    I have the following disposable straights:
    Feather Artist Club DX
    Kai Captain
    Feather Artist Club SS
    Greager CJB Feather AC Clone

    I previously had a CJB and Feather Artist Club RG

    Which blades do you recommend? Which are better in a specific razor?

    I have the following:
    Feather Professional
    Feather ProGuard
    Schick Proline P-20
    NRK Kamisori
    Dorco

    I have the following on order:
    Feather Professional Light Blade
    Kai Captain Titan Mild
    Kai Captain Titan Mild Protouch MG

    I only previously have experience with the Proguard's

    Personally, I’d the ones I have tried, I preferred the pro lites or the Titan milds. I think the pro guard blades are worthless, especially for the extra cost. It all comes down to what blade works best for you, try them all and see what suits you best.

    I like Schick Proline blades in my Feather SS.

    I have a Feather DX and CJB, I prefer Feather Pro blades.

    I match the blade exposure to the blade. If the holder has less exposure, I use a blade with more exposure, and vice versa.

    AC SS: Feather Pro Super
    Kai Captain or Excelia: Feather Pro
    AC DX: Feather Pro Guard

    I use Feather Pro in my DX, my CJB and my Irving Barber. In my Feather SS I use Feather Super Pro. The reason f9r that is the Super Pros are simply a bit longer, providing more blade exposure. This shallows up the effective cutting angle of the razor, which is steeper than my other shavettes.
