Feather and Kai shaves

[Twelvefret]

Just finished using the Proline 30 in my SS. This blade new felt like the 15 use Super Pro yesterday. This tells me that the Feather is going to be my preferred BOC.

Not to suggest the blade didn't work or didn't provide a good result with two passes and mapping areas addressed. I could just tell there was a sharpness that we inferior to the Feathers. This is not to say others should not consider or that others might not get better results that Feathers.

When I was shaving yesterday, I paid attention, so I could share, how I allowed the blade to be used and for me, I hover. This is probably why I can achieve the same result using the SS as I do with the DX since only the blade it is doing the work. It is probably why I can use the Super Professional and never consider it more than the Pro Guard. This is probably due to my use of honed straight razors as well as my proprioception.

Whether one holder is more or less mild is not a factor for me. What is a factor is the appearance of the holder. I have honed straight that have beautiful scales that add to my enjoyment. The Kai Woody is outstanding in appearance and that would give me enjoyment. Learning to make it effective and experimenting with various blades would just be icing on the cake.

I do think the things we can change up are the blades themselves and not so much what is holding them.

Chuck, thanks for the excellent post and meta cognitive breakdown. The hover is an interesting proprioceptive concept and is something that lays ahead for me.

Agreed. In the spirit of fun and learning, it’s soon time I start exploring other blades.

Aren’t you up a bit early? I’ve already listened to why you think you have the best dog and your song for your mom and aunt!!

I am a bit surprised by the Proline experience, but thank you for sharing.

I have the DX in both western and the Kamasori love to use them use mostly pro blades in them ints a change from the straights i normally use but quite fun to use I especially like the Kamasri because i use normal straights so often its a nice change

maybe you should try another one, in case you bumped into a dud, in MY experience the Proline has the same sharpness as any other regular sized AC blade, and is veery smooooth.

Ugh, it feels like the middle of the night for me. Three nights in a row I had extreme trouble breathing through my nose. The cpap relies on my ability to get air in and out. This cold has lingered for nearly a week. I think it’s a sinus infection now. I’m seeing my primary later.

You’re welcome, of course. Good thing I didn’t send a full dispenser

Thanks for posting your experiences
Do you perceive any significant difference in hand between the DX folder vs. the kamisori?

Okay.

Now I am leaning toward a folding DX. Then again, not so much. Stop the enabling Charlie!!

I hope for the best, as always.

Has anyone used the pink Feather Softguard blades.

Yes. Very mild indeed. Much prefer Kai guarded blades. In fact, I don't really like Feather AC blades at all. Kai and Schick are better for me.

In my personal experience, flushing the nose with seasalt water is the best home remedy for nose congestion and sinus infections, but not everyone can endure it. Investigate the subject on nose flushing and se if it's for you

Neti Pot? They sure work for me.
