    Thumbs up Feather Portable arrived

    Oh my, this thing awesome. It looks tiny, but once together feels like a Tech with a skinny handle. For me, the size is perfect and if I really want to, I can put a Tech handle on it.

    I got a great deal from a generous member, Dale (dalecooper51). I have to publically thank Dale for such an awesome deal.
    Here is what was in the package:



    He asked me if there were any blades I'd like to try, I expected to get a couple of blades, not boxes of blades.

    How small is it? Here it is sitting on a debit card.



    Lens began to fisheye.



    Between a Tech & NEW.



    FrankenTech & FrankenFeather.



    Cool razor, gonna take it out for a test drive.

    NICE! I had one of these once, sold it, now I've been wanting one again and can't find one.

    I think you'll like it.

    No worries John.

    I'm glad it got there in one piece and hope it gives you many nice shaves.

    That looks like a great travel razor. I might need a travel razor some day! Where do I get one?

    This is a great little razor.

    I got one of these when I started wet shaving and put it away as I acquired some of the other "classic" razors. I pulled it out again last week and got a fantastic shave with it. It's actually going to replace my DE89L in my rotation, at least for a while

    My favorite part is the blocky 70's styling of the handle. It reminds me a little bit of a light saber handle from the original Star Wars.

    The extra blades were very generous of your seller. Everybody's happy!

    You need to be really lucky to find one or have one find you. They stopped making them a couple of years ago from what I've read. I keep an eye open for them because there're quite a few people looking for them.

    I'm very happy with mine and I do indeed use it as intended, carrying it in my shave bag when away
