Mild shavers

I did enjoy the Progress, just couldn't befriend the head, too bulky (even though I enjoy the PILS) and hard to shave under the nose? Same with the Megress, although this got rid of that plastic end :)
The Progress is aimed at the more mature shaver -- someone with a finger's width between nose and upper lip. The plastic end is emblematic of the Progress, and as such, an icon should never be denigrated, Lather Boy! :roflmao: I also remember a post you wrote a couple of years ago exclaiming the merits and sophistication of the Progress' head. How soon they forget.

Can't complain about being called young, although my pre-pubescent stubble still equates to around a finger width, middle finger if we're being technical :) I'm not surprised I heralded the razor, I was future proofing sales so we could have enough ferrules in the future.

I have aTatara and have a love/hate relationship with it. I think we all need a mild razor in the rotation but I want to use it more than I do, when I do it disappoints. I have agreed a trade for another mild razor, one I have had before when my technique was not as good, the ATT S1. Hopefully I can get the best out of it now. Mild razors do come in handy at times, such as holidays.

Strangely I couldn't get along with the S1. I found it to be milder than the original Mamba. The S2 is a different beast. I probably should have given it a longer run, used it 3 times only.

I feel the same about all the ATT's which is why I'm happy to revisit it. If it is still mild I shall keep it for holidays when I shave daily.

The Guerrilla has fallen back into favour and I now more or less have a three razor rotation - PILS, Guerrilla, GC .68.

I'm more and more finding myself going the smooth, mild, but still efficient route. 40's Super Speed and Canadian Tech are the best in my collection. I more and more feel that I'd rather find a nice Aristocrat than try some of the modern offerings, just because I get such great shaves from the Super Speed, but really not loving the handle.
