    Default Finally, the perfect combo!

    After trying seemingly every blade out there, and three different razors, I've found the perfect pairing.

    Tech (mine's a Travel Tech I picked up for 50c) and a medical-grade Personna. Smooth, clean, and absolutely flawless.

    The others, with notes:

    The Slim has confused me- it seems a little inconsistent. Maybe a good cleaning is in order. Fine shaver, though.

    The Superspeed is an excellent shaver. It can be a bit aggressive, so blades don't last as long.

    With the sample packs:

    Derbys- never got a good shave from them.
    Gillette 7 o'clock yellow/black- smooth, don't last very long.
    Crystals- almost as good as the IPs, but one fewer shave.
    Dorco 301 and 300- both average.
    Merkur- never got along with my face, despite trying different razors.
    Nacet- decent blades, harder to find in bulk.
    Shark- sharp, but a touch rough.
    Sharp- in my experience, misnamed.
    Bic Chrome- rough, but good after corking.
    Lord Platinum- very nice blades, but a bit inconsistent.
    Feathers- sharp, but need corked to settle down the roughness. Nice backup.
    Prep Personnas- my perfect blade.

    Where do you get your medical grade Personnas from? I wish I had gone into the medical field so I could raid the stockrooms.

    Here you go. Not sure what they're "Prep" for- surgery prep is all electric, to minimize cuts and possible infection.
