The Artist Club series from Feather are the most advanced professional shaving razors on the market, designed for the needs and tastes of professional barbers. The series include three styles: the DX Razors, SS Razors and the newest addition, SR Razors. Each Feather Artist Club Razors style is available in two types of handles - folding and Japanese (non-folding). With so many options, choosing the best Artist Club Razor for your needs can be overwhelming. Check out this breakdown of the three styles and which type of barber they are best suited for.   Feather Artist Club DX Razors Feather Artist Club Razors don't get any better than a DX. The Rolls Royce of the Feather Artist Club razors, DX razor handles have the heaviest weight so the razor does the work. The polished concave head is made of SUS316 stainless steel and provides the ultimate shaving experience.  The DX tip is flat, making it the most aggressive head. However, the weight of the handle allows the razor to do the work, reducing the need to add pressure to the skin. The DX razor is best for experienced barber professionals who shave regularly in the shop or want to give a premium experience for their clients, though many non-barber shaving aficionados also like the DX models. Feather Artist Club DX Wood Folding Razor: Beautiful sustainable real dried wood and cured handle. Resin coated to protect the finish from fading or rubbing off. Retails for $280.00. Feather Artist Club DX Pearl Folding Razor: Gorgeous Japanese pearl white folding handle. Retails for $210.00. Feather Artist Club DX Japanese Straight Razor: Exquisite Japanese soft grip straight handle. Retails for $210.00.   Feather Artist Club SR Razors   The newest addition to the Feather Artist Club line up, the SR razors take the best of the DX razor and SS razor and puts it into one razor. SR razor handles still have a heavy weight but are slightly lighter than the DX models.  This heavier weight helps the razor do the work and reduces pressure against the skin, enabling smooth shaving and complete control. The sandblasted concave head is rounder and thicker than the head of the DX razor making it ideal for cutting thick, heavy hair. This roundness helps to push against the skin for a milder shave at the most optimal angle.  The Feather Artist Club SR razor is best for barber professionals who shave regularly in the shop and want to give a premium experience for their clients. Feather Artist Club SR Folding Razor: Super engineered resin handle comes in black, blue and pink. Retails for $165.00. Feather Artist Club SR Straight Razor: Silicone resin handle with anti-slip notches provides excellent grip to prevent slipping. Handle comes in black, blue and pink. Retails for $165.00.    Feather Artist Club SS Razors Feather Artist Club SS Razors are the most economical and popular razors offered by JATAI. Though affordable, the SS razors still maintain the high Feather quality. SS razor handles are lighter in weight and have a rounded ridge on the head that depresses the skin, raising the hair follicle to get a closer shave, reducing pressure against the skin for a milder shave. This makes the SS razor great for sensitive skin. The sandblasted rounded tip head is made of SUS317 stainless steel. Best for barber professionals who only shave occasionally in the barber shop but still want to offer a quality shaving experience for their clients. The Feather Artist Club SS Razor is also a great starter razor for new barber professionals or for home use. Feather Artist Club SS Scotch Wood Folding Razor: Sustainable scotch wood handle is made of real wood dried and cured for lasting use. Retails for $160. Feather Artist Club SS Folding Razor: Super engineered resin handle comes in black, line and wine. Retails for $99.95. Feather Artist Club SS Straight Razor: Beautiful Japanese soft grip silicone resin handle comes in black, lime and wine. Retails for $99.95. All Feather Artist Club Razors feature a spring mounted head with a one-touch mechanism for dismantling and cleaning, and are autoclave and disinfectant safe. The ultimate replaceable blade shaving razors, all Feather Artist Club razors use any of the five different blades available - Professional, Pro Guard, Super, Light and Soft Guard.

