A few months back I was discussing Dorco blades and I was asked to share my thoughts, and being a man of my word, here it comes.
The Proline blades are definitely a full step down in sharpness compared to the Feather offerings. This means that they will shave easily and comfortably from new without wanting to constantly draw blood. I think they may be my preferred blade now after two shaves. I do like the Feathers, but my first four shaves with a new blade always has to proceed verrrry slowly and carefully, especially on the ATG passes.
The Dorco blades are yet another full step down in terms of sharpness, which makes me wonder how long they will last. I do very much like shaving with them because I can go full steam ahead from the very first shave. This blade also needs a more obtuse angle to compensate to the difference in sharpness compared to the Feathers.
So for those who are new to shavettes and wish to try this format, I recommend starting with the Dorcos which are the most forgiving. Then you can proceed to the Prolines, Kais, Feather Super Pros, and finally the Feather Pros.
