Has anyone used both the Feather Popular and the AS-D1 razor, and if so, how does the AS-D1 compare to the Popular as far as closeness/aggressiveness is concerned?
I just took delivery today on a $7 used (I couldn't tell) Popular and like the shave, I'm actually very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the razor, considering it's plastic components...
I've been eyeing the AS-D1 for some time and am just curious how it compares with the extra weight etc. I understand the head geometry (Blade angle/gap) is pretty similar between the two, but I also realize that extra mass will do wonders for cutting through whiskers etc. and it also looks from pictures at least, that the top cap of the AS-D1 appears to be thinner. (which is a good thing AFAIAC)
