Today was a Gillette Old with a RR Titanium handle and a Feather blade. Ok shave but not great.

Well the big surprise for me is that there is a clear winner between the first two razors, so clear that I see no need to try again.

The winner in this first round was the RazoRock Old Type and by a wide, wide margin.  The shave was far more comfortable, closer, with absolutely no irritation, no snags, no bites, no drag, no pull, no nicks, no scratches and even right over where the Gillette bit me yesterday. Final result was not just PDG but PDG+.

Yesterday I felt a need to switch back to the ATT G1 for final cleanup but not today.  The RazoRock Old Type is a definite winner.

The RazoRock goes into the winners bracket while the Gillette Old goes into the losers.

I'll first work through all the DE lineup and then do single elimination of the winners in the first round and end by comparing the best of the DEs to other blade formats, GEM, Feather FHS, Valet and AC format.
