Geofatboy's Everyday Shave #11 Feather All Stainless ASD2 Razor

[@MrPleers]

The Feather AS-D2 is my favourite razor in my collection. I have the Rex Ambassador as well. But it is this one I get back to every time. So comfortable. Yet effective.

[@geofatboy]

It is somewhat of a work of art. Enjoy!

[@tugboat8475]

How would you compare it to a 34c thanks

[@williammanico2359]

Watching you has really improved my technique. I can now have as fast with the DE as with the Mach 3.

[@geofatboy]

That's great! Glad I could help.

[@UniversalExports]

My daily driver for the past 5 years Geo. love this razor. I dont get along with the blades though, Astra SP, Gillette platinum are awesome. However i do have a little play in the razor head ..

[@davesheppard8797]

Mine has play in the head too. I sent my first one back because of blade alignment issues and the replacement isn't much better! I have sensitive skin but have to overshave with this razor to get smooth. So a more aggressive razor scraped less on my face is better. Also, with all the quality Stainless razors out there now the AS-D2 is no longer the Rolls Royce of razors. The Blackland Blackbird, or the Karve Christopher Bradley or the Masamune's are much better razors and basically any razorock will wipe the floor with the AS-D2. Dave.

[@geofatboy]

Do you have the original version?

[@davesheppard8797]

@@geofatboy I have had 3 AS-D2 's Two I still have. Neither align the blade very well. I bought my first one about 2 years ago...maybe 3. Any one of my 5 Razorocks are better. The Razorock BBS is fairly mild but Shaves much better than my AS-D2. My Blackbird feels as close as a straight razor. Dave.

[@tugboat8475]

I'm going tomorrow to look at a secondhand one. What do you mean by a little play. So if I take a razor blade with me, what am I looking for? A wobble in the screw and head or a wobble in the placement of the blade. Thanks

[@johngoard8272]

This is my go-to razor Geo only I prefer a milder blade such as a King C Gillette but I have had some good results with the Gillette Silver Blue blades too.

[@Falkenstadl]

A very fine presentation. Thank you!

[@geofatboy]

Thanks Falki!

[@joaonevessantos]

Hi Geo! Could you do a comparison shave between this Feather ASD2 and the Edwin Jagger 3one6 razor? They look very similar and I was curious to know if it does give an equivalent feeling shave. Love your videos and your easy going positive mood!

[@BartBuzz]

Great series of everyday shaves. I love GFT shave cream. Best shave cream out there...IMO of course. Very easy to face lather and I only need about a 1/4 tsp for 3 passes and pickups.

[@killalllamas]

do you suggest the shaving cream tub or the tube?

[@BartBuzz]

@@killalllamas I have the GFT (the lemon scent) in a tub. You get 7.05 oz compared to 2,5 oz in the tube for a much better price. And for me, I find tubes harder to empty. Great shaving cream! Creamy and slick.

[@geofatboy]

Thanks Bart!

[@dinalobanik2802]

Thanks for the honest review. Will it work on a person with wiry beard? For regular shaving of course.

[@geofatboy]

Yes-For every day shaving

[@edmundworrell1864]

Love this razor

[@Sozialkompetenz]

Bought it. Everything is like cotton candy 🍬 Compared to the Mühle R41 Stainless Steel, the Feather caused more irritation because it was super smooth, but not quite effortless. Maybe I need a few more shaves, but so far I’m fine, but not impressed. Awesome Video though ❤

[@tipexx7052]

I also have a synthetic brush. How do you keep it warm the entire shave. Love the softness.

[@geofatboy]

The only way would be to dip it in hot lather before each pass.

[@terrym1065]

Great shave using the AS-D2S🪒💈GFT creams are a delight to use, scents and performance are quality. Nice and smooth, no issue results in this one Geo, can see why many people like this razor. Thanks for the daily shave once again, take care in that crazy city....Enjoy!

[@geofatboy]

Thanks for your input Terry. Yes-it is pretty crazy at the moment. HP is 10 minutes from me...

[@kwl189]

It’s expensive and it requires a particular angle to be used properly which requires an adjustment to be made to technique, it is however right up there with the perfect shave for the every day shaver. 3 passes for a BBS and irritation free shave. Maybe the Henson AL13 comes close to its finish and fit with also a mild shave but that’s probably about it. This is quite an exclusive product and specific in its purpose. It’s not going to rip through multiple days of growth the same way a slant or R41 would.

