Well I decided after several months with my Trac II to go back and use both a SE and a DE again for comparison. It took about half a shave with my Schick E3 to remember why I ditched my Schick 50 years ago. The DE, a Standard Razor that used to be my daily use razor was OK, comparable to the Trac II. The DE was not as close or maneuverable as the Trac II under my nose, under my lower lip and around the chin area, a little better than the Trac II for trimming the sideburns. Neither the SE or the DE were as comfortable as the Trac II nor did they shave closer. As I expected there was no irritation from any of them.
I'll stick with the Trac II.
