It seems from reading comments on various content creators about shaving that people press too hard with the razor because they’re using a semi dull blade. Then when they try a Feather blade, they continue to use the same amount of pressure. The absolute beauty of the feather blade is that it is so sharp one does not have to press so firmly to get the blade to cut the whiskers. This intern causes less irritation, and the blade actually last longer to get more shaves from Every time I see a comment about how dangerously sharp Feather blades are, I just think to myself, the blade is definitely sharper than you. 😅

YMMV, but for me, a daily shaver with a light gray beard, coupled with a feather blade, the ASD2 is my go to razor. Well balanced and 3 passes leave with with a BBS shave. I agree with other comments that it’s a mild razor, but does the trick. For me, the value for the price is well worth it. Thanks to Geofatboy for all the great vids and wonderful service.

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.

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.

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.

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.

@@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.
