There are still many that I haven't gotten yet, such as Paradigm SE, Rocnel, Mongoose, King Cobra, Cobra Classic, etc.

Is the Rx v2 good for daily shaving? Is it super agressive or medium aggressive? Thank you in advance for the answer sir.

I have the most aggressive AC razor and use Kai Protouch MG Guard blades. I think I use them occasionally when I shave after growing my beard for 4 days or more.
I heard on Korea forums that Kai Premium Guard blades are definitely better than other blades.

Are these more comfortable and sharper, then proguards and Kai protouch?

 

[Fedsbackhand]

I've heard good things about them too but you will need to import them from Japan. I've not seen them for sale internationally.

I don't know because I haven't used Kai Premium blades.

Rx2 x Kai Premium review on Korean forum

Asylum is very smooth? Only WTG loses most of its beard. I don't want to waste lather, so I used XTG and ATG, but I didn't feel any aggressiveness. This is really good I think I'll use it often^^

RX2 x Feather Pro Review

When I shaved with Feather blade on Asylum, I realized right away that Asylum is an aggressive razor. Kai Premium Guard is really good. I finished shaving while fully enjoying the taste of the blade for the first time in a while.

That's right. We import it from Japan and use it in Korea.

Has anyone tried and can compare the Vestige and the La Faulx with similar base plates? Ignoring the blade format, which one is your favorite based on the shave they provide?

I mentioned this a few posts back. I have both in ++ and the La Faulx is slightly more efficient. Both are comfortable shavers to me.

 

[gdawg55]

Do they differ in comfort as well?

Sorry for my delayed response. They are both comfortable but the La Faulx for me is the most comfortable and smooth.

Can someone post a picture of the no7 handle combined with the La Faulx head?

 

[ShadowShaver86]

For me, the SS La Faulx ++ plate is very similar to the Vector SB standard plate - but much more smoother, and I have used both - keeping the La Faulx and selling the SS Vector. I also have SS +++ plate, which does bump up the efficiency of the La Faux, and I can only use this plate if I’m shaving a weeks growth off.

is the +++ plate able to be used comfortably everyday since the angle is shallow by nature? or would you say ++ is better for everyday efficency and smoothness?

+++ plate I am not able to use it daily for more than 3 days straight. ++ I am able to but won't have much to shave the following day. I prefer my Classic as a daily shaver.

YMMV

I cannot shave with the +++ (ultra) plate on a daily basis - for me only, I use this plate to take down a weeks growth. I much prefer the ++ plate as my daily driver, although I tend to shave every other day - unless I have a client meeting that I have to attend.

The No.7 looks gorgeous. Anyone have it in a big gap (1.5)?

 

[SeaDiving]

I have the + la faulx. Remind me a lot of the overlander. I can see it used as a daily driver, but for me it lacks a little but in efficiency. I think I will get the ++ plate. Now I could end up with the + plate not efficient enough and the ++ plate too agressive.

Still cruising along with the La Faulx loaded with said Kai blade (7). Another excellent shave, another buttery smooth one. "Two passes plus". Just nice. Almost BBS. 👍

Where can I order these blades? Do they ship to Europe?

I was fortunate enough to test the Classic, + and ++ plates before purchasing. The mildest is the Classic. I found that with the Feather Pro Super, it brought the efficiency of the Classic up to a + and the + up to a ++. So i bought the Classic and the ++ plates and they work very well, even without the Pro Super.

Thank you for the feedback. Do you find the ++ too agressive? Have you tested any guarded blades with the ++ plates?
