Proshave S blades - A feather alternative

[casus4844]

To all the single blade users!

Have you ever used this injector blade? It's another Japanese brand. I didn't buy it, but wondering if anyone had any experience with it.
Here's a pic! If no one has used it and I can find it again I'll pick it up and give it a whirl.

My local barber had 4 or 5 different brands that weren't Feather or Kai, but I didn't get the chance to ask him what they were. There are definitely several brands about, but what they are and how to get hold of them I've no idea.

I have a pack of these on order. Should have it in a week or so. Seems a couple of vendors have them nowadays.

Never saw a 24 pack.

ok...i just used it tonight for the first time... proraso sandalwood preshave, vector razor, proshave s blade, SV tundra artica (first time use) and SV tundra artica aftershave (sample size).

i'm not really one that finds major differences with blades..i think most are good. but since you asked...i think the feather blade was smoother and this one was a bit tuggy sometimes....it was a decent price, fit the razor easily and the dispenser it came with worked nicely too. i'd rebuy if the price was right but if given a choice...id take the feather.

Just used the vector with proshave s blade for the 2nd time today. Still used proraso red preshave but this time used dolomiti saponificio varesino soap for the first time.

The Sv soap was fantastic as usual and the blade still was a tad tuggy.
