This includes hair cutting and shaving razor handles such as Feather Styling Razors, the Plier Razor, Artist Club Razors, Nape and Body Razor, double edge razors and cartridge razors. This deal is unheard of but it’s happening in just a few days! Feather Styling Razors are the premier haircutting razor of choice for hairstylists and barbers. With a guarded blade and ergonomic handle, the Styling Razor celebrates its 30th anniversary this year! Such a momentous feat. The blades are replaceable, so you always have a sharp blade. Plus, you can choose up to 3 different blade styles to meet your haircutting needs. Choose from a variety of handle colors such as red, silver and black. There is also a short handle version that comes in other colors. If you’re an advanced razor cutter or just looking to up your razor cutting game, the Feather Plier is the way to go. With an unguarded blade, the Feather Plier Razor is loved and used by many stylists who want the freedom of razor cutting without a guard. Of course, it is more dangerous to use because it takes a bare blade. However, the Feather Plier allows you to be the most creative with your haircut styles. Haircutting razors provide the ability to create different looks and styles than scissors just can’t. You can check out the Plier Razor here. Feather Artist Club Razors are high quality professional shaving razors that give the closest shave and smoothest skin. There are several models ranging from the SS to SR to DX. All Feather Artist Club Razor handles can use any of the five Artist Club Blades to tailor your shaving needs. Barbers cherish this razor for their full face shaves and lineups. The weight, balance and sleek look of Artist Club Razors make these shaving razors a sweet addition to any shaving routine. Lastly, the Feather Nape and Body Razor is a small handle razor that uses a short, guarded blade made for shaving small, tight areas like the nape, sideburns, eyebrows and bikini areas. Hairstylists can use this razor to shave because the blades feature a guard. It’s a great razor for stylists who do short haircuts and want to keep the neckline clean and crisp. When it comes to consumer facing products, Feather Double Edge Razors are the top of the line. The Wood handle or all stainless steel handle razors are a beauty. They have a nice weight which allows the razor to do the work. To see all Feather Double Edge Razors click here. There are also cartridge razors such as the Feather F3 and Butler. Each of these razors can use either the F3, F2 or MR3 blade. These razors are unique in their handling and performance and primarily cater to sensitive skin. You can also get 35% off all Seki Edge Grooming Kits during JATAI’s Black Friday sale. Seki Edge has a variety of kits from a 2-piece to a 9-piece kit each housed in a compact, made-for-travel carrying case.

If you’re more detailed about your grooming, the 9-piece will surely impress. All of your nail grooming needs will be addressed with this one. JATAI’s Black Friday sales are available from November 11th through the 27th, 2022.  

Cyber Week Deals

JATAI also has amazing Cyber Week sales from November 28th through December 5th, 2022. During this time you can get 30% off all Feather Blades. Also, when you buy 2 Seki Edge products you get one free (equal or lesser value). Need to refill your Feather Blades? Choose from Styling Razor Blades, Plier Blades, Artist Club Blades, Nape Blades, double edge blades or cartridge blades. There are three different Styling Razor Blades (Standard, R-Type and Texturizing). Each type of blade works best in different situations and each pack contains 10 blades. The most versatile blade is the Standard Blades. It’s great for all razor haircutting, especially for beginners. Look for the orange packaging. The R-Type Blades have 40% more blade exposure than the Standard Blades for rapid cuts. With less guard you can cut hair faster and cut off more hair in one swipe. This one is best used by razor haircutters who are more experienced with a razor and want to cut quicker with less drag. The Texturizing Blades have a different guard pattern made to cut 25% less hair than the Standard Blades. This blade is good to use on clients with fine hair or thin hair but you still want to give texture. The Plier Blades are the only blade that can be used in the Plier Razor. It is an extremely sharp bare blade that fits snug in the Plier Razor. For the most artistic and elite razor haircutter, the Plier Blades are no joke when it comes to sharpness. You must know what you are doing to use these so use with caution. If you can master the Plier, the results are mind blowingly beautiful. The Plier Blades come with 20 blades per pack. There are 5 Feather Artist Club Blades: Professional, ProGuard, Super, Light and SoftGuard. Each blade is designed for different situations and different types of hair and skin types. After all, we are not made equally. The most versatile blade is the Professional Blade. You can’t go wrong with this blade. If you want more safety, opt for the ProGuard Blades which have a built-in guard. You are less likely to cut yourself or your client when using this blade. This is a popular blade for those new to straight razor shaving or who want that extra safety. The Super Blade is for super hair. This means thick, heavy, coarse facial hair. That’s right, it’s the blade that can easily tackle the thickest of facial hair in one swipe. With the greatest blade exposure, this blade has super powers that none of the other blades have. The Light Blades, on the other hand, are quite the opposite. They give the least blade exposure. When would you use this blade? It’s good for sensitive skin or thin, fine hair. This could be good for shaving women or shaving fuzz. It is a gentle blade for gentle skin. And the fifth and newest Artist Club Blade is the SoftGuard Blades which are a hybrid of the Light Blades and the ProGuard Blades. With little blade exposure, it also features a built-in guard on the blades. This one would be for similar use as the Light Blades but with extra safety. The Nape Blades are used in the Feather Nape and Body Razor. The Nape Blades are small blades with a built-in guard. This blade is small so it can get into smaller areas that the larger razors have a more difficult time addressing. The Nape Blades only fit in the Nape and Body Razor. Some hairstylists have gotten creative with the razor and are even using it to cut hair! The Feather Double Edge Blades are tried and true blades. Sharp and made of stainless steel, these blades are the sharpest double edge blades around. Just go ask any shaving forum. There are various pack sizes so pick from a 5pk, 10pk, 20pk, 100pk sleeve or 200pk sleeve. Double edge blades are a great way to help do your part to be environmentally friendly as well as save money. But if you just can’t get away from cartridge razors, the F3, F2 and MR3 cartridge blades are a great alternative. The F3 blade, in particular, has a triple blade with a built-in wavy guard on each blade to reduce razor burn and bumps. The independent suspension of each blade allows the blade to gently go over the skin without force and the SiC ceramic coating allows for smooth passes. If you’re prone to sensitive skin, razor bumps or burns, this blade is definitely for you! During Cyber Week you can also save with Seki Edge. When you buy 2 Seki Edge products you can get 1 free for equal or lesser value. This includes grooming kits! Perhaps get some of your favorite nail clippers or grooming kits to give as gifts or stock up on some needed tweezers or make-up scissors. The choice is yours. Take advantage of these amazing deals during Black Friday and Cyber Week. You won't see these deals anywhere else or anytime else soon so stop by JATAI.net. We can’t wait to get this party started!

