Thank you for this big analysis.
It sure would be nice if measurements like yours here were available for all of the popular razor models. Your photo showing blade exposure and angle alone, even apart from your helpful measurements, is very informative. Thanks.
Impressive indeed. Actual data is what most other reviews are lacking (completely), so you are basically left with just an elaborately explained personal opinion. I prefer the scientific approach.
Wow! You should do this for... Well, pretty much every razor you can find then compile them into a book and sell it! I, without hesitation, would add that book to my Amazon cart even if it cost $100. That would be the most detailed record of safety razors to probably ever exist so far. Great work
Great analysis which explains some of the behavior I have encountered with this razor. (After reading this you wonder how the PAA DOC does shave at all. )
I hope you continue with the photo analysis and that you will include classic Gillette Razors too.
Great review though, imo, just a little late!! This combination you reviewed hasn't been available for several months. PAA sells the satin with a 2pc travel handle, the same as the reviewed but nickel plated, and the stainless version which, from all the reviews I've encountered is a completely different razor and shave altogether. I had the nickel version back in February and it didn't last 3wks in my den... Horrible shave to say the least... It would be nice to see indepth reviews like this on newer razors that are just being released than ones that have been around for almost a year or longer...just saying...
Having spent most of my worklife as an analyst, and thus being used to delivering readable reports based on actual facts, I must say that I'm deeply impressed. Thank you for sharing. It was fantastic to read even for a straight razor addict like me.
Indeed I couldAwesome! You can probably tell that I have experience in analysis and technical writing, too.
You could solve a lot of common questions if you were to do the same for the PAA Bakelite Open Comb Slant.
