I have been doing a daily test with the Pace 7 and the Gillette Fusion ProShield. I started with new razors on each and used the
Cremo Shave Cream. I shave half my face with the Pace and the other half with the Gillette. I shave in the same method and and make sure I use the same number of strokes. I then have the wife decide which side feels smoother. I am 6 days in and the results are as follows:
Can't Tell a difference: 4 times
Pace 7: 2 times
Gillette: 0 Times
Going to keep doing the half/half shave for a month and then have her judge again to see how they held up. Thus far the Pace 7 is the way to go simply due to the 12 razor heads for $12 deals that happen so often. I also like the handle on the Pace 7 better as well. Its not as slippery when it gets wet.
