Shave of the day!! Gillette tech loaded with fresh kai blade, neutrogena razor defense face scrub, cold water, Gillette foamy sensitive skin, and nivea sensitive soothing shave balm.
Actually some time ago, I would have told you that I hated kai blades, but after changing some things around, out of all the blades I've tried, I actually believe they are my current favorite blades, even over feather, which in my opinion i think kai is just as good of a performer, just nicer on the skin, but thats my opinion, I gladly love hearing other opinions because thats one reason I think wet shaving is so awesome, everyone is different.

very cool.i have only recently tried kai blades.said to be a touch wider edge to edge than regular blades,they offer a little more blade feel.
1948 brit fb tech/ball end handle platinum omega 10050 boar arko pressed into a bowl duru limon cologne fabulously smooth 2 pass shave in my usual way n/s, s/n,with a touch of combined buffing during the passes in various directions. very smooth and efficient as a daily shaver. these razors have a narrow sweet spot that comes with day to day use,ie muscle memory. i like the heavier ball end handle from a newer 1950s tech. techs also benefit from using a sharper blade,giving a bit more feel. fine arko lather built with a newer version of my original drug store purchase omega. my original got damaged from a "soak in the sink"incident. not recommended with wooden handled brushes. duru limon cologne to finish this soap/ cologne set up leaves the face a bit dry as older school stuff doesn't moisturize the face. a trait more men like to see today,and artisan soap makers like to advertise. *** the hardware hope you enjoyed your shave today i loved my basic drugstore shave with products readily available in the not so distant past. have a great day everyone..
