Hello!

I have tried to find info on these two razor but I could not find enough comparisons to tilt in favor of either version. Thought I'd try my luck here. Out of those who have tried both versions (old version with 12 nibs and newversion with 17 nibs on the safety bar), do you find any difference in how they shave? Is one smoother or more comfortable than the other? More efficient perhaps?

Appreciate all the input I can get.

Pic for reference. Not mine.

Old Clog pruf with 12 nibs to the left. Peerless with 17 nibs to the right.

The Peerless is known to be a bit more efficient and the better of the two. It's not a huge difference.

In a blindfold test I would bet you couldn't tell the difference.
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

Nope, probably couldn't.
