When I was trying to get a comfortable setup with the Vector, I picked up some AC blades to try. The Schick Prolines were the best for me in the Vector. But the Vector and I had a short, but somewhat intense 5-month relationship. No matter what I did, riding cap or guard, I could not get my end-goal of a Really Comfortable Shave (full disclosure: I "borrowed" RCS from another user on another forum, as I like it as a goal better than the DFS or BBS Wink ) While thinking about which razor to use next week, I realized that I never tried the other blades in either the Hawk or the General. Any thoughts on these blades? Or whether you noted certain blades work better in one AC razor versus another? I have used the Prolines exclusively since late Spring. But I do have two different Kai blades that were touted in another neighborhood, and recently picked up some Feathers, the Pros shown here and the super pros, which I understand are probably more than I want to deal with! However, I decided that since the Hawk and the General work for me (achieving RCS), maybe I should tinker with other blades and see if something else works better. Or at least as good and I can use up the packs I have. Thanks for any comments/advice/tips and even jokes!

Where can I get Schick Injector blades in Canada? I don't want to buy from Amazon, which seems to be where a lot of people buy them.

I find that the first (and sometimes second) shave with a new Gem SE blade is always harsh for me. I expect it, so I plan accordingly (never use a new blade before an important event, and plan to not shave for at least 3 days afterwards). After the first or second shave, I can usually get around 20 more outstanding shaves from a blade before it starts to dull a little. I find this impressive, since I have a coarse beard. 

Anyways, I'm curious if there's any way to avoid this initial harshness, that won't affect the longevity of the blade.

As well normal shavettes with hald DE blades.
Already offers the AC blades separately, at a good price.
Now it expands its offerings, not only on modern SEs.

These blades seem interesting to me.
Type Feather (Proshave)

Type Kai Captain (Blue, without guard)

Type Kai ProTouch (Red, with guard)

On average they have a price of about € 0.50 per blade.

These days I am doing a test with the Sapphoo Red blade.
This is formally proposed as a replica of the Kai Captain Titan Mild MG ProTouch.

The first use (yesterday) was less comfortable than the original.
Even today, the feeling is that the edge is different.
Same effectiveness, but different protection.
In fact it can be seen that the guard is different.
The protections are wider, and less rounded.

To the eye they are very similar.
There are only a few differences:
• welding points, four instead of seven and less sharp
• straight shape of the guard openings, instead of a taller and wider bell shape
• the primary bevel is longer, and the secondary bevel shorter (different angle)
• steel has a different color and texture, due to the lack of Titanium and PINK treatments

So the performance, albeit similar, is different.
In the short term, I don't think the real differences can be understood.
I find no abysmal differences with the originals, especially after the first use.
Indeed the quality of Kai is the long-lasting ability of high performance.
I think this detail is difficult to replicate.]]> It makes copies of Feather / Kai razors with Artist Club blades.
