3 pass mustache and chin area, 2 pass neck, 1 pass elsewhere. Touch up pass on the right side of the neck.
Last documented time I shaved with the CJB was May of 2020, so it has been a while since I have used it. Several other razors in other blade formats as well as other AC style razors (safety and barber style) have distracted me from using the CJB. My lather has improved since then for this type of shave (have gone for a wetter, sloppier lather). I shaved on the right with the CJB and on the left with the Kai. I had three nicks from the CJB. I had one bad weeper on my neck but I think that was from me getting over zealous with the Schick on a cleanup pass. Zero nicks from the Kai. I would say the blade feel of these two razors were comparable. I would say the Kai was a little bit smoother and shaved a hair closer than the CJB (but the results between both razors was almost identical). Historically, the handle of the CJB could get slippery when wet, so I would say the Kai has a better grip. I would say the CJB loaded the wet blade better than the Feather SR folding did in my previous comparison shave. Maybe someday I will do a comparison of the Feather SR kamisori vs. the CJB kamisori. From my research, the CJB is a clone of the Feather RG and has a similar head to the Feather DX (which I now own). Maybe the comparison would have been better between the CJB and the Feather DX.
I switched to the Schick 500 for the third pass for chin and mustache and touch up pass on the right side of my neck.

It is rare that I shave daily and there were several razor combinations that I wanted to try on one day's growth, so I picked two combinations and and did an A/B shave. This was an A/B shave between the Vector/Protouch MG and the Mongoose/Feather Pro.
