Lifted this from a B&B post. The member is comparing blades installed to determine exposure.

"Owning both the Kai Captain & Feather Artist Club DX holders, and the Kai Titan Mild & Feather Super blades, I've had a chance to make some direct comparisons and observations between the two compatible systems. In this thread, I'd like to address blade exposure. Given the same blade, the Kai holder seems to have just a little bit less exposure than the Feather. For those interested in such things, here is a list of holder and blade combinations from most to least blade exposure. Please, keep in mind that some information is logically inferred and not from direct observation.


(MOST EXPOSURE)

  1. Feather w/Pro Super Blade
  2. Kai w/Pro Super Blade
  3. Feather w/Standard Size Blade (Feather Professional, Kai Mild, ProGuard, etc.)
  4. Kai w/Standard Size Blade (Feather Professional, Kai Mild, ProGuard, etc.)
  5. Feather w/Pro Light Blade
  6. Kai w/Pro Light Blade (reports indicate almost no blade exposure with this combination)
(LEAST EXPOSURE)"

I can infer that my brief experience confirms the man’s points 5 and 6. Ergo, an unscientific testing of his hypothesis. If we can all duplicate his results it’ll turn into theory! 💈

Just checked the Schick P-30 @chazt sent me. According to my measurement, it is 7.5mm. If someone could measure the Kai blades we might be onto a better understanding.

I think the problem with the Kai Woody is not that it is mild, but that it does not allow for as much blade exposure. Apparently "no blade exposure".

Put a Super at 8.2mm or Pro-guard at 8.0mm in the Kai Woody and you may get the same or similar result as the SR with a P-30 or Kai blade in the SR.

@Estariol Do you know if the other Kai models are similar or is there some variation like the Feather SS and DX?

I made that conclusion judging by the front/tip profiles of the holders. I have no accurate info, but according to the profile from the front, the Kai razor with the wedge-like profile can be resembling to the DX in shaving properties. I didn't explore comparison videos, though, maybe there is one...? We'll find out when i receive my Captain clone