  You've finally taken the step to get yourself a Feather Artist Club Razor handle. Congratulations! But just when you thought your decision making was over you realize you have to choose a blade.  Yes, there are five different ones. But don't worry, we're going to break it down into an easy-to-understand way so you can make the best decision. By the end of this article, you will be able to more easily decide which blade or blades are right for you! There are five different Feather Artist Club Blades: Professional, Super, ProGuard, Light and SoftGuard. Each blade type has a slightly different profile which cater to different hair densities, hair thicknesses and safety levels. But before we get started, one note of caution. Please do not use double edge blades or any other type of blade in the handles. First off, the Artist Club Blades were made specifically for the Artist Club handles so they work perfectly in sync with each other. You have a beautiful, high-quality tool, so why cheapen it with a lower quality blade? Plus, it just looks bad when you see an improperly fitted blade in the handle. Secondly, Artist Club Blades span the full length of the razor head. When you use shorter blades in the handle, you increase the risk of cutting yourself or the client. Due to the corners being sharp, if you're not careful, this can scrape or nick the skin. And let's not forget the difference in blade exposure. The more exposed the blade is, the more difficult and awkward it will be to shave with it. Thirdly, Artist Club Blades will last a long time. Each blade can go through a full-face shave without changing the blade. Other blades tend to wear out quickly and having to do a blade change in the middle of a service is not ideal. Furthermore, neither Feather nor JATAI is responsible for any misuse of the product and using it in a manner that it was not meant to be used.   The Different Artist Club Blades Now that we've got that out of the way, let's go through each Artist Club Blade...   Professional Blades If you're looking for the most versatile blade that's generally good for all types of shaving, the Professional Blades are it. They can be used for full face shaving, necklines, outlining, lineups and more. This blade is best for someone who is experienced in shaving and does general basic shaves for themselves or their clients. It has a blade exposure of 8mm. For 20 blades in each cartridge, it's $14. That's $0.70/blade. These are the cheapest of all the blades.     ProGuard Blades ProGuard Blades are the same as the Professional Blades except they have a built-in guard for safety. This guard is tiny and visible if you look very closely at each blade. It doesn't interfere in the shave, but it will be less aggressive on the skin and help prevent nicks and cuts. This type of blade is great for someone who wants extra safety for themselves or their clients or barber students who are learning how to straight razor shave. This blade is a bit more expensive because of the added safety feature. For 15 blades at $16, this comes out to $1.07/blade.   Super Blades For those barbers and home users who deal with thick heavy facial hair, the Super Blade is the best choice. With the greatest blade exposure (8.2mm) this blade packs in some extra special shaving sauce that the other blades can't handle. You can use this blade on thick full heavy beards and mustaches without needing to trim them down first. It's amazing! Shaving with a Super Blade is...well...super. One Super Blade cartridge contains 20 blades and costs $16. This comes out to at $0.80/blade.       Light Blades On the opposite spectrum is the Light Blades. These blades have less blade exposure than the Professional Blades (7.4mm). Because of this, these blades are nice for shaving sensitive skin and reducing irritation. It's also good for women's shaving who often have light, thin hair such as peach fuzz. One cartridge comes with 20 blades and costs $16. This comes out to $0.80/blade.   SoftGuard Blades Like the Light Blades, SoftGuard Blades have low blade exposure. But they have an extra layer of safety with a built-in guard. These blades are good for using on sensitive skin, reducing irritation and women's shaving like the Light Blades. But with the built-in guard it's good for someone who wants the extra safety. It's $16 for 15 blades which is $1.07/blade. Now that you understand the differences, let's take a look at what's the same.   About Feather Artist Club Blades All Feather Artist Club Blades are made by Feather in Japan and fit all Feather Artist Club Razor handles. They all come in a cartridge that features a no-touch system for safety and sanitation that allows you to insert blades without touching them. On all the cartridges is a hole at the bottom which is for inserting used blades and for safe disposal. All blades are made of stainless steel and are put through a triple grinding process that allows for superior sharpness, quality and consistency. All blades also have a subscription option. If you're someone who shaves regularly, it may be of benefit to sign up for the subscription program to save up to 35% on blades. You can set the frequency and quantity to meet your preferences. See subscription options on each blade product page. A last note, you might want a couple different blades for different situations. The choice is yours! Once you've decided on the blade you want, the only thing left is your shaving technique, skin quality and wet good product choice (face wash, shaving cream, moisturizer).

TikTok has become one of the hottest places for hair professionals to publicize themselves on social media. Aside from Instagram, TikTok provides a slightly different way to present oneself. With the focus on shorter videos (and not on images), many stylists and barbers have shown what they can do with the platform. We've taken notice and would like to highlight some of influencers that have caught our eye, especially since they use Feather Razors. Hairstylists Randa Rivera @randa.rivera @randa.rivera Quick tip to remove bulk in a grown out mullet. I’m honored to be apart of the @jataifeather Styling Razor anniversary! Get 30% off all month!

She uses her Feather Styling Razor a lot and loves showing how to use it. Check her out.   Gilad Goldstein @myguiltycrown @myguiltycrown I love my @jataifeather Styling Razor to cut short internal shapes because it creates a soft edge with zero effort! The guard protects my fingers from being cut so I can cut precision shapes quickly and easily. For the longer lengths I will use the razor on wet hair to channel cut and create space which allows the hair to move freely and provides visual separation as well. This tool literally does it all! Check out jatai.net to see all their tools and get my favorite razor for 30% off for the rest of July!#featherrazor30yrs #jataiaffiliate #ad #haircut #haireducation #haircutvideo #haireducator #hairvideo #hairtutorials #hairtutorial #asianhair #razorcut ♬ Say So (Instrumental Version) [Originally Performed by Doja Cat] - Elliot Van Coup   Gilad shows quick haircutting demonstrations (usually on mannequin heads) to create all kinds of hairstyles. He adds in relatively fast narration to explain what he is doing and shows off the final look. If you're looking for quick tutorials, Gilad is your guy. He has a love for both scissors and razors and uses the Feather Styling Razor in many of his videos.   Marina Lantos @marinalantoshair @marinalantoshair Guarded feather razor haircut tutorial #hairtutorials #behindthechair #hairtutorialsvideo ♬ original sound - marinalantoshair   Marina is a skilled stylist. She does a lot of short demonstrations usually of a technique or a shows a small section of the haircut. Whether it's scissor cutting, razor cutting or coloring, she's demonstrating or showing something. Sometimes she uses mannequin heads, but most of the time she's showing real clients and their haircuts. She doesn't generally talk in her videos and sometimes they have no music either, so watching her videos are more of a visual experience.   Shay Mullins @shay.cuts.hair @shay.cuts.hair #featherrazor #hairtylistsoftiktok #salontok #hairstylistlife #sacramentohairstylist #razorhaircut #hairstylist ♬ original sound - soleil   Shay is an up and coming stylist.

