Review: I am now a former cartridge blade user - I first used a DE razor as an adolescent in the 70's but soon the proliferation of disposables and the development of cartridge razors made them obsolete. As the decades went by I went from cartridge blades featuring 2 blades to 3 blades to the ridiculous and over priced 5 blade models, all the while paying ever increasing prices for those designs, up to the tune of $5 a blade. Then I had begun evaluating the expense of these "miracle" cartridge shavers and decided to try the DE shaving system once again, if not for merely nostalgia then to pay only ~.35 cents a blade versus five bucks. My first attempts failed miserably. I ended up with a satisfactory shave on the face, but on the throat and below the jaw I found shaving with a DE razor more akin to losing a battle with a sword wielding Ninja. I went back to cartridges for some years after, deciding "nostalgia" shaving technology was best left in the past where it originated. After hearing a co-worker talk about his satisfaction with DE's and more research on the 'net, I decided to attempt this "new-old" shaving system once more. Realizing my past failures, I knew I needed to do something different. My skin is not super-sensitive, but not sheet leather either. What had I done wrong before? I soon began to find the answers. The problem I realized, is that cartridge razors teach you to shave "incorrectly". Due to the fact they are essentially a blade or set of blades that are set into a box at a 30-40 degree angle or so (that's my guess), you are forced to place the shaving implement flat against your face for them to work. Couple that with their tendency to accumulate junk between the blades and you must increase pressure to maintain sufficient blade-skin contact. They do work adequately when employed as their design dictates, but the technique they force you to use is disastrous if transferred to a DE razor. I purchased this Feather model DE and wasn't particularly impressed with it out of the box. Though well made in appearance, it was predominantly plastic. Aren't DE razors supposed to be metal and super heavy? The handle of about 4 inches appealed to me though. I knew with use of razors with stubby 3 inch handles I did not have the degree of control (unbalanced to me) I needed. I loaded a brand new Feather DE razor blade in it and vowed the next morning I would shave with it, but in doing so throw out the window everything the cartridge razor system had taught me. I knew I would have to "re-learn" how to shave to make this system work. For one, the plastic construction actually works for me much better than the purported benefits of the heavy weight metal models by increasing my control of the unit. What I discovered was that the additional handle length acted less as a gripping surface and more of a counter balance to the weight of the blade bearing head as I held the razor primarily between thumb, index and middle fingers. I decided I preferred the butterfly opening top instead of the removable cap some designs sport. Use a good shave cream. This is as personalized a choice as any, but a good quality shave cream is essential. Quality shave cream is a crucial friction reducer as the blade glides over skin. I prefer a canned cream such as Barbasol Aloe. Avoid the gimmicky, razor clogging gels. Blade angle. I maintained as well as possible a blade-to-skin angle of approximately 40-ish degrees, maybe slightly less. NO PRESSURE. I repeat, none. Cartridge razors encourage the application of pressure to maintain blade-skin contact and this is a bad habit cartridge blade users often carry over to their first efforts with a DE razor. There is no need to apply pressure with a DE razor. The blade is there, not inset below a box frame, so it does its work without requiring any pressure to efficiently slice your stubble. Short, even strokes. With box cartridge razors I had developed the bad habit of dragging the razor from ear to chin in one continuous stroke. Do not do this with a DE razor. Gradually work your way down (or up) in short, light strokes, maintaining and adjusting your blade angle as appropriate. Second passes. Never make a second pass (such as against the grain) without re-applying shave cream to that area. Another bad habit I had developed with cartridge razors I found I needed to break in order to succeed with a DE razor. Whenever possible, stretch skin flat and taught. When this is more difficult to do (around the throat in particular), make your strokes even MORE light and short. This technique alone will reduce or eliminate the vast majority of nicks and abrasions. Take your time! If you don't have the time, wait until you do to practice. Though once you have committed your technique to memory it will become second nature, avoid the initial temptation to treat DE shaving like it's a 2 minute and done cartridge razor shaving session. When choosing a DE system, expect to have to buy a few different brands of razors, blades and creams before you hit on the combo that works best for you. I did, and I stopped looking after buying this Feather and the Feather blades. I am now done with cartridge razors. Some may find the transition is easy, others will not, but no doubt when used correctly they are a highly efficient and extremely cost effective alternative to the "miracle" super duper, twisting, rotating, vibrating, pivoting razor marketing gimmicks