I just bought a Kai Captain straight today and want to learn with it. I also bought a pack of Kai guard blades. Does anyone have experience with the Kai Captain razor? I heard it has less exposure than a Feather DX.

My fav AC blades are Kai ProTouch.
This combo is super efficient.
For me, even better than lots of straight / kamisori razors.

The Kai Captain is, far and above, my favorite shavette razor.  I find that it gives me great control of the blade.

While it does have slightly less blade exposure than the Feather DX, the differences are subtle.  I believe there is a thread on another forum that lists the AC blade/razor combo from greatest to least exposure.  I'll look for it and report back.

I find that the Kai Captain with the Protouch MG blades is the easiest shave and is least likely to result in nicks or irritation.  I like that Kai Mild (pink blades) for daily shaves, and the Feather Pro Supers for heavy beard growth.  The Feather Pro and Kai Captain Standard blades are good "all-around" blades, and I get a lot of life out of them with proper care.
