How does the kai blade do in the rex ambassador? I love feather blades in my Ambassador and heard kai are sharp like feathers.

Fayiz D, the KAI is actually very smooth, and very efficient in the Rex, even on the first shave. I find that KAI blades aren't quite as sharp or edgy as a Feather on the first shave, however, they seem to get sharper and even smoother with each shave, leveling off around shave 3 or 4, and tend to hold that edge really well for a number of shaves. I've routinely gone over a dozen shaves with a KAI blade in other razors, with this being the first one in the Rex, having only stumbled upon the remaining stash of KAI blades last week.
Also somewhat quieter or sound different than say a Voskhod or Pol-Silver in the Rex, but that's par for the course, they feel more rigid than most other DE blades, to the point you'd swear they're thicker, but aren't.

I'll look into buying some. I never use a blade more than 3 shaves unless it's an AC blade so that's fine. Thanks for the response!
