After a single pass with this razor blade, you will realize that this is not like any other safety razor blade and that you should proceed with caution.  This is no surprise since Japanese steel is known to be the best and sharpest in the world.

The Feather Double Edged Razor brings you excellent value and quality for those who are just starting out in the wet shaving arena.  Feather has been making shaving essentials for almost 100 years and has created a safety razor for entry level wet shavers who want to dive right in.

Made of a polymer based handle, this adjustable butterfly based razor allows safety blade changes from the top head of the razor by twisting the handle in a counter clockwise position to open the head and a counter clockwise position to close the head after a safety blade has been loaded.  Once you try this Feather Double Edged Razor a few times, you will start to get comfortable with how it performs.  From this point, you can make a decision on if you would like a more aggressive shave or not.

By opening the handle in a counter clockwise position a few turns, this allows the safety blade to become exposed more aggressively or more open.  This allows more surface contact with the blade of the razor which provides a more aggressive shave.  Beware though, it is highly recommended to not shave with the open blade position unless you have a really thick, coarse hair.

This Feather Double Edged Razor comes with a pack of Feather Hi Stainless double edge razor (black version) included in the purchase.  These black package razor blades are not as aggressive as the Feather Platinum Coated Blades but provide a decent shave for those whose skin cannot handle a very aggressive, sharp blade.

The best part about the Feather Double Edged Razor is the price because it allows just about anyone to experiment with this razor without draining your bank account.  If you want something affordable and different to try or if you are new to wet shaving, this razor is an absolute must.

Crafted with a full stainless steel design and molded into 3 pieces, the Feather All Stainless Double Edge Razor AS-D2 assembles and disassembles like a classic timepiece.  The engineering team who created this razor focused on three major areas:  Style, strength and perfect manufacturing tolerances.  Once you take apart this safety razor to put in your favorite safety blade, you will hear the chiming of the stainless steel pieces ping against each other and immediately understand what quality means in the safety razor market.  There are absolutely no rough edges which are normally created with poor manufacturing standards.

The handle of this razor measures about 4 inches long and is manufactured with a rough grip to ensure the AS-D2 doesn’t fly out of your hand when you have a little shaving cream or soap on you.  The Feather All Stainless Double Edge Razor AS-D2 isn’t designed for the most aggressive shave connoisseur but more so for a person who wants something mild and quality based.  You will definitely get a more aggressive shave with a butterfly type safety razor which allow you to open up the depth of the blade where as this razor does not open for a more aggressive shave.  However, if this safety razor is used with a quality safety razor blade, it will challenge just about any other brands design without any hesitation

The Feather All Stainless Double Edge Razor AS-D2 uses any form of safety razor blade you prefer but we highly recommend using this device with the Feather platinum coated Hi-Stainless blades.  These safety razor blades are one of the most aggressive and sharp blades available today.  When you combine these aggressive blades with the milder razor design, you create a perfect, flawless combination.

Overall, if you love the best of the best, this is the safety razor for you which is sure to outlast just about anything or anyone as long as it is properly cared for.  Invest in this shaving instrument and you can pass on this tool for many generations.
