>> The mysterious KAI blades <<

Preshave: frigid tap water
Brush: Semogue 830
Soap: Eleven ~ Orange
Razor: Mühle R41 GS
Blade: KAI (17/1)
Post shave: frigid tap water, Stirling Soap ~ Orange Chill AS .

Within the last two shaves, my KAI lost significant sharpness and today (within shave #17) I decided to change blades between passes as I could literally feel skin irritation starting. Woooza, what a difference the fresh KAI made in the R41 GS...3 passes, very close bbs.

Have some great shaves, Gents!

My last shave with this CK-6 soap. It has given me some fantastic lather: slick and rich. Last shave with the Personna Lab, too, after five shaves. I probably could have pushed the blade – but I have so many blades in my supply there is no need to push it. A great shave.
