is it true that the razor is designed specifically for the Feather blades?5 October
Wickham 1912 MagnumThe Feather razor divides opinion and positive ones seem in the minority. Well, I’m one of the minority. In the right conditions my Feather AS-D1 will give me as close a shave as the Mühle R41, famed for its aggressive nature. I’d note that the R41 is not that aggressive in my hand, just a little rougher than most, but that’s me… in the minority. A close and very comfortable shave this morning.

The razor probably was designed around their own blades, but, it’s not exclusive, any other DE blade fits. Unlike my Claymore Evolution which can only use Feather blades. I find the Feather blades a particularly fine pairing with the AS-D1, but that’s just me.is it true that the razor is designed specifically for the Feather blades?
5 minutes of beaver is enough for any manA return to a few weeks back and the artistic side of SOTD's. This one hence is declared as being themed, 'The persistence of memory' as stolen from Salvador Daley of Rochdale. A locally well known artiste of alcoholic beverages.

'Right. Formalities out of the way, time to get our kit off'
Shave of the year? Not far from it and an absolutely blindingly brilliant shave. I don't know why, but it certainly delivered perfection. And for a man of so many imperfections that takes a lot to admit to. So much so I am having to wear a barbed wire vest and whipping myself because of that sinful feeling.

Wait a minute. I am the Prince of Sinfulness. Sod that, have the vest back and your whipped cream at the same time. You were a bit off there love.
A sublime shave and thank you Mr Daley for the impetus over the choice of theme and cheers for melting my bloody razor.
As a sign off you can have 15 minutes of Beaver in 360 presentation
How did you manage to get hold of the EDT? Have to agree, it's a great lime scent.View attachment 111943
