 I'm not sure if it's as close as yesterday in the difficult spot because the skin is taking a hit for the team.
 Let's see what it feels like tomorrow I might have to swap up because I got a little sore spot.
 I broke out the heavy hitter ABC Balm I have because I'm needing some extra skin help

I like the Kai Captain blade in my Ti Vector for a really close shave but I probably use the Kai Captain Titan ProTouch MG more often as it is less likely to generate nicks.

For the ATT SE1 I like the Feather ProGuard blade (so far) as removing the Kai Captain Titan ProTouch MG from that razor last time was a challenge. Today I was shaving with a Mongoose SS (B2) razor and I used a Feather Pro since I had three days growth and did not think it was wise to use a guarded blade (from past experience with other razors). It did pretty well in that razor. So don't be surprised if you like different blades in different razors.

Taking the Kai Protouch out of your ATT SE1 sure doesn't sound like fun and probably not so safe.
    I'm hoping with some comfortable close shaves I'll enjoy the AC razor more. 
 Probably enough time wasn't spent with this Vector because of razor swapping almost daily. 
Not to mention this is my 3rd Vector Ti I've owned.
The shaving every day sure helps get rid of the first pass tugging which was definitely a negative like others have experienced too

So I've been messing around shaving with the Vector titanium still and the Kai Captain blade for every other day shaves .
Seems like the extra recovery time for the skin really helped the skin.
These Captains are delivering pretty close shaves although not as comfortable as I might prefer, but not bad.

I missed shaving yesterday but went back with the Kai Mild blade.  
With some Ethos pre shave and Grooming Department soap, it seem to be a noticeably smoother shave than the Captain and comparatively close.

So what are you guys think when comparing the Kai Captain vs Kai Mild AC blades?

Much prefer the Kai Mild and the Protouch MG over the standard Captains

In the Vector Ti, I found the Kai Captain Blade to be smoother than the Kai Captain Titan Mild. I also found the Kai Captain Blade easier to remove from the top cap.

Based on the smoothness factor, I think the Kai Captain Titan ProTouch MG blades are just the Kai Captain Blade with a guard applied.
The Kai Captain Blade and Kai Captain Titan ProTouch MG are my current favorites for the Vector Ti.

That's right a lot of you fellas like yourself have several different AC razors so that probably matters also.
 In the Vector probably the Kai Captain blade gives you a closer shave than the Kai mild?

 Appreciate the feedback it's interesting to see how that falls with us different guys. 
   I'm glad I'm staying hooked to this Vector razor for plenty of shaves, it's definitely helping me the shaves I want out of the thing.

I would say the Kai Captain blade gives me a closer shave than the Kai Captain Titan Mild in the Vector Ti. Keep in mind, I shave every other day, so I need a blade that doesn't get stuck in the stubble. In a barber razor (like a Kai Captain standard), I think I prefer the Kai Captain Titan Mild as the Kai Captain blade is a little too sharp for me.
