I've been doing the DE shaving thing for about 3 years and it has turned into a hobby. I started off with the mild Edwin Jagger DE 89 and added the ultra aggressive Muhle R41 last year.
I've always had my eye on the Feather ASD2,but could not justify spending nearly 200 dollars on it. I found a deal on black Friday and picked it up for $119.
It arrived in a classy box. The first thing I noticed was the outstanding fit and finish. The 316 grade stainless steel exudes quality. The blade is always perfectly centered,something l cannot say for my other two razors. It shaves exactly the same from both sides.
My concern was that it may be too mild for my heavy beard. That has not been the case. Once l found a good angle and refined my technique with it, l get close shaves with very little irritation. Even with the ultra sharp Feather blades, l hardly know l am shaving. It seems this razor is a perfect match for Feather blades.
It takes more passes to get the close shave with this razor,but it is so smooth and enjoyable that l do not mind it,especially with the low irritation level.
It was an expensive proposition, but it will easily last a lifetime with the high grade stainless steel construction. I am satisfied with the purchase. I realize that it is not for everybody especially at its price point.
