Tempted to add the OC plate to my Vector this month.

A couple of days left on a sale I believe, got the reminder email today. I think it was.

Going to hold out for the Ti

BUT if anybody willing to lend a Vector SS OC baseplate, promise to baby it and do a writeup.

I don't have one and sold the Ti OC plate I had. If I had one I'd sure send it your way.

Just to update this thread a bit.
 I've had several shaves most of them been with the Kai Protouch.  
I definitely like the Protouch most for daily shaving,  although I would like just a bit more efficiency out of it. With the Protouch I can do plenty of clean up without risking irritation. 
    I'll skip the shave yesterday so today with two days of growth I went to the Feather Super Professional Blade. 
   I used the new grooming Department Maxima base which was just extraordinarily protective and a pleasure to use. With this combination I was able to go over my 2 days of growth thoroughly with plenty of Strokes to get it down to about as good as it gets for me. I will say that the grooming Department soap I used was very lightly scented well being very slick and enjoyable. 
    I'll probably go back to the middle range of these blades because I feel like I've tagged mildest blade and most efficient ends, for me at this point.

Revisited the Feather ProGuard, riding the cap with zero pressure but still cut and irritated the face...badly.

Definitely a SoftGuard guy with the Vector Ti.

I had a few more shaves with the Kai Protouch not to bad for me.
  Used the Feather Super Professional on a 2 day growth, super close first pass and kinda quick shave.
  Feather Professional still isn't my favorite and the Kai Mild fell back to a rougher shave. My face hasn't felt totally healed yet and that's 2 DE shaves later, go figure.

Follow-up:

Feather ProGuard shave was NOT as BBS smooth nor long lasting as the SoftGuard. Yes, fully realize the ProGuard is empirically and irrefutably sharper. However, for whatever reason, with the same razor, soap and technique, ProGuard delivered a substantially inferiour shave for me.

Feather SoftGuard used today and resulted in a perfect BBS without irritation.

Good conformation shave, always good to get the same outcome on these things.
