I have been experimenting with these two razors. I really wanted to like the Gillette, but it seems like no matter how I set it, hold it, or what blade, cream or soap I use I can't get a comfortable shave out of it. If it's set low enough to be comfortable it leaves my face un-smooth. Higher and it's no fun. It's funny - I can stop midway through a rough and uncomfortable Gillette shave, swap the blade into my Progress and it's like night and day - and I can open the Progress way up! I guess my face just doesn't like it or something!
I have a NIB SS I'm going to try. Maybe I'll have better luck with it.
