This guy is so good he could sell air to a dead skunk.

"Don't get into watches". This too applies to razors. lol.

I bought one of these when I was 19, cause I was tired of getting screwed by Big Razor

*me shaving in the Vaseline factory* “shut up Nick! You don’t know me!”

It's called Feather Popular Razor. I have it for almost three years now and I really like it. I use it almost exclusively with Feather blades. Ouches well above it's price tag ( I paid the equivalent of about 17 USD ). Also, mine came with a plastic carrying box, so that covers traveling too.

Thank you, Nick! I just got one of these delivered...my first double edge razor. Very happy with it. Very cheap, but built well and easy to use and clean. Thanks for the review!

I've been using this razor for about 8 years. It holds up well, though I'm gentle with it.

Always like your reviews Nick, the razor reviews are a nice surprise too. Hope you do more in the future.

💯 always use a DE razor like you say there is literally no reason to not do so. It is cheaper, less irritation to my skin, less nicks and cuts, and perhaps most importantly much much more effective.

Been using that razor for the last 10 years. Best shave

Oh hey, been using that one for a couple years. It's my first safety razor, works fine, haven't felt any compelling need to upgrade.

Interesting review. This might be a good thing for me to recommend to cheap friends who are interested in 15-25¢ blades, but blanch at spending ~$40 for a decent razor.

When I started wet shaving I found the Astra green blades were helpful to learn. I agree that feather makes the best blades though!

feather blades; are insanely sharp; couldn’t agree more sir!! Vokshod (sp?) Russian made blades are fantastic as well. Very hard to beat feather’s sharpness though; I started wet shaving with the Entry level Art of Shaving razor and bought my own Feather blades. I can also say that I’ve not cut myself as of yet; now I’ve gotten too close for comfort a time or two. I say that to let people know that it shouldn’t deter you from trying the wet shave method out; the results produced are sooo much closer and smoother than a Mach 38 or however many cheap edges they pack in a cartridge now a days. Great review sir!

I've been using a merkur future with feather blades for around 8 years now. Safety razors are a game changer.

As I've noted before, I owe my transition from cartridge razors to DE shaving to one of your videos. Personally, I prefer (more aggressive/efficient) open comb razors with with less expensive blades, like the Astra Superior Platinum blades that Bryan Wise mentioned or Shark Super Chromes. I'm a big fan of several different Razorock razors; their Old Type, SLOC, and they even have a couple CNC machined stainless steel open comb "Game Changer" models. Initially, I was drawn to "silo door" twist to open razors, but I've gravitated to more traditional 3-piece designs like those mentioned above. I was a bit wary of DE razors in the beginning, but once I learned some technique from watching various KZfaq shaving videos and gained experience, I haven't looked back. I've even tried a $1 razor from Dollar Tree -- it wasn't my best shaving experience, but I inspected it to ensure blade alignment and gap was OK and it worked. I've enjoyed shaving as a hobby; it's built confidence and, ignoring that I've collected a lot of razors that I've never used, I've saved a lot of money on blades.

Could you take off the metal piece at the bottom of the handle to access the plastic barrel and fill it with something heavy to make it suit your preference?

I would actually like to (please) see a review of the Merkur HD long handle and the Bevel safety razor.

I’ve had it for more than a year, worked just fine for me Btw, this channel inspired me to switch to a double edge razor. Now I enjoy shaving a lot more, I’m paying a lot less for it - and I can recycle the blades (it’s just steel) as opposed to razor cassettes

Thanks for sharing 👍🏼😊

It's weird, I bought 200 Feather blades when I started using DE razors (back around '04). They worked great for me for the first year, then they started feeling too harsh - I still have several packs left. I went to the bulk, Israeli Personna blades and I get much better shaves without the burn. My all time favorite blade is vintage English Wilkinson Sword... buttery smooth and oh, SO comfortable. After going through several new and vintage DE razors, I've settled on a 1959 Gillette Fatboy adjustable: I like being able to change the blade exposure for different blades and amount of stubble. I usually set it to "3" but if it's been a few days since I've shaved, I'll turn it up to "5" for the first pass, then back it down to "3" for the XTG and/or ATG.

