I like the Pros the best. I used the ProGuard at first, switched to the Pros and liked those best. I even tried the Supers in my ATT SE1 but didn't like them. They were too aggressive for me and gave me horrible razor burn.
They're very sharp. IMO, they're sharper than any tradition straight but more forgiving than a DE shavette.
So from 1 to 7 {7 is the sharpest} what note would you put on the Proguard and to a shave ready razor ?
the short answer is, they are both a 7 in sharpness (on your scale) the diference is no matter how sharp the proguard blades are, the wire cage is never gonna let the edge be as close to your skin as other blades or a shave ready straight is gonna be, but just as @Earcutter stated in his OP is not a matter of sharpness, is a matter of skill, if you know what you are doing, you can get just as good of a shave with a proguard than with any other blade, the difference is how smooth the actual shave is gonna be, and I agree, I love the pros, but the proguards are the way to go for a no fuzz all bliss shave!
Hmmm, tough call. I would say if a Feather is an 8 or 9, a shave ready straight is probably a 6 or 7.
That’s interesting. It’s as though you feel a Feather is some kind of magic laser or something lol. I on the other hand really like my Feather, but know that my straights are just as “sharp.” You need to ship me your favorite straight so I can put an edge on it. You’ll change your tune fast enough I’m sure.
Lol! Ok.
let us know how it goes, but I feel you will like it, my only advise is use a really light touch, as it will feel light and the temptation to add pressure will ensue, but just be patient and let the razor do the work
