I've been curious about the Peerless for a while, as I've heard some other folks mention that they prefer it to the "regular". I'm not optimistic that I'll be able to tell a difference, but I do harbor some hope that it may raise the Clog-Pruf's ranking a bit in the den. When it comes in, it will definitely be showing up on Micromatic Monday. In a blindfold test, could you tell the difference between the Micromatic and the Clog-Pruf? I don't think I could.

I believe the count is 11 on the regular and 17 on the peerless but I would have to count them again to verify. To me the peerless seems more efficient. I like both though.

Probably was just something to get people to buy a new razor although the I believe the Peerless is more efficient than the standard Clog-Pruf. However I have no real way of determining if it is all in my head or actually in the shave quality. I have long felt an affectve placebo effect is still effective. I would like to think I could. I don't plan on shaving blindfolded to find out though.

I don't know what the peerless sets were all about, I thought it was just a marketing thing to sell more stuff. Special box, different handle, cool name, just to catch consumer interest. Yep, anything is "better" if you think it is.

I remember having this discussion a few years back about how the newer shaving creams and gels resulted in more clogging. I say this because GEM may have produced a "clog proof" for a need people had as a result of using certain mediums. Also, the razors that Barbasol sourced were closed comb type with generous blade exposure. RE: Micromatic Monday - Twelvefret - 08-15-2021 Micromatic Monday approaches. Are you in?
