Feather All Stainless AS-D2 Razor Shave & Review

[@stellarproductions8888]

Geofatboy, I want to personally thank you for not only reviewing the razor, but demonstrating how to properly use it, and the angle you need to use. I am brand new to safety razor shaving, and I bought the Feather AS-D2, your video helps me out. Thank you!

[@geofatboy]

My pleasure! I'm glad I could assist!

[@reaperofxenos7525]

Nice to see an American giving metric measurements too, I mean I can use both but metric is the go to. Great review thinking of picking one up as a Christmas pressie for myself.

[@byrnedes]

Bought after watching this review, love it and it immediately became my favourite.

[@geofatboy]

Good choice!

[@Daniel-qr1zf]

I own this razor and love it. Very smooth shave; you don't even realize it's cutting hair until you check in the mirror.

[@geofatboy]

Exactly how I felt at first!

[@profesam8457]

Love my ASD2. Since getting it I have stopped drooling over any other razors. Theres no improving on perfection. And I use that Spanish Leather every day. It was like watching myself shave. Nice video, thanks!

[@geofatboy]

Actually-I was having an OOBE Out Of Body Experience while shaving here too!

[@violet-kittychick]

This razor is by far the best for us girls to use as a double-edge safety razor blade razor as well!! I bought one for my housemates BF and sometimes we use it with new blades as well and by gosh is it good and so few cuts!! The Japanese really know how to make a quality product hey!!

Geo, I absolutely love your reviews and as a Milwaukee native, I'm glad to see a good and awesome guy from Chicago always excited to share shaving products and insight with viewers. Mainly thanks to you (and some others), I've gotten away from cartridge shaving and moved over to DE razors (I own a Rockwell 6C and am getting a 6S in the mail) and I've never been happier. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for all of your awesome videos and lighthearted humor and great approach to shaving. You're an awesome and classy guy and I truly appreciate you. Be safe and have an amazing weekend. 😊

[@Phessington]

Bravo ! Excellent review. I recently bought this razor and I am glad I did. First of all, it really is an object of beauty. Secondly if you have sensitive skin it will never cut or nick you. Thirdly it is well made and presented. I still have a soft spot for the rest 34c though. God bless you and your family Geo.

[@geofatboy]

Thanks Vigilius, for the request and the nice comments. Enjoy and take care, you are correct on all 3 counts.

[@Max-tm5mi]

Hi Geo! After many many years of shaving with "5-blades" I saw your site and your videos. And to be honest you inspired me trying out differnt razors a couple of weeks ago. Now I love shaving day by day. I already own 3 safety razors (Merkur Futur, Merkur 570 and the great Mühle R89) and one straight razor (A.P. Donovan) which I`m not yet very familiar with. Looking forward to seeing much more of you I send my best regards to you from Austria (not Australia; we do not have any kangoroos :-). Max

[@sajjadhusain4146]

Ever since I bought it in January this year, the Feather AS-D2 has become my Top 3 favourite razor. I love stainless steel razors best anyway. And the AS-D2 is clearly a keeper for a lifetime. Superb build quality, finish, style, weight, and the shaving performance is just right on the money. I’m used to (and quite enjoy) aggressive razors and I don’t think this one is actually mild at all. Again, it might be the angle factor. Before buying it, I watched a few reviews and some commenters all seemed to recommend a steeper shaving angle (say, 45 degrees) to get the optimal shave with this razor. It turned out to be quite right in my experience. When done that way, I get a medium to pleasantly aggressive /efficient shave every time. I always use my usual trio of either Feather, Kai or Perma-Sharp blades with this one. The AS-D2 is pricey but very worth its price tag.

[@Rood67]

Greetings. I see that you list the Kai blades in your comment. I looked at this; and wasn't sure about them. I'm a diehard, fanboy, lifetime user of Feather and Feather only. Which is why I was interested in this razor. However, I was curious about the Kia blades to use in one of my other razors. What is your opinion of these blades? Amazon reviews are all over the place. People love 'em or hate 'em.

[@sajjadhusain4146]

Rood67 ...I love them. Kai, like Feather, are more expensive than all the other blades. But the price is worth it. In my experience, Kai is almost as sharp as Feather, but definitely a bit smoother all round. So you get a very nice combination of great sharpness plus comfort. The blades also seem to last longer than Feather. If I could only have just a single brand of blade, I’d probably still choose Feather, but Kai is right up there in quality and satisfaction. In my opinion, of course. I’d say go for it, buddy. I reckon you’d love them.