Add These to Your Dad’s Grooming Toolbox

06 June 2022, By JATAI

Dads love tools. That’s right…hammers, saws, wrenches and screwdrivers. But they also like a lot of other tools. We don’t know what it is about dads but they are always trying to fix things, using their hands to get down and dirty in their personal projects.

Add These to Your Dad’s Grooming Toolbox
Dads love tools. That’s right…hammers, saws, wrenches and screwdrivers. But they also like a lot of other tools. We don’t know what it is about dads but they are always trying to fix things, using their hands to get down and dirty in their personal projects. After the mess they create, cleaning up can be a big task. The thing is, most men don’t take advantage of grooming services like going to a salon or spa for manicure services. They are much more likely to go to a salon or barbershop to get their hair trimmed or get a pampering shave. Men tend to do a lot of grooming at home, which is ok as long as they know what they’re doing. While dad might have all the tools he needs to build a backyard deck or repair a car, he might not have the grooming tools he needs to clean up nicely after a long day’s work outside. Looking and feeling good is important for any man so for this Father’s Day, why not give him the best grooming tools to help him look his best. Feather Safety Razors - Father's DayDads deserve quality grooming tools such as shaving razors and grooming kits to keep their facial hair in check and their nails in tip top shape. When it comes to shaving razors, the best you can get is a Feather. While big cartridge razors are easy to use with low chances of cutting yourself, the blades can be pricey and they are bad for the environment. Feather Safety Razors (aka double edge razors) use a single blade without any plastic. Because only a single blade is used to cut hair, it needs to be sharp and cut on the first pass. Feather double edge blades have a reputation of being the sharpest blades on the market. Safety razors have a bit of a learning curve and require more care when shaving, but those who use one say it’s a much better shave than a cartridge shave. The shaves are closer and it generally takes less passes than a cartridge razor. If dad is a little adventurous and willing to try a safety razor, he might have a new hobby. Or maybe he’s already into double edge razors and wants a razor upgrade. In any case, if you’re going to give dad some extra love this Father’s Day, spoil him with a Feather Double Edge Razor. Now through Father’s Day, you can get 25% off any Feather Double Edge Razor handle. Alternatively, men might not think of their hands or feet much, but after a long hard day working the hands and tiring the feet, they could use a little TLC. Having dry, crusty cuticles or hangnails is just not acceptable when it comes to grooming. Keeping nails clean and trimmed is an important part of grooming and when the hands look good, it’s noticed by others. Men's Premium Grooming Kit (MS-01) - Father's DayA Seki Edge grooming kit can save the day. With high quality manicure and pedicure tools made in Japan, each tool serves a different grooming purpose. Known for nail clippers with sharp cutting edges and solid quality implements, a nail kit housed in a compact travel case can make nail grooming easy and convenient. There’s also a variety of kits to choose from to meet dad’s needs. For Father’s Day this year, all grooming kits are 25% Off, including the Seki Edge Men’s Gift Set. The Seki Edge Men’s Gift Set is a great gifting item because it’s presented in a classy gift box. A simple bow on top could give the final touches. If you want the items in a case, opt for the Men’s Premium Grooming Kit MS-01. It has the same items but in a travel case. Whatever you get for dad, just remember quality is king. He deserves something nice and a beautiful, luxurious razor or grooming kit will put a smile on his face.

