Proline B-20 in Schick G1

[PALORAZOR]

Incredibly smooth and sharp shave with the B-20. FAR smoother than the Chick. I was concerned about the alignment and blade exposure/gap, but seems no issue, blade is aligned and give slightly more exposure. Will measure the gap next time. Perfect for me. Loaded from a Schick cartridge.

For comparison:

Second day on this blade/razor. Incredibly smooth and close shave.

You’re right! I got mine out today and loaded it with a B-20 and it was a very fine head and face shave. That said, when I tried it with my E-1 it was just too much blade exposure, and I so I spent a lot of time getting it just right (left to right) with the G-1. As I say, it worked out well this time, but once burned, twice shy; and it will take a while, if ever, before I can just shoot in a new blade with the E-1 and shave away.

Thanks for posting this.