[@Rood67]

@@sajjadhusain4146 Thank you for the reply. I'll pick up a pack and see how they are. As I said, I'm diehard for Feather; however, in the slant razor that my mother-in-law gave me from my father-in-law's collection this past Christmas - I find I'm getting a little burn after shaving. To counter this, I use the slant on the first pass, and my Pawn Stars TTO for the second and third. The slant gives me near BBS with the grain in one pass; yet, my whiskers are very coarse. So I have to have the extra passes; which gets me to where I only need to shave twice a week, most weeks. I have discovered the wonders and joy of using pure coconut oil as a pre-shave. I think from your description, using Kai blades in the slant may smooth out the experience. I keep looking at razors and reviews like this one, but I cannot justify the cost for some of these when I have good razors already.

[@sajjadhusain4146]

Rood67 ...Yea, try out the Kai blades. One pack of 5, for starters. I think it’s very likely you’d like them a lot. And like you, I still love Feather best. Your talk of the slant razor reminds me that I never had one. I’m curious and keen to try one out this year. The only razor that gives me a near-bbs with a single with-the-grain pass is my Muhle R41 Grande. As for the very expensive razors, I cannot disagree that the high prices are hard to rationalise, when obviously they aren’t multiple times superior in terms of shaving quality compared to the inexpensive, or decently priced razors out there. I bought the Feather AS-D2 because I’m very fond of SS razors; the reviews of it were overwhelmingly glowing, and I couldn’t resist because it was after all Feather. 😀 So, I decided to splurge one last time and promised myself to buy no more razors (I have eight) - another three are also SS (EJ 3ONE6, Rockwell 6S, Rex Envoy, and now the AS-D2). I just think once in a while if one can afford it, it’s great to spend top dollar on at least purely aesthetically superb razors like this Feather AS-D2. And like I said, it’s a wonderful shaver too. I’m glad I have it.

[@Rood67]

@@sajjadhusain4146 So I bought a double five pack of Kai blades from Amazon. They are extremely flimsy compared to the Feather blades I have. My slant razor is a two piece, and when I put the Kai blade in and tightened it down, there was good alignment; however, it sounded like I was breaking the blade in half. I don't find them nearly as sharp as a Feather blade. I had to constantly go back over the same area, from different angles. And that is after a complete three pass shave. I'm writing this reply around four hours after the shave, and my face still has a burning sensation in places. All of this sounds bad, but I think in my cheap Pawn Stars TTO, that won't bend the blade; these may do much better. I just don't think they are the right blade for such an aggressive razor. And that's what I was hoping to get is a milder blade to go in the aggressive slant to even out the shaving experience with that razor.

[@joelkarn6280]

My absolute favorite razor. BBS, literally every time.

[@youremybiggestfan]

Same here.. It was my first DE Razor. I was lucky to get it from a friend with a leather case included for 50 bucks.. I had no idea what kind of a razor it was.. i feel bad for the dude, he must have been desperate. Its not until later when buying more razors i realized this one was exeptional. Smoothest razor that never disapoints you.. This is probably gonna be the razor i will buy for my Nephew and hand down to future generations. Only bad thing about it is that it makes a bunch of other great razors look bad.

[@scottmichael3902]

@@youremybiggestfan I ordered a Rockwell 6s from West Coast Shaving (same as the 6c but in stainless and $99 not $50) I heard good things about the 3 reversable base-plates. But so far, the AS-D2 feels almost as if it has no blade.

[@youremybiggestfan]

@@scottmichael3902 @Scott Michael Yeah, i feel you.. I actually wanna order that razor.. I got the adjustable rockwell Model T.. I really liked it alot but its kind of a blessing and a curse to have had the Feather as my first. :D Its just seems near impossible to beqt.. Fits my face and whiskers perfectly, so smooth and gentle, youre right, like it doesnt even feel the blade. I like collecting razors and its nice to try different things. It is what it is. Although i dont know how optimal the Feather razor is for very heavy beard growths im surprised this razor isnt mentioned more. For me with its just the perfect shave, all stainless, sturey simplistic design, great grip.. No visible scratches, spots and nicks to obsess over. Absolutely worth every cent and a razor that could last a life time or be passed down to your children as their first DE safety razor. Perfect for a beginner too, even though they can probably get a bit dissappointed the next few razors they get. :D Take care

[@jesperknudsen3285]

I bought this as an upgrade after using my first safety razor, Merkur 38C for a couple of years. Took a couple of shaves to re-learn all the angles - The AS-d2 got a rather narrow window for optimal performance, but once you get used to it it's excellent. However, the actual performance is neither better or worse than the Merkur. Threads are butter-smooth on both, the shave quality is identical (with the same blades), and both will last for the rest of your life if cared for. The Feather's superior materials may possibly make it a heirloom for several generations, but it won't affect the performance. Is it worth the pricetag (In Sweden, 5 times that of a Merkur 38C)? For pure performance, no. If you want bathroom ornament, or enjoy the knowledge that you're fondling a premium material, yes. Just don't fool yourself into believing that you'll get a better shave for the premium price.

