Sorry I can't help much, obie and Geezer may be able to help more. Hopefully they will see my post and jump in. If not I might even go and prod them

Pro guard is the same as proguard except proguard has a wire wrapped aroung it.

I've read some (minority) saying pros are sharper than supers

Lite is shortest then pro/proguard then supers.

Thank You RG

The Dorco Super and the Captain Kai PINK have projection very similar to the Feather Pro.

I have always used the Professional blades, they give me everything that I need, but my understanding is that the Pro Guard is less aggressive than the Light.
(Whether anyone would want to use a more expensive blade with a small wire strung in front of the edge is another matter.)


Hence, you would need to change the position of the first two blades on your list.

The Light blades have the shortest projection of the Feather line.
They are principally used for Cosmetic purposes, mostly as an exfoliant they are so "mild". (not that they won't cut you)
And if you think that the Feather Guard will give you a pass on cuts and weepers when used with too much "energy" you are in for a surprise.

IMHO Nirai has the order correct, YMMV.

Smooth Shaving...

I've tried a few of these, and I find the professionals to be the most 'lethal' in that they'll give you the best shave, but you better be light in your touch and landing.

I use the ProGuard and they offer a very sharp blade. I find I get more shaves from them then the Pro. I also found the Pro to be inconsistent in quality. It takes 3-4 shaves to break them in. I have also gotten some Pros that were down right dull. I use them in my Kai Captain and the shave is smooth and close. Not as close as my straights. A well honed straight is really a pleasure to use.
