Thread: Can the Feather Artist Club SS use DE razors?

Hi Guys. Noob here.
I started shaving with a cheap no brand shavette several years ago and loved it because my skin is really sensitive and my beard tough. So I decided to take the next step now and buy a really cool shavette. The problem is that I live in Colombia and none of the cool shaving products are available, so I would have order the shavette from overseas, and the shipments are a bit expensive.

I love the way the Feather SS foldable looks like and it has great reviews, and I can find it on eBay for about 70$ shipment included, but the fact that every time I need new blades I will have to order them overseas is a problem.

So the big question, is there any way to adapt, cut, or mod in any way a regular double edge razor so it can fit the Feather SS?

I wouldn't mind the fact that DE razors are a bit shorter than the feather pro, as long as I can get a shave. I've seen the dovo shavette but the plastic holder seems like it won't last too much and all other shavette I've seen just remind me of my el-cheap-o shavette I already have.

Thanks

no you have to use Feather or Kai blades,, just order 40-60 of them its a small package,, so much of this is mail order I don't care where you live,, we got guys who live farther away from civilization than you do Tc, also if your skin is sensitive you may want the Kai blades

Feather or Kai 50mm SE blades obviously fit. A 40mm SE blade from Personna, as used in a Schick Injector also fits, but is 10mm too short, so it's a poor solution.

... and to answer you question on a DE blade...... It does not work at all. I suppose if you had some means of accurately cutting the blade width down it might work, but then you're still stuck with a 40mm blade in the 50mm holder that is sub optimal.