[@geofatboy]

Try Monsavon soap as well as that is great for Sensitive skin. I find some of the heavily scented soaps/creams can irritate too. Proraso white (Sensitive) balm is fantastic for after your shave.

@@asquithallen Hi Asquith, how are your shaves going now Sir? I hope you have found a blade/blades and soaps that suit you. Kind regards and stay safe. Dave.

​@@davesheppard8797 Hi Dave! I've only been using Wilkinson's Sword with my razor of the same brand so far but branching out with an Amazon sample pack. I find the Proraso white is great, but I have tried Henri et Victoria Cognac and Cuban Cigars which is really good too. Using Executive Man from Stirling and West Indian Limes (Truefitt and Hill) is on the way. Thanks for checking in! 👊🏿

[@davesheppard8797]

@@asquithallen Is that the Wilkinson classic butterfly Asquith? If so, I own one but haven't used it for ages as it sliced me up badly both times I used it. I have been wet shaving for many years so it wasn't through inexperience. I will try it again at some point. Nacet blades are superb as are Gillette Silver blues and Gillette Platinum. The Gillette 7 o' clock range are good too. I've been buying A&E soaps recently and Castle forbes Lavender. All great soaps. I've bought quite a few new razors recently too, can't seem to stop buying them and they are all high end razors too!! 😟😟😂😂. Take care mate and stay safe, Dave.

Hello geo can you do a review of the vikings balde crusader or emperor

Feather AS D2 or EJ 3one6 or Razorock BBS

[@harveylrousejr1615]

Recently I have seen watched you demonstrate two premium razors, the Rex Supply Envoy and tonight the Feather AS-D2. Between the two ( I haven't looked at the price of the Feather yet) which is the best for a daily to every other day shaver. Medium to heavy beard. Keep up the great content! Customer service is awesome.

[@geofatboy]

Thanks Harvey! Both are excellent quality razors and durable stainless steel. They are so similar shaving I'd go based on budget or on eye appeal since you will be the one picking it up every day to shave with it!

[@alzriver1503]

Hello. Thanks for the video. Your way of shaving is very impressive. You make it so easy that it seems like it is, although I' truly know it isn't. If it is such a good blade, so versatile, capable and adaptable, I would like to know why from 1 to 10 do you only give it a 3. For me since I was in school, a 3 is a failure, and not only that. From 1 to 10, a 3 is very poor. Thank you

[@geofatboy]

The shaving method is simple, as it's meant to be. The 3 rating is for aggressiveness, meaning it's meant for milder beards.The overall rating of this razor would be closer to 10!

Hi. Edwin Jagger 3ONE6 vs Feather as-d2 ? Which one do you recommend?

[@davesheppard8797]

Hi Orhan, I own both and I would have to give the edge to the 3one6. The Feathers is extremely mild and I have to overshave to get smooth which leads to soreness. I have no problem finding the correct angle with the Feather which is the secret to a close shave. My Feather razor has just been returned as the top cap didn't sit correctly making the blade alignment wrong. The 3one6 is a more aggressive razor but it is superbly made and the blade alignment is always spot on. I would personally buy the all stainless 3one6 although I own the red handled version too. If you want a razor that's better than both of these, go for the Rex Envoy. Regards and stay safe, Dave.

How does this razor compare to the Edwin Jagger 3ONE6? They seem very similar.

Oops, I see you've already answered this question below. I should've read through the comments before posting, sorry.

What is that sticky pad made of (or called).. i was looking for something like that for my others?

[@geofatboy]

It's just a protective rubber pad with 3M self sticking tape on one side of it. You could probably find them in the hardware section at Home Depot.

[@marionroark8237]

wonder if anyone checks this anymore? if you do, you sold me on this product.

How to buy this razor in reasonable price ? This one is the costliest razor among all category

[@valleyshaverjohn2821]

Hey Geo, nice review. Nice razor but to pricey for me. I already have two SS razors and don't need to purchase another at this time. Like your perspective on all your videos, thanks. Enjoy the rest of the week.

[@geofatboy]

Thanks John! Not sure why but your SS made me think of a 69' Chevelle SS which is my dream car... Either red or black with or without white stripes! Vroom! Take care. Must be a midlife crisis!
