2 pass, no touch ups

I thought I would try the Feather Pro Super with the Kai Kasho Woody. I did not mind the extra blade exposure but the blade was just too rough (non-smooth) for me. After a few shave strokes, I switched to the Kai Captain Blade for the rest of the shave.

I just got a Feather SS kamisori so tried it with a Kai mild protouch mg. Only did the cheeks and I can see there is a lot for me to learn with this razor.
It was a little intimidating but also very cool.
