can you use the feather razors with this or are specific ones required?

Any type of razor fits in. There seems to be a universal razor shape that allows for razors to be replaceable. This certainly is the case with this safety razor.

You can use any standard double edge blade but I'd advise against Feathers in general (unless you have lots of skill )and this razor especially because its so light

Any double edge blade will work with this, and any other razor labeled as DE, Double edge, Safety Razor... Feathers, Merkurs, Sharks, Astras, Derbys, Personnas, Wilkinson, just to name a few.

I am not sure about the feather razors but I have used a couple of different brands and they fit just fine.

According to my husband (who the shaver was for), you will have to buy the whole head. He said that it is cheaper to buy the whole head blade combination that to try to buy just the blades. He also said that some people have bought a sharpener for the blades and sharpen them themselves. Hope this helps Muriel.

I've used the Derby, but I like the Astra way better. It's just a much smoother shave for me. YMMV of course. I have 2 small kids, and a place to put the used blades is always a concern. You can get a "Blade Safe" for about $5 on Amazon. I know Feather makes one. All it is, is a small plastic box that cannot be opened. It has a slit in the top to put your used blades. It holds a couple hundred blades. After it's full, chuck it in your recycle container, and you're done.

Remove the heads and then clean it with the brush, which is included. Do not use water it may damage the razors. You can try with alcohol because it vaporises fast but i wont recommend it.

Yes. The sharp feather brand. I think a 5 pack and those feather blades are my favorite.

I have not used the razor for my head. However I think there are razor, both electric and manual, that are made for this purpose

This is a safety bar razor. This was my second DE razor and first time using a feather blade. This razor and blade combination left my face feeling slightly irritated.

According to my husband, Gillette makes the best blades for this type of razor. When I bought him the razor, I bought the "Feather Blades" to go with them. He said, "The blades were not that sharp. They wouldn't last but a couple of shaves."

Yes, the attachments are for trimming. Use no attachments for a close smooth shave.

Any standard double edge blades will work. I tend to like the sharp blades in this razor as the razor is fairly mild. I always get great shaves form Gillette Silver Blues, Voskhods, Bic Chrome Platinums and Persona Medi Preps but the Feathers are really nice in this razor!

Unless you are a collector, only buy the Feather. If I had bought it first instead of last, I could have used it by itself and avoided all the other razors. The biggest mistakes were the Muhle 41 and the Ikon DLC slant. There is nothing like the Feather, except possibly the Pils.

Read the package picture. All Fusion blades can be used with all Fusion razors.

Yes it will work with any double edge blade but since it is a mild razor, seems to go best with the sharp/efficieint Feather blade.

I can't answer this specific question. I never tried it with any other razor.

I use this blade with my Parker and Pearl razors. they are not sharp enough for me to use with my Edwin Jagger and Feather razors.

no as it is a trimmer, not a razor. I have a razor and trimmer and use them based on what I need to do.

It needs special blades; they're significantly smaller than the blades used in a normal razor. I bought a box of 100 blades via Amazon; they were relatively inexpensive.
