Kai blade update.
Day 2
Face lathered with Cella today. The resulting shave was relatively comfortable. The alum test (also performed yesterday) confirmed that. Just that pleasing little soupcon of a sting you get with a good shave - no screaming and dancing 'round the bathroom.
Day 3
Bowl lathered today with T&H 1805. The blade was starting to feel a little dull but the shave was acceptable with no discomfort. As The Shamen asked in their song 'Phorward', "Can you pass the alum* test?" I can now tell them, yes.
I was satisified with 3 reasonable shaves from this blade; it isn't going to replace the Feather for me however it's a decent alternative. If you have a lighter beard or are comfortable with Derbys you may want to give this blade a test if the Feather is a touch too much.

* ok, they might have said acid.