Could you give your thoughts on the Wilkinson Sword safety razor - the metal one - and the blades?

is it aggressive or mild believe have 2 settings whats the difference between the 2

Alright Nick, you've convinced me to take the safety razor pill. I ordered a 23c. I'll be holding you legally responsible for any injuries I incur in the process.

These are about $6.50 here in Japan. I may grab one just to have in reserve. Also, how does this compare to the Qshave long handle? ($20 here in Japan.)

Is the shave in the plastic one the same as the more expensive metal one? If so, maybe I’ll try the cheap one. If I like it, I’ll spring for the more expensive model.

My Feather Popular is almost 3 years old now and still works fine. For me, Super-Max Super Stainless Bola is the best blade for this razor.

I'm a bit surprised Nick didn't immediately warn us to not get into watches as soon as he mentioned watches. Edit: I'm now on a third mortgage to afford more watches. Why did nobody warn me?!

I'd love to see you review the safety razor you can get at Dollar Tree. I'm looking to get a better one but I've been using one for months now.

Spot on review 😎👍. Thanks Nick... Get it? Nick..

All dislikes are from people who prefer to light $20 bills on fire when buying multi blade cartridges. 🔥💵

Much love from Switzerland

I haven't used a safety razor since Boot Camp in 1969. Both Harry's and Feather have been very popular lately, but I'm sticking with my electric.

I’ve used this. It’s a perfect entry-level safety razor, and it’s still leagues better than the garbage sold in stores.

I have been using one of these for around 20 years or so. There is no problem with the durability of the plastic handle.

I think you've partially covered this, but have you given any thought to doing a video on an entry-level setup for wet shaving? I'm also open to suggestions in general, this just seems like a reasonable place to ask.

Man you should do a review on the Rockwell 6s, great ss safety razor and prices very well, USA made also

This is a weird one. Great entry level price point stocked with the sharpest but least forgiving, newbie bloodbath blades. Maybe Feather needs to introduce the "First Timer Corked Edition" blade. They'd be Derby dull but have the Feather branding and a note about uncorking the potential...

I prefer the butterfly open, when I shave, after 2-3 pass, I open it up a little and pass it under running water to easily remove the hair.

I have had AS-D2 like you for many years and it is by far the best razor you can buy. It is almost impossible to nick yourself. Yes, it is pricey but in this case you DO get what you paid for.

I’m also a feather blade fan. I like the classic Gillette Fatboy and Slim razors and that is in part for the butterfly mechanism.

I should get a double edge razor. I have the rechargeable trimmer, the disposables (with 2 or 3 blades) and such but neither can give me a sharp transition from beard to clean shave where I want it. Trimmers are not close enough and you can't tell where the disposables are cutting until it's not there anymore.

was lucky enough to find my birth year down the the quarter, gillette super speed and super adjustable. My goto is an edwin jagger chrome lined de89 since it's a mild shave and I'm always in a rush. Like one wtg pass no brush lather hurry.

Feather blades are best .... but Voskhod are VERY close and cheaper

Thanks for the video- very informative. You should also think of making some voice-acting for pc games or audio books - your voice reminded me of the actor's who portrayed Ralphy in Mafia 1 game

Is this adjustable?

I probably won't buy this razor since I already have a 3 piece razor that I like a lot. I should definitely try feather blades again, though. When starting out I settled on Astra Superior Platinum (green box) as my favorite, but nearly 200 blades later I think I have the angles and motions down. Haha

I'm 18, I love mechanical pencils and I tried to search up how to shave efficiently finding out that shavers are similar to mechanical pencils. I think this can be another hobby for me

I gotta give this a try

I have a bunch of DE razors in my collection. But the one I end up using the most, a Schick Krona. It's my Granddad's razor, and it's a true gem to use. If I'm not running that one, I'll probably use a Fatbody'd three piece tech. TTO's (sans the Krona), I've not had great luck on. I got a bunch of different ones floating around, but the Schick is an underrated gem.

Nice razor ,review 👌 👍

When I shave I use a Edwin Jagger 3 piece with Wlikenson Sword blades, Feather blades are to sharp for me.

Thanks Nick, but I'll stick with my straight razor.

