Razor and Blade Combos

[SteveTheCanuck]

Ones which work for me:
EJ89 + Personna Red
EJ89 + Feather
RazoRock Jaws + Personna Red
RazoRock Jaws + Personna Med Prep (ok)
RazoRock Jaws + Feather (close shave but see below)

Ones which do not:
EJ89 + Personna Med Prep
RR Jaws + Feather (scary harsh)

Personna Reds in the lead so far.

 

[SteveTheCanuck]

Works:
RR Jaws + Gillette Silver Blue (very sharp)

Doesn't Work:
EJ 89 + Gillette Silver Blue (can't get a close shave even when I pay attention to angle, technique etc. Really wanted to like this)

My best combos so far:

Muhle R89+Feather
Muhle R89+Gillette Silver Blue/Bleue Extra
Muhle R41+ Polsilver SI

I'm in the process of finding the best match for Gillette Super Adj. Black Beauty.