pitched to shavers around the world at a substantial expense to your shaving budget. Review: Nicely built mild DE safety razor that works best with extra sharp feather blades - This is a mild razor, comparable to a Henson AL13, except it is made of stainless steel. It works best with a very sharp razor blade - I use Feather shaving blades with this razor and get a very smooth, efficient shave with no nicks or cuts or razor burn. The razor is very well made and it is well machined - the tactile feel while holding it and while shaving is very good. The handle is nice and grippy and long enough to maintain a nice even pressure while shaving. I can see this razor lasting for generations and am very happy with this purchase. ## Features - Double Edge Razor; Eco Friendly And Economical Razor; Created For A Modern Experience Of A Traditional Wet Shave; Safety Razor Featuring Complete Control Of A Close And Irritation Free Shave; Compatible With All Skin And Hair Types - Stainless Steel Blade And Plastic Handle; Lightweight And Comfortable Handle; Enables A Secure Grip; Disposable Stainless Steel Blades; Enable A Smooth Shave; Resists Heat And Other Impurities - Butterfly Head Opening; Easily Change And Replace Blades Safely With A Simple Twisting Mechanism On The Razor Handle; Provides A No Touch System Of Disposing Of Used Blades And Inserting New Ones - Safe And Wet Shave; Delivers Traditional And Close Shave That Is Superior To Multi Blade Shaves; With Innovative And Safe Technology Presented By Feather - Specifications; Black Handle Is Four Point Zero Five Inches; Weighs Thirty Four Grams; Includes Two Hi Stainless Razor Blades; Compatible With Feather Artist Club Pro Super And Pro Soft Guard Blades ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003YJ70NY | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #78,944 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #44 in Men's Safety Shaving Razors | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Brand | Feather | | Brand Name | Feather | | Color | Stainless Steel and Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 4,144 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04902470808109 | | Handle Material | Plastic,Stainless Steel | | Item Dimensions | 3 x 3 x 7 inches | | Item Weight | 4 Grams | | Manual Shaving Razor Type | Safety Razor | | Manufacturer | Derby International LLC, dba KANAR | | Manufacturer Part Number | F1-25-900 | | Material Type | Plastic, Stainless Steel | | Model Number | F1-25-900 | | Number of Blades | 2 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Type Name | Box | | Skin Type | Sensitive | | Style | Modern | | UPC | 735533258931 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Feather - **Handle Material:** Plastic,Stainless Steel - **Number of Blades:** 2 - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit Count:** 1 Count ## Images ![Popular - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lYZknTCuL.jpg) ![Popular - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61uVM-JQASL.jpg) ![Popular - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LSxfxRQWL.jpg) ![Popular - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SeKboJygL.jpg) ![Popular - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HrtxLEUXL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Hi, Do you know when I might receive my order? I was expecting it on Wednesday. Thanks** A: Sorry you never got your order. Expecting a new shipment in 2030. **Q: I currently use a gillette fusion blade using only warm water, no shaving cream. Could I do this with this razor as well without cuts and irritation?** A: Yes, you could. Everyone has unique beard density, hair and skin thickness and skin moisture, depending on their age, and genetic back ground. This razor is very similar to a cartridge razor in terms of its mildness and convenience. So, if you're comfortable shaving with just warm water using a Gillette Fusion razor, you can do the same with this razor. **Q: Is this thing an adjustable??** A: Someone said yes, this is adjustable. Presuming you mean the blade angle. It is NOT. The wings that hold the blade down are intended to be closed fully. If you leave them in any position other than fully closed, the blade will "chatter" and the likelihood of a shave without cuts and at minimum a lot of irritation, is low to none. **Q: Is the head made up of plastic and steel?** A: Mine is all steel, stainless, I suspect. I thought stainless was non-magnetic, but a small magnet attracts every metal part on this razor. Good. It won't rust (much). My razor does not have a "butterfly closure" head. The head must be completely dismantled to change or reposition the blade. Because the blade is not automatically "located" by the pins, I must loosely reassemble the razor to center the blade. This is simple. With the head slightly loosened, the blade can be positioned to produce greater blade exposure on one side and less on the other. Anent cuts, I posted a while back on this razor. I doubt any razor of this type is as "cut-free" as modern pivoting razors, though it may be my technique rather than the design of the razor. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am now a former cartridge blade user *by L***P on January 27, 2015* I first used a DE razor as an adolescent in the 70's but soon the proliferation of disposables and the development of cartridge razors made them obsolete.

