First thing i thought was how small it is , the finish to the plating has no imperfections that i can see and the rubber/plastic handle looks fine .
i have seen a feather RG in the flesh and apart from the handle the plating looks exactly the same.
All in all for the being under a third of the price of the RG these have got to be a super bargain
Never used a straight or one of these before so bought some proguards (in the belief i would be safe).
First thing i found when i was all prepped up and ready to go was i had not got a clue how to hold the razor to my face (watched countless videos)but still didnt realise how hard it was to get my hand in the mirror to put the blade where i wanted on my face.
Anyway after a bit of trial and error managed to do a single pass wtg , loads of blood but suprisingly after some cold water and alum it stopped and i could not see any nicks.
Didnt want to risk another pass as i'm off to the pub tonight and didnt want to look too scabby so finished with my de.
Not going to risk using it in the morning before work , but cant wait till next weekend to have another go , took the blade out and i am practicing the angles on my face at the moment.

The first rule with feather blades -
DO NOT USE ANY PRESSURE - let the weight of the razor do the work, also keep the angle low, start flat on your face and raise it up about 20 - 30 degrees.

Did you notice any improvements?
pugh-the-special-one said:I can get a one pass super smooth shave from a Feather DX loaded with a Feather Pro blade with three days growth, I can also get a super smooth shave with a traditional straight razor with three days growth but not with a single pass, those Feather Pro blades are fantastic, with up to 15 shaves from one blade.
