How do you like the Super blade. They're my favorite AC blade right now. Second is the Feather Artist Club, and in far away last place are the ProGuards and that Chinese blade that came with the Univinlions razor.
The Super was exactly what I needed for this shave. I had a few days of beard growth and it plowed right through everything. For daily shaving, I tend to lean toward the Kai Captain Milds but I could probably get used to the Supers if I had to.
I would agree in the Chinese blades. It wasn't worth the extra $1.25 to get the blade pack included. I will probably PIF them away.
The Kai Protouch blades are great if I'm in a hurry and I tend to use them when traveling.

Always a full-size Weck Sextoblade, this one in stainless. It's loaded with a Fromm blade, but I prefer Personna.
Another shave with the Kai Excelia and Feather Pro. After using the chinese AC blade in the Univinlions kamisori, this Feather feels effortless.
Oh, I readily agree that Personnas are wickedly aggressive. They feel like they could shave your skin off (because they do, in a medical setting). That said, the Fromms feel like they take a little too much force to cut hair. I'm referring to a blade that has less than 10 shaves. Sharper is better, and clean cuts heal fastest.
Had my 82nd shavette shave last night, all with a Feather SS, although half of those were with the non folding version and half with the folding one.
No shower, just splashed water on the face, made lather, and shaved. I used Dragonsbeard shave soap and aftershave.
Lather is rich and slick. I got a little too hasty on the left low neck and got a bit of irritation from a bad angle there, but otherwise the shave was very good.
I used a Schick Proline blade on its sixth or seventh shave.

Yeah, that's our fundamental preference difference. I prefer duller and buttery smooth to wicked sharp, in fact, I dread using a new blade and will often cork then before first use. I'm an Excalibur Club member who takes most blades to 60+ shaves, and on rare occasions, Century Club (100+ shaves).
I completely agree with your perception that Personnas are sharper than Fromms.
Traveling again this week for work so Feather SS or a DE shave. Tonight was the Feather SS, Stirling orange chill, and Gillette cool wave balm to finish it off. I always get a small weeper or two with the Feather, but always get a very close shave.
Going to shower tonight and try out a parker SRW with half a personna blade cause I know the blade well. Placeholder for pictures.
For whatever reason, the edit button is missing.
I went all out for my first shavette experience and tried a new brush and new soap lol.
I think I have the grip and the angle down, but I can't seem to see my face while shaving some of the time...

Lots of great info on improving your shaves and measuring the improvement by getting more shaves per blade in the Excalibur Club thread below:
Many thanks.
I just got this for special circumstances when having a straight and a strop around is unpractical.
That looks really nice.
It came with a 100 blades and was less than $25. I figured, worth case scenario, I would scavenge the Olive-wood scales and leather pouch which could fit a small straight...
