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, or 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 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 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 afficionados also like the DX models.

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.
