Installed a fresh KAI blade in the Recurve RC80+ for this mornings shave. An absolute top notch shave from start to finish. 3 full passes on 2 days growth without a single incident and irritation free shave. Blade feel is ever so slightly bumped up that actually gives a more acute feeling on what the blade is doing regardless of what pass or phase of the shave one is in. Feel is positive whether ATG, XTG & WTG consistently with excellent audible feedback with every stroke on both face & neck. I actually performed a 2 pass head shave that was simply perfection when all was said & done. No touch ups or buffing was needed for both parts of the shave. I felt as though comfort & smoothness were barely compromised with just a slight adjustment in angle (closer to the guard) while ease of use was pretty much the same as with any other blade I’ve used. It’s noticeable without question and one is constantly aware that blade feel is there and a slight mis-step can potentially draw the red liquid but, it clearly is not an intimidating action or a scary one at all. If you want a gentle shaver with minimal blade feel, the RC80+ with another blade is more than capable of satisfying that criteria. However, if you want to pick up the feel & audible zones of the shave exercise, a KAI in the Recurve is definitely worth trying. Excellent shave & results.
