Kai DE blades

[stillshunter]

Just wondering if anyone here has had experience with these DE blades?

Be very keen to hear your impressions.....and your kind offer to PIF me a few...or swap them for blades of your choosing.

I have heard the Kais are close to Feather sharp but smoother.

I'm getting that curious I'm thinking of a blind buy from OS. I know they aint cheap but then again if that was the aim of my game I would have stuck with cartridge razors and canned goop.

Have I ever said how much I love this place. Onya @Monsta_AU for building a 'king great community!

Fantastic blades! As sharp as a feather with the smoothness of a PolSolver!

Only problem is the price and that I could only get 2 decent (4 pass) shaves out of a blade

You're gonna love them - and if you find an affordable supplier I'm definitely in

I believe Daiso stocks them for $2.80 a packet.

Don't you bloody dare. New thread with tag thanks, if one does not already exist.

Appreciate the sentiment, but you aren't out of the woods yet boy!

Unfortunately that's still 56$ for 100 blades

I'm not sure of the packet size though...
If in store, grab some of their dried mango.

I'll have to find where these Daiso places are. What are they.....a "variety store"?...can't find them online.

Japanese equivalent of the dollar store. Ubiquitous in Asia, I think I've also seen one or two in Melbourne and Sydney.

Thanks mate. So not online then I assume?

Looks like a 'competitor' - www.daisostore.com.au

Worth the trip to a store alone (tip, buy a box, as they sell out frequently).

 

[eggbert]

Meh, I just go out into the yard.

Please Mr Bert of the egg variety, send me a sample of your dried mango wares

Thanks @Monsta_AU I see they're peppered around SYD. Noting stores in Parra, Blacktown and Merrylands, another visit to the badlands (my old stomping ground) might be in order....I assume that's where the blades would most likely be in stock / gather dust....while the City, Chatswood etc., is where the hipsters might have eroded supplies.

 

[Monsta_AU]

I don't think you would have too many hipsters buying blades. They all sport ridiculous beards these days.

 

[eggbert]

But if they do shave, it will either be with a straight, or an SE - and you know SE users will have to sport some kind of silly moustache.
