Hullo Gents
When I was a kid, the saying went the Japanese imitated everything, possibly with improvements. Therefore it was a matter of time before I found a Japanese slanted razor. In this ase we're talking about a diagonal, but not quite.
The Feather 1500 reminds a lot of the Mulcuto diagonal razor. Similar grip, just about the same topcap. The baseplate however is rather different. In a sense, it is a Mulcuto with the head placed straight instead of slanted.
Another thing is the box. This razor can be found with plastic case, but a nice box like this is not as prevalent. The plastic ones have nailclippers though.
This razor is very mild. You can rake whatever you want, doesn't matter. It also has only one working shavingangle. Ride the topcap, let the humpback guide you (forcing you into a Gilletteslide, the only reason I call this a diagonal) and it will shave. Miss that angle by a fractoin and all you do is wipe lather.
A razor to improve my technique. Nice.
