I bought the Feather Popular as a tryout DE thinking if I don't get on with it, I've not lost much - for the price, I defy anyone to buy a better DE; this will now be my travel razor of choice.

Going to have to get one now, aren't I?

are we just enabling each other or what leslie! i have to admit its a briliant razor my friend. I have recently acquired a gillette tech, gillette superspeed and having tried to cancel the futur order without success have returned it to the vendor. All I can say is the weight, smoothness, aesthetics and performance of the EJ is better than what ive tried so far although i havent had a huge amount of experience.

Leslie145 said:Ahem - given your current collection, can I refer you to a post made just under a month ago?

And yes - we do appear to be justifying each other, just a tad...

2 here as well, also bought within the last 5/6 weeks - I too really like the Feather Popular, cracking value & quality for the money; the other is a 1963 Gillette slim which given its age gives a beautifully close & comfortable shave - really glad I bought it, especially as I obtained it for just above the price of a new DE89
Nishy said:I kept the futur instead of sending it back, somewhere on TSR I read (think it was Ian) that its something most get so may as well get it, so I kept it. Had a shave with it yesterday nice razor - nice shave, the head wasn't too big but the process of adding and removing the blade was awkward and dangerous

Also the EJ89 is cheaper

Believe it or not it's actually in edgware/stanmore, it's called the seven acre lake, they don't allow motorised boats I do have a couple of rowing boats but tend to fish from the bank. being private the fish are massive, I have oby caught roach however have seen te Baliff catch a few carp. My best haul has been 27 roach in an hour and a half!