AURORA) - Sub Urban   Meredith likes to do a lot of color but she slips in some razor cutting and haircutting once in a while. She does a lot of short tutorials on techniques. She doesn't really talk in her videos but she will use a lot of copy overlay to explain her points. While she loves to use her Feather Plier Razor, she gets straight to the point in her videos.   Barbers   Chris O'Riordan @chrisoriordanhair @chrisoriordanhair Razor work #fyp #foryoupage #hair #houseoftiktok #hairtutorial #howtocuthair ♬ Paris - 斌杨Remix   Chris specializes in men's grooming. As a barber, you can imagine he does a lot of clipper cutting, scissor cutting but also razor cutting. When a barber uses a razor in the hair, you know he's not your ordinary barber. Chris gives quick demonstrations on his short men's haircuts. Many revolve around sectioning, haircutting techniques, how to demonstrations and other hair related videos. You'll never hear him talk but likes to use popular music or sometimes no music at all.   Sofie Pok @staygold31 @staygold31 Is it easier to show clients what to do? #barber #staygold31 ♬ Spongebob Tomfoolery - Dante9k Remix - David Snell   Ok. Anyone in the industry knows who Sofie is. Needless to say, she is likely the most popular female barber today. With her tattoos and sense of fashion, Sofie brings a fresh female vibe to a barber industry dominated by mostly men. Sofie likes to create videos where she shares experiences and answers questions. She also shares her opinions about different products, finished work and gives insightful thoughts.

With a whooping 9 million followers on TikTok he is obviously doing something right. Elliot is a barber who not only educates other barbers but also lamens as well. He also does a lot of ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) videos which has become a quite popular type of YouTube video. It makes sense that he would repurpose those types of videos on TikTok. While he uses a wide variety of straight razors and double edge razors, he does use a Feather Artist Club once in a while to do his shaves. TikTok is one of the most popular social networking sites on the internet. It's a place where all kinds of people discuss different topics. It's no wonder it's become so addicting to be a part of! TikTok is growing and evolving everyday and we are excited to see where it goes. But one thing is for sure, hairstylists and barbers have used it to grow their popularity and grow their businesses. The stylists and barbers highlighted in this article are just some of the ones that have caught our eye. If you're a TikToker and want to share your handle with us, leave it in the comments and we will be sure to check it out!   Social Media, Brand Building

In today's age of social media and self-promotion nothing has been hotter than making money by endorsing products. The boom of the influencer trend has been partly attributed to brands providing incentives for social media influencers to talk about their products. The best part is that this is a win-win situation. The brand gets the word out about their products to reach new people and the influencer gets a reward for it. Whether it's cash or product, the influencer chooses if they want to participate or not. At JATAI we've noticed there are many loyal Feather users out there who love their razor and enjoy showing off their work to their fellow colleagues and friends. For stylists and barbers, showing off their craft and skills is not just about showing the final look. It's about showing their love for the products they use to create the look and the journey they take to achieve it. We know that stylists feel really proud when they can use a Feather Plier Razor to create beautiful looks and barbers feel pretty cool when they do a full face shave with an Artist Club Razor. We want to reward those who love Feather Razors and are willing to do a little bit of work to earn some great incentives. It's also a great way for us to build relationships with our fellow stylists and barbers. You don't have to have thousands of followers (although that is certainly accepted) or be established as an influencer to participate. But you will need desire and motivation to want more. The more we are impressed with your work, the more we will want to work with you. There could be a number of opportunities outside of the Ambassador Program that could make us contact you! (Update: The Ambassador Program is no longer available. But you can still endorse our products and earn commission through our Affiliate Program) If you are an ambassador for other brands, that is a-ok. We know you have other products you use and if it earns you a little more money, there's no harm in that. You decide what campaigns you want to participate in. It's that easy. We know you're a busy hair professional so these campaigns are made to be manageable and you are given ample time to complete them. Activities can be as simple as an Instagram post, story or reel. Or if you're into TikTok there are options there too. Accumulate points for a larger reward or earn product for completing campaigns. The ask can be about posting a picture of a razored haircut or a video showing you using your razor to cut hair or shave. So if you're ready to join forces and talk about a product you are already using and love, then why not become an ambassador? It's a no brainers and it's free to join. You can promote our products through social media and earn commission through our Affiliate Program. Here you can earn straight commission for sales you directly bring to the website.