Review the American Twig safety razor please

I have a 1963 gillette. best value in shaving

should check out viking blades chieftan is great starter butterfly opening razor that can come with viking blades blades, i just uprgraded to their emporer

Love this razor vids, I got the Merkur sometime back thanks to your suggestion Nicolás. Ahora me rasuro la cabeza como si fuera una durazno🤣😂👍 Saludos amigo, aún tenemos asuntos pendientes.

How often are you in the Vaseline factory, Nick?

If it gets people out of buying the crappy cartridge razors then its got to be good, But I think spend a little more and get an Edwin Jagger, a Merkur or something similar and as you say, It will last a lifetime. I would say Astra blades are a good beginner blade, not too much of a blood bath when using them. Good review though.

Metal or plastic?

25¢ DE blades? Not awful, and some brands, like feather, have pricey blades, but I've purchased 100 packs for $7-12. Voskhods are great, and I like Gillette sharpedge yellow blades.

wet shavers check out RazoRock razors, the best bang for buck razors out there. I especially like their GameChanger .84 gap and their Lupo razor

Have you ever tried reviewing a ketchup popsicle? I can think of two companies that would love the surge in sales.😉

I use a Bic...........lighter. Keep feathering it brother!

...You get 2 weeks out of one blade?! I have to change them out every couple of days

I found the Feather to be too aggressive. Lord makes a fantastic 3 piece safety razor (not TTO).

"Feather blades are not forgiving". Oh yes. But they *are* the best. I like the handle length but dislike the weight. Merkur adjustable for me.

A DE blade won't last 2 weeks even if you shave day yes and day no, 4 maybe 5 shaves and also try Gillette Wilkinson Sword saloon pack they're way cheaper than feather blades

I've had the best of luck out of Merkur blades I think everybody's whiskers and beards are different mine are real thick and grow real fast I can grow a beard in 2 weeks

De shaving is the best 👍👍👍

This is a very good razor.

So its safe to say, that Nick does not have a beard :)

TSA to ban boots with metal shanks!

I just bought 200 feather razors for 42 euros because it was on sale

...lasts you two weeks. Dude, I wish it was true. I can use Feather blade once before it's too dull to cut the fiberglass I have for facial hair efficiently. That said, any other blade is completely out of the question as one is better than none.

i have one

Personally I like Mühle or Merkur razors, but this could fill the niche of a festival razor(as soon as festivals are safe again) or travel razor. If it gets stolen while you shower on a festival or with your luggage at the airport, who cares? Chances are nobody would even steal it, cause it is a cheap piece of plastic.

Nick, I'm a real man, my razor needs at least 7 blades all lined up in a row. It also needs to have a motor that makes it vibrate and causes the hair stand up and give me ASMR like tingles. I also demand 2 strips of some sort of smoothing lotion be attached to the top and bottom of the razor. Yes I know it wears off after one shave, but it's still gotta be there. Also, I'm not buying replacement blades that don't cost twice the price of the razor itself. You expect quality, that's why the replacement blades for a real man's razor are kept in a locked case. 30 dollars per box for a week and a half tops of shaving, that's how it's done. That flimsy metal shard you have will likely break upon coming into contact with my thick masculine beard.

Why would you buy a budget safety razor when there are still plenty of vintage, “Gillette Super Speeds” available. Troll eBay for a bit and you can easily snag one in great shape for $20. I literally have an example of every model year, to include the Parrots, Rockets and “Wide World of Sports” additions and I bet I spent less then $200. Most will polish up as good as new with a bit of semi chrome polish.

If you're paying more than 10c a blade (,even in Canada where we get screwed with everything), you're paying too much for blades

I use my dads late 50s gillette. Looks like the day he paid 69 cents for it.

I have a beard so I'm just shaving around the edges. I like the idea but it looks a little cumbersome for what I'm doing.

Can this thing shave Batman’s face ?

I find a DE razor with some weight shaves better

6:21 put razor plate on upside down....

I have a beard, no shaving needed... 😁

nick, i hate you, amazon is shipping one of these to me right now

“This is not the razor to carry in the Vaseline factory.” Uhhhhh.....

Don't get into watches....and just make sure your razor has great gription in the vaseline factory.

Blackland. Razorock. Timeless. Phoenix Accruments. Vintage gillettes...Dont get into wetshaving! Brushes! Soaps! Dont do it!
