So I started my shaving by just buying 100 Astra SP's, because they seem to be pretty well regarded on this site, and because they were very cheap. I've determined at this point that I like my blades sharp. I have gotten my smoothest shaves so far (with the least irritation) using the sharper blades. I bought some blades off tryablade, and I had 2 feathers and 1 Kai blade.
I usually get 2-3 good shaves out of an Astra before it starts to tug a little. With the feather I got 4 solid shaves. I just had my 5th shave on a Kai blade today, and it was just starting to tug. What would you recommend of those? Is it worth it to spend $45 on 100 Kai blades? That seems a bit extreme to me given that my Astra only cost like $12. Feather are somewhere in between around $25.
Thoughts?
