Feather and Kai shaves

[JD55]

Fourth use of a Professional Super today with excellent results. I am getting spoiled with these blades.

Are they better than the feather professionals?
That's the only AC blades I've ever bought... because I considered myself a professional.
I can get 6 solid shaves out of a Chick injector blade but 5 on a feather professional is not great, just me trying to get my money's worth

I am afraid I can't say. When I purchased the SS in 2018 I was only aware of the Pro Guards and Super Professionals. I went with the guarded blades for a while and then wanted to see if I could use the Supers. When I bought the DX it came with some Professionals, but I haven't used them.

I am up to seven shaves with the current Pro Super, the one before (9), and the one before (15). Like you, I get lots of shave with the injector blades but over the last two years the Schicks haven't lasted as long as before. I got some Supply and they do well.

I am going to begin to use the Personna Mini Shaper blades in my injector holders for a while. At $9 for 20, that is a good deal.

Fwiw, (not sure if it’s relevant to your posts, per se) Schick proline injector blades last me a good six shaves before I notice even a minuscule drop off in face feel or effectiveness. I usually change it after six or seven because as you know, life’s too short to shave with a dull blade. And why deal with that? However maybe it’ll be a good test to push the current blade in my ASW Injector, just because. I’m currently charting an AC Proline in my Kai. It’s at four shaves now and I‘m hoping to at least triple that number.

I should snag some prolines one day soon and give them a run.
Thanks for the reply!

I've seen the supply blades around but didn't know much about them.
The Chick blades I have are older ones and maybe I should pass on buying any of the newer ones. I might go the vintage route possibly, as well
