Kai Stainless Double Edge Razor Blades

Slightly better than feather if u ask me , great in my king C

I tried these as an experiment to try and find an alternative to my normal Feather blades. I’m happy with the sharpness and slightly aggressive nature of the Feather but I would like to find that Goldilocks combination of sharp and smooth and these Kai blades have been touted as Feather’s successor.
Very disappointing. I used them in my usual Gillette Slim, set to 5 as usual. They felt extremely rough so I dialled down to 3 but they felt no better. Thinking it might have just been down to my pre-shave routine, I did the other side of my face with a Feather set back to 5 and it was vastly smoother and felt just as sharp, sharper in fact.
I ran a thumb down the edge of the Kai and I could feel burrs on the edge. When gently stroked on a leather strop it left distinct scratches and under magnification you could see the roughness compared to the Feather. Thinking it might just be a rogue blade (it happens), I checked the other four in the pack and they were all the same.
Worth trying and they might suit some beards better but they’re not for me.

I found these to be the sharpest double edged blades out there. Don’t be disappointed with no fancy packaging or no blade motifs, as the money is spent on the quality of steel & the manufacturing / sharpening processes. Highly recommended.

My Henson razor doesn’t have as much blade feel as my other razors, so I decided to try a Kai blade as I’d read they were a little wider than most. Wow, not only do they improve blade feel, they gave the best shave I’ve had from the Henson. Sharp but also smooth, and although expensive, I’m getting at least 6 shaves per blade. Definitely worth the extra cost and I’ll definitely not be using any other blades in the Henson from now on.

Probably as sharp as feather and maybe a bit smoother, excellent shave, good price, quick delivery as usual.