What You Should Know About Using a Double Edge Razor

As a man, getting the perfect shave seems so cliché. But cliché as it may sound, getting a great shave has always been an important result for a man’s grooming routine.

What You Should Know About Using a Double Edge Razor
As a man, getting the perfect shave seems so cliché. But cliché as it may sound, getting a great shave has always been an important result for a man’s grooming routine. It is important to note that getting a great close shave requires a few things: using the right razor, using the right blade and having good technique. For the at home shaver, most men use cartridge razors, electric razors or a foil shaver because they are easy to use without cutting themselves. Men who want a quick shave resort to these kinds of razors. However, the shave is generally not as close as it could be. If you want a much closer shave and have a little more time to dedicate to shaving, it’s best to use a double edge razor. Or if you’re more adventurous, a straight razor is the best shave you can get. If you’re not ready for a straight razor, a double edge or safety razor would be the next level up. There are several convincing reasons why using a double edge razor can be more beneficial. Are you ready to become a wet shaver?

Why You Should Switch to Double Edge Razors: 

1)   You get a better value for your shaver. Double edge blades are very inexpensive and you also have two sides of the blade to shave with which means twice the shaving capacity per blade. Because double edge blades are only composed of a thin sheet of metal, they are easy to produce and package. Each blade is easily under $1 each. However, cartridge blades contain several blades and have a plastic housing that results in a higher cost. Often replacement cartridge blades are well over $2 each and can run as high as $5 per cartridge! Feather Double Edge Razor Blade2)   You can often get more shaves out of a double edged blade. This is because double edge blades are sharper than cartridge blades. Since cartridge blades often contain anywhere from 2 to 7 blades in a cartridge, the blades don’t have to be as sharp because if one of the blades doesn’t cut the hair, the second, third or fourth blade will cut it. On the other hand, a single edge blade will be expected to cut off most hair in a single pass. Of course, the number of shaves you can get out of any blade also depends on the quality of the blade itself. Not all double edge blades or cartridge blades are made the same. For example, Feather Double Edge Blades have a reputation of having some of the sharpest blades around so you can generally get more shaves out of them than other brands. 3)   You’ll likely get less irritation. When you are shaving with a double edge blade, you’re shaving with a single blade. When multiple blades pass the skin multiple times, this creates irritation. Think about it. If 5 blades pass the skin 3 times, this is 15 blades going over the skin. On the other hand, if 1 blade passes the skin 3 times, this is 3 blades going over the skin. Less irritation means less redness, razor burn, razor bumps and better for sensitive skin. 4)   Cartridge blades often get clogged. When there are many blades close together, the hairs get stuck between the blades. Even after rinsing, sometimes the hair just doesn’t pass through. With a single safety razor blade, hair can pass right through after a rinse. Clogged hairs between blades is a big nuisance and can also affect your shaving quality. 5)   Safety razor blades are better for the environment. Since they are single sheets of metal they can decompose. Meanwhile, cartridge blades have plastic around them and plastic does not degrade easily. They sit in the landfills and end up in our oceans. If the environment means anything to you, this could be a very good reason to switch.

Now that you know the benefits, let’s take a look at some other key differences…

Double Edge Razor and BladeThere is a difference in how cartridge razors are used versus double edge razors. Cartridge razors are designed to remove as much hair as possible at one time and a double edge razor works by gradually reducing hair with each pass. Another thing to note is that double edge razors have a higher learning curve than cartridge razors. You’ll definitely need some practice as there is a much greater risk of cutting yourself. However, once you get the hang of it, the results are worth it. When using a double edge razor be sure to replace the blade when they start to get dull to prevent any nicking or cutting. The number of times you might use a double edge razor blade depends on the quality of the blade and the technique. It may also help to designate a specific day of the week to change the blade. While double edge razors can help with skin irritation, there are other ways you can reduce these issues by simply taking care of your skin. If you are tired of razor burn, ingrown hairs, redness and bumps, it’s important that you pay extra attention to the quality of your skin. Sensitive skin can be more prone to razor burn so exfoliate and remove dead skin cells before you shave so you can achieve a clean shave every time.  This also helps to prevent ingrown hairs as exfoliating removes hardened proteins that block the hair follicle.

