Razor: Stadet (Stahly head + Cadet handle)
Blade: Feather (1)
My new Stahly razor felt quite nimble paired with a shortish Cadet handle; still haven't decided which handle to best pair with it. The last time I used this head I loaded it with a Sputnik blade but it was a bit mild so added a shim. This time around I reached for a Feather thinking it will give more aggression. I guess it did slightly. Unlike most others I find that a Feather doesn't make that much difference to the shave except perhaps more irritation. Today's shave was smooth and much closer than I thought whilst shaving; almost BBS but not quite close enough. Tomorrow I'm going to shimmy.
Hiya doin,
I actually like seeing that combo. It's a handle I wouldn't have thought of using myself. It's one I wasn't very familiar with.
As you know, a heavy handle can give you more bite so that's what I'd suggest for your selection. The head's pretty heavy (30g) so it can take some weight pretty well balance wise.
Sounds like the Feather did a nice job, just maybe not life changing.
