Feather and Kai shaves

[chazt]

Mark with my ac/se razors I normally use Schick proline, I’m still getting used to the feather dx and will stick to the guarded for a little longer. I read that the feather proguards were a bit more rough. Enjoy your shaves mate

Chuck sent me Pro Guards. When the DX MG needs replacement I will open the Pro Guards and give them a try It just may take a while

now that I’m thinking about it, maybe a Pro Guard in the SR!

Just as different guitars like different gauge and alloy strings (and that often changes over time, doesn’t it?), using different AC style blades in the differently profiled Feather and Kai holders is giving some interesting variations in shave feel. Each perceptibly reacts just like any other razor reacts when introduced to different blades.

Thoughts?

The Feather brand slides apart, two individual pieces. Are you saying the clone cannot be dismantled? If so, I would do as you are doing.

No I don't want to push it. I'm pretty sure that they don't disassemble. Will continue as I have been doing to enjoy thorough drying

Can you take a pictire of it?
To dismantle it, pinch it like when installing or removing the blade, then slide the side that is moving when you pinch, it toward the tip.

Will try it out. Thanks!

The Kai ProTouch MG on its #2 outing worked well today. Felt much safer than the Feather ProGuard. This clone is a first use today so pleased it went well. Will be interesting to see how long this blade lasts.

Was too scared to try and pull the head apart today on its first use but will try when I've used it a bit more.

I have the same copy- it does disassemble just like the original.

Super that's good to know. Didn't want to pull on anything and have it break. Cheers Paul

Done

I reckon guarded blades were designed to be used in shavette, I enjoyed using the feather soft guard in the dx, and in my mind I reckon if I had started with a pro blade it would have put me off this style of shaving. Going forward, the SS would probably be used first to try a sharper blade, it has a Kai mild blade loaded at present. Trying to make this as pleasant an experience as possible….... Happy Shaves
