I haven't shaved with a Progress so can't comment. I've had the GC for about two months and have been steadily improving my shave with it, but the Perma Sharp Super represents a big improvement in comfort.
One shaver, one razor blade brand, one shave cream and one after shave.

Hi,
There was a time I would have said my life long and trusty Gillette Slim with GSB blades. But after getting a Schick L type Injector I could shave forever with it.
Yellow package "Chick" blades
Yaqi Tuxedo synthetic brush
Col Conk Natural Shave Soap
Clubman AS
I've tried some great vintage razors and a goodly number of different blades. I've gone through cheap and expensive soaps - horse hair, boar, and badger brushes - a smattering of AS. But my list is the one that works best for me.

Well, that'll never happen. But I'll play along.
Vintage Gillette New Deluxe head on Ikon Bulldog handle
Gillette Silver Blue
The Fat 'As Shaving Soap (If I can only have one, it sure won't be a cream. This a 50/50 combo of MWF and Haslinger Schafmilch.)
RazoRock 400 with butterscotch handle and noir knot (can't shave without a brush so I'm adding one in there.)
