@alfredus is the man who has more experience about the KAI SS blades. I think the edge is smoother than the Feather.how are these compared to feathers?

Mate, easy as..look at razorbladesclub. About 80 cents each if buying just 1, but gets cheaper as you buy more (5, 30, 100).but cant find sample packs anywhere.. didnt really want to invest in 50 or 100 at around 0.70c - $1 each to find out if i liked them..
I agree @SpeedyPC the Kai do feel smoother than the Feathers, and last a bit longer too.I think the edge is smoother than the Feather.
i do remember you mentioning a razor to me last time we spoke, but i cant remember for the life of which it was.. must of been the ATT by the sounds of it... you certainly seem confident that i will love the ATT H plates and you know my love of the wolfman so i might just get me an ATT for xmas, got to spend my xmas money on something
In your opinion how can you best describe the difference between the ATT and the Timeless?
loading the R41 with a feather? i will absolutely try this as i dont mind feather blades. The sharpness is of no concern to me the only thing that i dont like of the feathers v the polsilvers is the smoothness factor. I find the feathers a little rough, which with a R41 may be an issue, but then again it may not be, i will try it shortly for sure.
but the comment with one ATG pass.. wow!! that is something that would of never crossed my mind and i dont really feel comfortable with that but once i get a few more weeks practice with the R41 under my belt i will give it a try, only because of the potential of a 1 pass BBS, imagine that!!!
as for SE.. these actually put fear in me and i doubt i will ever have the nerve to try one out
If your thinking of waiting for Christmas, the yanks go mad with their Black Friday sales in November with some crazy prices. Save your pennies, I know I am.
Kai's are as sharp as Feathers but much smoother. ButI think this has more to do with the fact, that Feathers are very thin and most razors are not made to lock them in perfectly...therefore you get a tiny amount of blade chatter...
Kai's on the other hand are exactly on the opposite side of the spectrum and probably the thickest modern DE blade I know.
ATT has a very low profile head similar to the Wolfman I prefer that...it also holds blades perfectly...it reminds of a great German tool - works perfectly, last forever but no useless bling

A 5 pack is only about $AU3.50 plus some cheap postage. They get blades to me here in NZ in about 7 days.

Kais are nice in the Timeless OC too.
thanks for the heads up on that @Errol.. hanging for november, hopefully the aussie $$ improves also.. might be a ATT H1 (or H2) Windsor with my name on it out there
I saved some $ when I purchased my RAW RS-10 through Maggard Razors when their sales were on.
