SR: bit.ly/FeatherSRArtistClubRazorSN
How many shaves can you get out of the blade ?
The Mfgr says between 10 and 12. YMMV.
What is the difference between the SS, DX and the SR?
Aggressiveness for the same blade is SS
smooth!
Thanks Brian!

my gripe with these shavettes is the blades cost too much
Get a shavette that uses the same blade length as a safety razor. Those blades are dirt cheap

They say 10-12 shaves per blade...
The closest shave I think.
