I can't really add anything new to what has been said about this razor but I want to give it some praise and love. I started DE shaving with a Weber and never have clicked with it. I bought from BST a Tradere SB which was a smoother and more efficient shave on my beard. I then bought an ATT R1 Colosus and have found it to be my favorite razor so far. The R1 removes my beard effortlessly and it feels like I hold it at a more natural angle compared to the Tradere SB. Up to this point, my ATT R1 is my favorite razor followed by the Tradere. But then I had decided to try the Gillette New OC I bought a while but never used. I paired the head to a SABI T1 handle because the original is cracked and loaded a Polsilver SI. The SABI handle is the only one I have that fits neatly in the baseplate. The PolsilverSI is the only blade I use and in all razors to help me compare razors. The performance of the Gillette is absolutely amazing. It cuts so well and so smoothly that I was wondering at times if I had the right angle. It doesn't cut as much as my R1 but it is smoother. For me, it is an excellent trade off between my R1 in efficiency and my Tradere in smoothness. I have to now rate my favorites as first ATT R1 >Gillette New >Tradere SB
Wish I had discovered this razor sooner. What an excellent tool!
