Yes imo it is all that and it most certainly is as good as some think.is it all that ?
is it as good as some think ?
and if so what makes it better than the rest ?
I know i'm very inexperienced but i can't think it's so good,
Now don't get me wrong i'm not saying it's not good i just don't get the hype, maybe i'm spoiled as it's the first DE iv really tried.
my wife bought me a cheap Benny's of london and i can't seem to feel much of a difference although it's maybe just me

...I've not used the Benny's but I presume it is a DE89 clone, which is middle of sorts for efficiency...
The RazoRock GameChanger (£58) is also all CNC machined marine stainless so I am not sure why the Feather costs so much.Thanks for the reply's lads. i think the general consensus is it's class, i just thought i would ask the question. yes it's made of stainless and not injection moulded but i still fail to get the hype.
£230 mine cost me which is £30 for the stand.
is it worth it ? yes it is to me only because i can afford it, whether it out performs razors i might be in the future remains to be seen. i do use it at a 45 degree angle and i genuinely think it's my fault i'm not getting it right.
in layman's terms i get a better shave with a cartridge although i'll never go back to that way of shaving. I think i might need to try something more aggressive just to compare
Different steels different prices i would assume but i'm no expertThe RazoRock GameChanger (£58) is also all CNC machined marine stainless so I am not sure why the Feather costs so much.

are you sure ?Yes, different steels and production methods:
RazoRock use CNC machined 316L stainless steel (Marine Grade)
Feather use metal injection moulded stainless with a chrome plating
Metal injection moulding is much cheaper than CNC so the price difference is still a mystery to me.
What website is that mate ?The price difference will be in part due to the strength of the Japanese Yen ¥ plus import costs and VAT, plus a markup for who you buy it from. In June 2016 I could get 10,000¥ for £50 the price today is £74. I can buy the ASD2 (with stand) here for ¥18,525 delivered which includes the 10% Japanese tax.
Tony (that's) very good of you & much appreciatedI love my AS-D2, however it's an easy shaver, you could stick an angry Samurai in there and still get an unloved shave, no skill required at all.
If you would like to try a " Safery razor" that actually involves you in the experience I would go for an SE. Vintage are brilliant. If you fancy having a pop, pm me
