I received a Feather Artist Club DX today from a member. I had a 4 day growth.
So today was my first shave with it. I only tried an actual straight once, and I didn't look forward to the hone/strop issues. I bought a Blackbird Vector Ti and decided that since I had the Artist Club blades anyway, I'd give it a go. I wear a Van Dyke facial hair style so I didn't have to worry about chin, or under nose.
I did pretty well for a first attempt. I have a - well I don't know what it is - bump, mole, something ... on my cheek and if I'm overly aggressive with a DE I can cut it, but I found it much easier to cut with the AC DX - So I'll need to work on that. And I only did one pass, top to bottom, and I often do two with the DE and the Safety AC razor. But not a bad start all things considered.
