Participation PIF.
Ninth week and second last shave in this Participation PIF. Last blade of course is the Indian Gillette 7 O’clock Green blade. Another okay shave this morning, no blood and just a little more sting when I applied my Alum Block. Overall I quite like this blade but I do like Gillette 7 O’clock blades.Thanks to @Grundi and @lancre for this PIF.
6th shave with the Treet 7 Days. The blade wasn’t rough or tugging, but it wasn’t cutting well enough.
The Treet 7 Days removed the beard well for the first 4 shaves per side. It isn’t as sharp as some, but it was comfortable.
The 7 O’Clock and the 7 a.m. just didn’t quite do it for me. I could use them. I don’t think, with my beard the way it is now, that I would acquire more of these two.

Participation PIF final shave.
Week nine and today was the final shave for me in this wonderful Participation PIF. Seventh and final shave on the Indian Gillette 7 O’clock Green blade. No blood this morning, I did have some sting when I applied my Alum Block but luckily there was no red marks either. I would have to rate the Indian Gillette 7 O’clock as my preferred blade in this Participation PIF. Many thanks to @lancre for suppling the blades and @Grundi for distributing the blades all around the world. Can’t wait for the next challenge.Razor: Razorock Mission
Brush: Razorock plisoft synthetic (bruce handle)
Soap: Art of Shaving peppermint
Blade: Treet 7 days Platinum
Used this blade for past 2 weeks, shaved 4 times. It's a mild-medium blade, best used in an aggressive razor. I also have a DE89 and 34C, which I wouldn't pair with this blade. It's also nicked me a couple times, so overall it's a decent medium blade with some rough edges.

I realized that I never posted conclusions for this PIF.
It goes to show that there can be large variables in blade and razor combos. I really like the Treet 7 Days, but not in a Tech. The 7 AM felt better than the 7 Days in the Tech, but I would need to experiment more with it. There might have been some QC issue with the 7 o'clocks. It was ok in the Tech, but the other blade tore my skin up in the SuperSpeed. In the SuperSpeed, the 7 Days and 7 AM were pretty close, with the Treet a little better. The Gillette was excluded for giving me 3rd degree razor burn.
I also had a vintage 7 AM that I tried. It was bad. I have been hesitant to try any more blades from the company, but it seems they have made great improvements. Now that they produce multiple brands, I would consider buying others to try.
