What blades do you use?

I swear by Kai, they work incredibly well for me.

Not op but I'm a big feather guy. Great blades. Haven't tried Kai though.

Kai is a bit different than other brands

They come more dull than feathers and they’re a thicker gauge steel than other blades use. I still find them plenty sharp though.

The thicker steel is what I think makes them good for me. My beard hairs are very heavy and thick, so thicker steel reduces vibrations as it cuts giving me a more reliable shave.

I generally use each blade 6 times, which is good longevity for a blade.

I also kinda like that they’re no frills. No laser etching or waxy drops on the blades. Feels like something Ron Swanson would use.

Shaving revolution. I literally just bought them off Amazon, and they had good reviews. Bought 100 for 20 dollars. It says Japanese, but I'm honestly just going off thier word. That said I have 0 complaints, they work great.
