Japanese razors and blades for razor cutting and finishing

Feather

Feather is the Japanese razor and blade maker whose Styling Razor is the razor most stylists learn razor cutting on. In Canada, Capilex distributes Feather alongside its Takano shears, and ProHair carries the current Feather range it supplies.

The range covers the Styling Razor (black kit with ten standard blades, or the silver handle on its own), the red texturizing razor, the Artist Club DX folding straight razor with a wooden handle, and the Nape & Body swivel razor for finishing necklines. Each razor takes its own blade system, so the matching refills are here too: standard and texturizing styling-razor blades, Artist Club Professional Light and ProGuard blades, Nape & Body and Plier blades, and a blade disposal case.

Your questions, answered

Who makes Feather razors?
Feather is a Japanese razor and blade maker. In Canada its razors and blades are distributed by Capilex, which also distributes Takano shears.
Which Feather razor should a beginner buy?
The Feather Styling Razor Kit. It is a guarded cutting razor and comes with ten standard blades, so you can start razor cutting straight away.
Which blades fit my Feather razor?
Styling Razors take styling-razor blades (standard or texturizing); the Artist Club DX takes Artist Club blades (Professional Light, ProGuard); the Nape & Body and Plier razors each take their own blade. Our compatibility guide lists every pairing.
What is the difference between Professional Light and ProGuard blades?
Both fit Artist Club razors. Professional Light blades are thin (0.254 mm) for a lighter, more flexible feel; ProGuard blades have a guard along the edge and are more forgiving for razor cutting.
How often should I change the blade?
As soon as it drags instead of gliding. Many salons use a fresh blade for every client for hygiene.
How do I dispose of used razor blades?
Slide them into a Feather blade disposal case and dispose of the full case according to your local rules for sharps. Never put loose blades in the garbage.
