Great video!! Very engaging and loved hearing about the festivals in Japan!! It must be quite an experience to be close to those huge drums and the roar of the crowd!! I did notice that even on your 3rd pass, you could hear the blade. (I'm going to try one of my remaining blades in my KCG razor, too!!)View attachment 1225576
After receiving the blades in the post yesterday. I put them in the KcG and tried the blade for the first time on video for my amateur YouTube channel and gave thanks on the video as well as my first impressions on the Kai DE blade. I also spoke a bit about Seki city and the culture of knives and other things about my times in Japan. Kai blades transported through time and space... interesting stuff...
I did not have any expectations of the DE blades. I found it to be middle of the road to be honest. Rougher than the Red Israelis, Astra greens, but smoother than Muhle and Merkur. I used the Palmolive lather for it's wide known qualities, inexpensive and wide availability and the KcG as it gives a near identical shave to a DE89, r89 etc. also this razor is widely and relatively cheaply available globally. Judgement on blade differences, to me, is nicely detectable on mild razors.
I must admit my skin still felt abraded by reviewing the Supply Co. SE razor yesterday which was unpleasant.
The Kai got to a DFS so much happier than yesterday. I will continue to use this blade and will change razors tomorrow and see how it goes.
Thank you so much for sending them to Australia, much appreciation for joining in this PIF.
