If you haven't used Kai blades before, watch how you go - they're bloody sharp!

Have a lot of fun!

Word of advice also about the Kai blades, if you are excited to try each new blade that you brought, make sure you do the Kai last because the things take forever to blunt.
I ended up losing patience and binned it early because I wanted to try a different blade.

... or try the Super Gillette Blue first and bin the rest

Thanks Lads
no not used any of these, been wanting the Kai for a while but wasn't sure where to get them until Boycie83 put me in the right direction.
surely they are not any sharper than feather ?

London Bridge didn't feel sharp at all to me, I thought they were crap.

Hmmm ... yes, so-so, but not terrible. 7/10 for me which is not high praise, but the blade did its job as expected. Personally, I did find it (well, these particular market blades) to be very sharp from the off. I got a couple of weepers, which must be the first time since I started DE shaving! Not harsh or fierce, though.

The reports of these blades seem very mixed, aside from the YMMV issue I have a suspicion there might be a few QC issues with some of the new Shanghai Gillette blades.

Derby are not known to be particularly sharp, just not the smoothest.
That said, some people get on just fine with them, @udrako uses them extensively for example

Not sure what it actually was then, but they gave me a rash. I put it down to sharpness, but it could have been the lack of smoothness to be honest. I ended up giving them away. If i find any more in my collection they will go on here, to anyone in the uk.....

I like astras, sharks, voshods and Gillette blues ( not sure of the type).

Feathers definitely are in my opinion, I dont have any left of those thankfully....
