I love the Progress. I was pretty disappointed with DE shaving until I tried it. The EJ DE89 just didn't work for me. I usually start on 3 for WTG and XTG then go down to 2 ATG. Today I decided to start on 4 as I had three days growth and forgot to turn it down for the ATG pass :icon_eek: Mind you I find it a very forgiving razor but at the same time it shaves incredibly close.