[@geofatboy]

It's just a matter of finding the sweet spot with any razor. You can feel when it's cutting and when it's not. Definitely not rocket science. After a couple shaves you got it!

[@kwl189]

@@geofatboy indeed it is. 40 degree angle is the sweet spot I found. It’s more about holding that angle on different parts of the face.

[@MrPleers]

45 degrees angle. I got used to it fearly quick.

[@petroscoins5807]

Dear Geo this is just to inform you that I have shaved with ice-cold water from a to z I mean soap, shave, rinse believe me it was amazing, no cuts no irritation at all.

[@geofatboy]

The proof is in the pudding!

[@julioserrano3672]

Hi geo for you what is the best adjustable razor right now on the market . I like wet shaving and i always shave bald head and face. I also have sensitive skin. What you recommend me youre truly opinion. I love youre videos. Godbless you always and your family.

[@icecold2042]

Nice razor, but for that kind of dough it should come with a Geisha to shave you! 😂😂👊

[@geofatboy]

And walk on your back afterwards!

[@devildante9]

I have tested many safety razors, and the only one that really did it for me was this one. I have super sensitive skin, and even with this one I nick my neck every other shave. I pair it with a Wilkinson Sword blade, the Feather ones are too aggressive and I always nick myself with those, but the Astras are too mild. Worth every dollar, I'm not a teenager so I don't mind going the extra mile and getting a premium product that I'm going to be using for the next 30 years.

[@geofatboy]

Sounds like you found the winning combination! Enjoy!

[@tugboat8475]

How is the razor going now, one year in. Cheers

[@devildante9]

@@tugboat8475 Is going strong still! I have dropped it several times, but other than a scuff to the logo there's zero damage. The wilkinson sword blades I mentioned was a pack of a hundred, I still haven't gone through all of them, I can use them for 3 or 4 shaves no problem. The only nitpick I have is that I wished the handle was a bit longer, I know most people like their handle short though.

[@saucelove]

My face hair is thick, I wonder if it will work good for me....

I got the WS-D2S on Mercari for just $120. It’s roughly $400 off popular website but I lucked out. It’s a resin coated wood handle instead of all stainless steel but omg it feels amazing. My search for the perfect razor is finished and I couldn’t be happier :) 🪒

[@geofatboy]

I've got a few vids with that one already. Besides they can no longer supply us with it.

[@62shalaka]

It's a top tier razor, that is certain.

[@Orto-db4wh]

Mine has such bad blade centering that I don't use it anymore, I use my .84 Game Changer, it's always perfect. I feel like I got ripped off.

[@vargaslc2]

Does it matter which side is up when you drop in the blade?

[@geofatboy]

The blades can go either way.

[@meidamx]

Get some.

[@geofatboy]

[@ahmadadam5182]

that razor is too rich for me. i have only rediscovered DE shaving after more than 30 years putting up with overpriced disposables … bought a Merkur 34C and a Razorock SLOC with some Wilkinson Sword and Gillette blades … and an Italian cream to boot … after the first shave, i was literally speechless thinking of the 30 lost years …

[@josephmarzeno3694]

Love the video but that razor is way too mild beautiful looking feels good in the hand but two mild

[@geofatboy]

Thanks Joseph.

[@brianstreet2123]

I was all in till you said Japan!

[@dan_mer]

The razor is way, way too mild and I have sensitive skin. There are at least 20 Merkur, Muhle and Timor models that make more sense. In fact, you can buy 4 German razors for that money.

[@patrickpettyjr.3134]

Based on your opinion and skin type.

[@Burris19D]

I have a cheap Feather Popular and I bet they are very similar. I agree, too mild even on my sensitive skin but it's not bad if you don't care about having a really close shave. My daily at the moment is the R89 which I find much smoother shaving then the Merkur 34c and 23c models (less drag). I've tried a few others but none that stood out. Have a Henson Medium & Rockwell 6C on order so am hoping I find one I like even better then my R89. But for anyone that wants a really mild razor, or wants to try one out. Buy the Feather Popular first for $18, then if you like it you can pick up the expensive Feather razor.

[@dan_mer]

@@Burris19D Yes, they are. There are two models od Feather Popular, one with a plastic handle ($15) and one that looks like a Parker ($35). All three have identical aggression. These razors force you to press, which negates the purpose of DE razors. Most people switch to DE razors to avoid irritation caused by cartridge razors. If you press hard, that is worse than using a Mach 3.

[@geofatboy]

Still a very popular every day razor and a lot of people love it!
