Kai
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- So too are Astra Green, BIC Chrome Platinum, and KAI.
- The blades are sharp and smooth and lovely. Not sure they are worth the price over 7 O'Clock Yellows however.
- Other sharp blades I've found to be pretty smooth have been ... Kai
- Kai, nacet and accutec are other good options.
- I'd recommend a Kai or Tojiro as good brands to look at, as you can get something totally decent without a huge investment.
Cons
- Nacets and Minora. Kai maybe.
- Still technically going, I have Kai’s and Feather’s left.
- The Kais were just rough for me.
- Kai is the only blade that I absolutely hated in my Henson. They're a little bigger than the average blade, which made them aggressive in a clumsy terrible way.
- the Kai are wider than the Feather or any other blades. The blade exposure it larger. That makes them pretty aggressive for my taste, but the best way to find out is trying them.

Japanese nail cutters like green bell and Kai are great
but yet Kai works the best for me .
Nacets and Minora. Kai maybe.
Kai smokes these blades.
The KAIs aren’t as sharp initially, but give good shaves. I hit 25 shaves on a KAI before I had to swap it out, max I’ve pushed a feather is 15. I have a bunch of Feathers left, but when they run out I’m buying more KAI.
