Popular Double Edged Blade Safety Razor Holder

I’ve used Feather razor blades since I started DE shaving, the are rightly known as the sharpest razor blades one can purchase. When looking at the Feather site, I spotted this inexpensive razor, The Feather Popular and decided to purchase it to see how it performed. As the fabled Feather All Stainless AS-D2 DE is £200 or thereabouts, this is likely to be my only experience with a Feather razor. The Popular is very light-weight having a plastic handle, which is long (10cm) and thin but grippy when wet, as it’s ribbed all the way round. At the top of the handle, there’s the metal ring to turn to open the “twist-to-open” head. This takes about five turns. The doors and central locking plate are metal, held in a black plastic frame, of the same material as the handle. The doors open fully and allow easy loading and unloading of blades. The doors close firmly and the blade is held securely with even exposure on both sides. There is a small amount of blade overhang at the ends. It comes in a reasonable clear, plastic box, with space for a blade pack, and included in the price is a 5 pack of Feather DE blades. Despite not being an all metal razor, The Popular does not feel cheap in the hand. When loaded with a Feather blade only weighs 37.9 grammes, it feels solid and well built. The lightness does however impact the shave as I found I put a little more pressure on the head during shaving, than I would for some of my all metal razors. The shave is mild but using the sharp Feather blade, very efficient, comfortable. There is no blade exposure feel, and you certainly don’t think you’ll be cut or nicked - I wasn’t during the three shaves I’ve had with it. All of those were excellent, BBS shaves with no irritation and it coped well with my problem areas, the lower neck and Adam’s apple. The only slight issue I found with it, was that due to the design, it soon clogs with soap, so it required rinsing more than other razors. That’s good in one way, as it’s so light and mild, I was tempted to use longer strokes than I should, which having to rinse it prevented. Overall, I’ve been impressed with the quality of the build and the shaves I’ve had from this inexpensive razor. It would also probably make an excellent first razor for someone starting out with DE shaving. If you’re already experienced, the Popular would make a great holiday razor due to its low cost.

I wanted to get into safety razors because cartridge refills are so expensive, only last a few uses and don't even do that good of a job. Nor did I want to spend much money on a handle if I wasn't sure if I'd like using a safety razor. I thought Feather was a good brand, and this was cheaper than a lot of other handles, so I opted for this. It's absolutely fantastic for the money. It's cheaper than a Gillette cartridge razor + handle multipack and lasts way longer with the razors in the pack. I'm not even factoring in the ongoing savings/environmental benefits from not buying cartirdge refills. It took me about two shaves to get used to it. I had a few nicks the first time, but since then I rarely (if ever) cut my face. The shave is far smoother than with cartridges and now it's been a a good few months and I'm very confident and rehearsed, I can shave my face faster than with a cartirdge razor. I used Arko soap originally which is nice-smelling and decent, but it started irritating my skin. I since switched to a L'Occitane shaving cream and my shaves are much more enjoyable. The soap/cream you use makes all the difference with a safety razor. I want to buy another safety razor, maybe one that's fully metal and compatible with a stand, but honestly I don't need to. This is such good value for money. The plastic handle gets a little slippy if it's wet or your hands are wet, but it's actually knurled so it's still grippy. For something this cheap it seems so well designed. That's Japan for you, right? If you want to get into shaving with a safety razor, you cannot go wrong with this.

For the money, it’s a very good razor. I put a feather blade in it & it gave a nice close shave. It works very well for an experienced shaver. But, for a novice trying to get the hang of things, absolutely ideal!. It is mostly of a plastic type of material, works very well nevertheless.

Sehr sanft, für mich zu sanft, aber das Teil macht richtig Spaß, für 20€ super deal! Preis-Leistung 10/10!

買ってから半年経ちました。余計な角質も削るのか肌がツルツルになりました。 お湯でひげを温めてしっとりさせてから剃ってます。 合っているのか肌荒れ等は一切ないです。 ただ新しい刃にすると死ぬほど切れるので１回目は特に注意が必要。 鼻の下や唇をうっかり触れただけで切りました。そして顔の血は派手で止まりにくい。 今は慣れて急いでいても切ることは無くなりました。人の適応力はすごい。 以前は数万もするシェーバーや４枚刃５枚刃のひげそりを使ってましたが 最初からこれが正解でした。削り出しの高い１枚刃もありますがこれで必要十分です。 値段では無いですこの商品こそが最高です。

I have been using both the expensive heavy razors and cheap Wilkinson Sword 2 blade wet razors for years - I am in my 50s. This razor is incomparably better - very close and feels very safe - not likely to nick me. Buy it
