I've used Kai blades and they're far too sharp. Nowadays I much prefer Voskhod blades, they're much better fitted to my hair and skin.

- Freak_NL 4y agoI've found Astra blades to be good enough for me; quite a step up from the lowest tier (e.g., Bic), but not as fancy as those Japanese blades. Inflation certainly seems like a good motivator for more people to switch to safety blades — wet shaving should be cheap, and it is if one stops buying the stuff marketed the hardest.
- Bayart 4y agoI initially switched years ago because it made more financial sense, but nowadays I just enjoy safety blades more. I don't spend much on blades (10€ for a hundred Voskhod blades lasts me ages), but I do spend a bit on the shaving cream (nothing beats L'Occitane's shaving cream, and it's a local company).
- francesco 4y agoThe sharpest blade is not necessarily the best. The "perfect" blade, should such a thing exist, depends on your razor, beard and technique. Shameless plug: should you start the search for the perfect blade, at https://www.razorbladesclub.com/ https://www.razorbladesclub.com/ you'll find the widest selection of double edge razor blades worldwide.

- OGWhales 4y agoThe razor housing can make a big difference to this as well. I find feathers are far too sharp for me in one of my razors but are excellent in another, while astra blades are perfect in the first one and too dull in the second.
