What SE blade is most like Astra SP?
OK, let me try again…What is the mildest SE razor blade…”mildest” defined as least likely to cut you while shaving.None. The blades are thicker so there is no real comparison. Of course you can get a Twig or a Razorock Eco and use half an Astra.
This or maybe try a few different Feather Artist Club blades.You should try the Schick Prolines. They are my favorite.
IMO, mildest of all of the AC blades would be Feather Artist Club Prolights (Light blue). SoftGuards (pink/red) are pretty mild and do remind me of a DE shave the most.OK, let me try again…What is the mildest SE razor blade…”mildest” defined as least likely to cut you while shaving.
Great idea…thanks!This or maybe try a few different Feather Artist Club blades.
The Professional is good but the ProGuard is milder and the Soft Guard is milder still. Don’t start with the Super Pro as it is more aggressive.
Whiterook is correct though, totally different than DE blades.
Grab a couple of each from tryablade or razorbladesclub.
With a name like SoftGuard it sounds pretty safe!IMO, mildest of all of the AC blades would be Feather Artist Club Prolights (Light blue). SoftGuards (pink/red) are pretty mild and do remind me of a DE shave the most.
Just looked at razorbladesclub. They have Derby Premium SE blades! I LOVE that DE blade! (I'm assuming the SE is similar to the DE!)This or maybe try a few different Feather Artist Club blades.

It is. Too mild for most.With a name like SoftGuard it sounds pretty safe!☺
Good to know. Thanks!It is. Too mild for most.
Apparently the KAI Protouch (guarded) blades are very mild but I haven’t tried thme.
I am pretty new to SE shaving, but blades are easy to figure out. The only real mainstream brands are Schick, KAI and Feather and only Feather has more than 1-2 different blades. I think they have 5 different types currently.
Those are a DE cut in half. Depends on which SE razor you buy. It won’t work in the Hawk, Vector and similar AC razors but will work in the Twig, Eco, etc.Just looked at razorbladesclub. They have Derby Premium SE blades! I LOVE that DE blade! (I'm assuming the SE is similar to the DE!)

Thanks for the info!You can try the KAI Protouch if you get an AC razor, but some people love them, some consider them training wheels and some can't stand the feel of the little guard fingers. Remember, in a safety razor, the bar is your guard so the the guard on the blades just keeps you from getting too close. The KAI mild are the same blade without the guard. I can't get the guarded blades to pick up hairs that grow flat in a safety razor. Many AC razors aren't compatible with the Feathers that aren't Pro something, so you could try a Pro guard. One problem with AC is you really need to buy a dispenser, 15 or 20 to try them. You are looking at 20 for each one you want to try.
If you go half DE, don't waste your money on more blades. You just snap the blade while it's still in the wrapper. At least until you figure out what works for you. There are only about half a dozen half DE blades available. If you get the Twig, you might want to try the Permasharp to see if they work for you. They are very sharp and available in half DE.
