I smell like a Christmas pudding
I have seen a few posts suggest that a known sharp blade such as a Kai is preferable if you have a few days of beard growth. I would think that for any shave you are removing the hair at the surface of the skin, regardless if you have a one day, three day, or one week growth. If the beard was so long it was clogging the razor you would have to rinse more frequently, but it should not make a difference to the actual cutting ability of the blade. Surely the bristles in a five day beard are no tougher than in a one day beard, certainly not at skin level where the hair is cut. Is it just a personal preference or some unconscious thing that becomes true simply because you believe it, which of course is totally fine, or is there some logic to it? To be honest I would probably choose a Feather, a Kai, or a Bic to remove a long beard growth, I am just not sure why
