Kai 100 pack Stainless Double Edged Blades 100blades razor blades

This blade is thicker and stiffer than the average DE blade. This allows cutting tougher stubble with more ease, with less chatter and/or skipping. I heard that this blade is smoother than the Feathers. I think the claims for smoothness is due to the said thicker blade. This could also mean better blade longevity that many has mentioned. This blade is also wider than average, allowing you to slightly improve the aggressiveness of razors through blade reveal.

Um die Kai Rasierklingen wird meiner Meinung nach ein zu großer Hype gemacht.Ich verwende Sie in einem Merkur Process. Die erste Rasur mit einer frischen Klinge verläuft rupfig.Erst bei der zweiten Rasur rupft es nicht mehr ganz so. Für den preis ist es wirklich schade.Da ist jede Astra besser bei einem drittel des Preises.Einem guten Freund von mir habe ich ein Päckchen gegeben, er war der gleichen Meinung.

I bought these to use in my RazoRock BBS Stainless razor. Does the job well and isn't as severe as the feather. Docked one star as they are expensive compared to other blades.

I feel it’s critical to first provide a proper context before giving a blade review. As we all know, almost all blade reviews vary wildly between 1 and 5 stars. And without any sort of context, they’re neither helpful nor meaningful. This also means that my results may be totally different from yours, based on different variables. Please do yourself a favor and buy some sample packs if you’re new to DE shaving. I purchased a customizable pack from Maggard Razors.EQUIPMENT: Above The Tie Slant Bar razor with Kronos handle, PAA CK-6 and Declaration Grooming shave soaps, Dirty Bird original scuttle (water heated to 170º F), synthetic brush.CONTEXT: Thick coarse beard, very sensitive skin. Shave every other day after showering in the morning. 5-pass shave.I’m fairly new to wet shaving. Previously, I used a Panasonic ES-LV61-A with shaving cream. I think it’s the best electric on the market (or was when I bought it 3 years ago). But I eventually wanted to get into wet shaving. I chose a slant razor because I read they’re ideal for thick beards and sensitive skin. From everything I’ve read, slant razors tend to work optimally with blades that are on the sharp end of the mild to sharp spectrum.COMPARISONS: I bought around 10 sample packs that varied between mild and extremely sharp, with all but one irritating my face.The Kai was the first blade that felt like it sliced through my whiskers rather than cutting through them. Now I understand why people love wet shaving. It was the first blade that cut noticeably closer than my Panasonic! It’s also less irritating than any of the other blades I’ve tried. In fact, I probably would have given up on double-edge wet shaving if it wasn’t for the Kai blade! My experience has been that it’s just as sharp as a Feather but far smoother. And I’d rank the PolSilver Iridium in 2nd place. It’s not quite as sharp or quite as smooth.CON: They’re relatively expensive when you compare them to say, the Astra. But to be fair, that’s comparing apples to oranges. The Kai is a far sharper AND smoother blade. And at $35.00 for 100 blades, that breaks down to around 35¢ a blade, or 6¢ a shave at 6 shaves per blade. Shaving every other day breaks down to 3¢ a day. That's right — I get 6 shaves out of each blade. TIP: Use a hairdryer on the blade after washing it to minimize oxidation.

I don’t remember how I stumbled upon these, but they were very welcome when I was looking for an alternative to Feather blades. For my face/skin/beard configuration the Feathers give a close shave but frequently Isnaggrd on something so I ended up looking like a skin graft donor. The Kai blades, perhaps a tad less sharp but still way sharp enough give wonderfully close shaves without the anxiety of feeling the risk of playing facial Russian roulette each time the razor is picked up. I’m a calm shaver now that these are my go-to blades.
