I will be using my Feather Artist Club SS today with a 2nd use Pro-guard blade. My 1st Shavette purchase was of a Dovo that I purchased from EmsPlace. Even though Dovo discontinued their black holder for the longer blade, EmsPlace was the only place I found that was still selling the Dovo Shavette with the black holder as well as the red holder and I wanted that choice especially since the longer blade that goes into the black holder is closer to the length of a straight razor blade. Back to the SS; I originally purchased the SS from The Razor Company for $100 but they sold me the SR which goes for $160 by mistake. I let them know this because I really wanted the SS due to being a beginner and the more forgiving design the SS has over the SR.
I contacted them about the mistake and long story short they didn’t get back to me right away and I ended up using then keeping the SR which they were ok with but I still wanted the SS so I bought it on ebay from a guy in Japan for $63. Bottom line is I got the SS and the SR for $163 vs $260, which is what I would have paid locally if TRC didn’t make that mistake. But if no mistake was made, I probably wouldn’t have bought the SR and would have only spent the initial $100, but I’m glad I have both so I’m happy.
I also purchased a pack of Proline P30 blades from TRC and 2 single blades each of the 5 proprietary Feather AC blades from RBC, the razor blade club, as well as 1 single blade each of the three Kai blades, so I’d have some samples to try. So far with the SS I’ve used the Soft-guard blade twice and this will be my second time using the Pro-guard blade. I’m excited to shave today because I’ve got about 6 days of growth. So far I’ve been doing about a pass and a half with the Shavette and finishing up with a DE. I’ll probably be using my gold plated Fatip open comb slant, the Lo Storto or Picolli. The brush I’ll use will either be my 24mm Savile Row Silvertip Badger that I purchased from QedUSA or my 24mm Simpsons 57 Best Badger that I purchased from Shave Nation. I’ll be doing a face lather and using either my Martin de Candre Forage or a combination of 2 sample soaps I mixed together, Barbershop and Haverford, that I purchased from a very excellent and impressive company called Stirling Soap.