How to shave with a double edge razor:

1)   To begin, prep the area you want to shave by wetting it with warm water. When it’s wet, this allows the hair to soften and swell making it easier to shave. A good time when this occurs is after a shower. Once the area is wet, apply shaving cream or use a shaving brush. Lather your face using a swirl motion to distribute the cream evenly. 2)   When shaving, shave in the direction of hair growth. Do not shave against the grain, especially on your first pass. Hair grows in various directions on different parts of the face and neck so pay attention to how your hair grows. With thicker hair, shorter strokes should be used. With more fine hair, strokes can be longer. Strokes should not be applied with pressure when using a double edge razor. Getting a Closer Shave with a Double Edge Razor3)   Let the razor glide over the skin for best results at a thirty degree angle relative to the skin. A 30 degree angle is the optimal shaving angle. If you notice the blade is getting dull, rotate the handle and use the remaining side of the blade to shave. Shaving at the right angle can be achieved by using the right razor. Feather Double Edge Razors are designed to easily achieve this optimal angle. You can check them out here. 4)   When there is build-up in the razor, be sure to run it under a stream of water or fill a sink with hot water and rapidly move the razor back and forth to remove the hair from the blades. Repeat this process as necessary until your clean shave has been achieved. Your morning shave should take no more than 10 minutes. 5)   It’s important to note that to get the closest shave, it may be necessary to stretch the skin in the opposite direction of the razor’s path with the free hand so that the razor glides more easily. Stroke downward with the razor. Stretching the skin opens the hair follicle that exposes more of the hair shaft so it can be cut shorter. 6)   Post shave, rinse your skin with cold water to close the pores. Follow up with proper skin care products such as toner and a good moisturizer. And voila! You’ve completed your first traditional wet shave. Getting a great wet shave with a double edge razor is well worth it. It takes some practice and a little know how, but once you get the hang of it, you will love the outcomes and say good-bye to yesterday’s cartridge or electric shavers.

Double Edge Razors: Get An Eco-Friendly Shave This Earth Day

Double Edge Razors: Get An Eco-Friendly Shave This Earth Day
Stop Plastic Pollution with Double Edge RazorsOne of the best parts of celebrating Earth Day this Thursday, April 22, is raising awareness of the many ways everyone can help the planet. This includes supporting green initiatives by using sustainable products, recycling services and eco-friendly beauty and wellness products. When focusing specifically on eco-friendly grooming, the topic of disposable razors inevitably comes up in the conversation.

Double Edge Razors: Get an Eco-Friendly Shave this Earth Day

So just how bad is your disposable razor for the environment? Considering that billions of plastic razors and refill blade cartridges get tossed in landfills each year, the truthful answer is pretty bad. What makes disposable razors so environmentally unfriendly is largely the materials used in each razor. Typically made from different components in a variety of material such as plastic, rubber and metal, most municipal recycling programs in the U.S. will not accept disposable razors, making them hard to be recycled. A majority end up in landfills or contaminating our water systems. But there is a solution to the pollution: Double Edge Razors. Feather Double Edge Safety Shaving Razors For those looking for about an eco-friendlier shave, Double Edge Razors, or Safety Razors as they’re also referred to, are a great alternative to disposable ones. While the term may conjure images of your grandfather’s old razor, today’s Double Edge Razors are both modern and perfectly gender-neutral, as ideal for shaving a beard as for shaving legs. Crafted from stainless steel, Double Edge Razors handles, such as the Feather All Stainless Steel Double Edge Razor, are built to last a lifetime. In fact, many razor collectors purchase and use old Double Edge Razors from as far back as the early 1900s with no problems. These razor handles use all-steel replacement blades with no plastic. This means the only waste is the blades and some municipalities do recycle those. Should you ever need to replace or dispose of your razor handle, that too can be recycled. Due to their quality and sharpness, Double Edge Blades last longer than standard metal and plastic cartridge blades, meaning less waste. Feather’s Double Edge Blades are platinum coated which extends the life of the blade, preventing them from dulling as quickly as other blades might. The blades are also two-sided allowing for additional shaves with each blade. Depending on technique, hair density and thickness, and skin type, some users can get anywhere from three to seven shaves per Double Edge Blade. They can even save you money in the long term since Double Edge Blades are more affordable than cartridge replacements – not to mention more high performing by providing a closer shave. The refill blades, such as the Feather Hi-Stainless Double Edge Blades, are very inexpensive - as low as 50 cents each compared to $2+ each for the average modern cartridge. Economic and eco-friendly – a true win-win for your wallet and your carbon footprint. While one person switching from disposable razors to a Double Edge one may not seem like it will have a huge impact on the environment, it is important to remember that every person together adds up. When it comes to protecting Earth, it is a shift that can have an impact for generations to come.
