Highspeedlane said: What was the issue with the blade gap? Just curious because I have the AS-D2 also. It's not one of my regular shavers but I bought one because of the all-stainless build and Feather reputation for putting out generally great razor products. Click to expand...

Operator error.When I first got the razor, I didn't know how to use it, so I would have shaves where it felt like I wasn't cutting any/enough hair. I started using a bit of pressure and found myself getting nicked. I contacted Feather and they suggested returning the razor to check the blade gap (at their expense). I took them up on their offer. A couple of weeks later they got back and said they found no problems with the blade gap. I was almost on the verge of selling the razor, but decided to give it another shot. My first step was to focus on just blade angle with zero pressure without worrying about DFS/BBS. Next I started paying more attention to direction of hair growth. Slowly I started to learn how to use the razor and now I really enjoy it because I easily get DFS with 3 passes with no irritation. Not sure I can go back to a more aggressive razor.
