The Progress was a surprise for me. I couldn't believe how good it was. I'm not sure why, but I don't use it very often, though. I guess I just have too many razors. My very first DE was a 33c, which I still have. It is a very competent razor, but another one that I don't pick up too often anymore. When I do, I say to myself "this should have been good enough," but I fell down the Bugs Bunny hole, lol.