It works best with a very sharp razor blade - I use Feather shaving blades with this razor and get a very smooth, efficient shave with no nicks or cuts or razor burn. The razor is very well made and it is well machined - the tactile feel while holding it and while shaving is very good. The handle is nice and grippy and long enough to maintain a nice even pressure while shaving. I can see this razor lasting for generations and am very happy with this purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Safe, and effiecint shave on thick coarse beards *by M***. on November 2, 2016* It is funny how we tend to go back to where we started on most things, when I was 15 my dad gave me his old safety razor, a Gillette tech safety razor, which served me well for over 10 years. I have moved up slowly to more and more aggressive blades and 35 years later have been using a Muhle R41 since 2011. Well I have been looking for a new razor, and had decided to get a "milder" everyday razor since my 13 year old daughter has taken a liking to shaving with my double edged safety razors instead of her mother's 5 bladed wonders. as I was looking around I found the Seki Edge Feather All Stainless Steel Double Edge Safety Razor (AS-D2), and when I found I could buy it for just over $100.00 with a discount I bought it. I read a lot of review saying that it was a very mild razor and was not good for cutting thick coarse beards, one guy on YouTube even did a video saying feather AS-D2 fail showing him run his finger over the blade and not getting cut. I have a very thick coarse beard (can we say bailing wire with an attitude) So when it arrived I was not expecting a whole lot of close shaves from it, well now that I have been using it for over a month I can say the bad reviews are wrong, and just show me that you will get out of this razor what you put into it. My first pass was smooth and very mild (I barely felt the blade or razor) to say the least but did not get me that super close shave, my first thought was the reviews were right, my second thought was why did I not feel or hear the blade, the Muhle R41 sounds like you are scrapping a chalk board with your nails on my beard. I remembered reading a review that stated "you can get any razor to shave if the razor is able to present the blade to the skin correctly" so I soaped up again and closely watched my technique, this razor really likes to be held at a steeper angle than any razor I have ever used (yes using really aggressive razors has made my techniques pretty bad), once I took my time and made sure I could feel the top cap, bottom bar, and blade touching my face this razor came alive, it sings (it is kind of hard to explain but it has almost a hum to it) and glides very smoothly, the angle is easy to keep, and the blade does a great job of giving me a BBS shave after two passes and a cleanup. Unlike the Muhle I can buff a trouble area without fear of cuts or irritation. I have used this razor with every blade I can find, from Feathers, Wilkerson blades, gems, Derby, to CVS specials, just to see how it does and for the most part it delivers a clean shave. With Feathers, Wilkerson's, or Personna red blades this razor gives me 4 to 5 clean 3 pass shaves per blade. That is better than the 2 to 3 I get from the Muhle. So what I have learned is this is a great razor, if you cannot get it to shave clean then step back and recheck you technique. If you can hear it sing and feel the blade, head, and bar then keep that angle and have fun, once you get the feel for it this is a very fast, and efficient razor that is safe to use every day. At 5 a.m. after a long night, where I am half awake and not paying attention I can still pick this razor up and get a close shave fast, with the Muhle R41 I have to give it my full attention all the time or it is a blood bath. I would not call this a mild razor as much as a safe razor (since it will give a BBS shave with less fear of nicks and cuts) it is a very efficient razor for sure, put in a sharp blade and you can get a fast clean shave every time, everyday, once you have trained your mind and hand to the new angle this razor askes for. If you can afford it then do not listen to the bad reviews, The workmanship is second to none, the fit and finish is awesome, the balance and weight are perfect, and the shave is safe and efficient. If you have a thick coarse beard put in a Feather blade and enjoy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Feather Popular Double Edge Safety Razor - Feather Double Edge Safety Razor Blades - (50 Count) - Platinum Coated Hi-Stainless Steel Razor Blades - Fits Most Safety Razors - Super Sharp for Close Shaves - Japanese Quality - Proraso Refreshing Shaving Cream for Men --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1550398-popular](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1550398-popular) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
