PAA Prismatic DE Razor
Re: PAA Prismatic DE Razor
I enjoyed using the Prismatic for a few days, and now I'm putting it in the box with my other razors. It was just fine, but today I went with the Rocket HD500/Kai combo again, and it's obvious I should stay with the Rocket. I'm glad I have the Prismatic, just not a game-changer in my case.

After more usage I agree with this. Fortunately, my Techs & my Krona have forgiven my brief "infidelity".
Re: PAA Prismatic DE Razor
I tend to agree. It is a decent razor, and a unique concept, but didn't really have a hook for me. I'm glad it is in my collection, but it probably won't see much use. I tried the DOC, and found it to be too mild with Polsilver SI. I will try a Feather in it next, and I prefer the DOC a bit more than the Prismatic.

After more usage and tinkering I agree with Mantic on this one. I refused to give up and learned its perks & angles so to speak and was rewarded with simply stellar performance. Incredible razor when used properly.

Re: PAA Prismatic DE Razor
As a result of even more continued usage with this lil' gem and other causes I have sold all my other DE razors, except for one Krona, two Techs & a "flare tip". Regardless, the shaves I am getting after taking the time to learn this razor are just simply fantastic. Because of the vast bade exposure I can easily adjust the angle for any contour on my face. That's the best way I can find to describe it. And to think the razor this was based upon utilized the safety bar concept almost ten years before Gillette!! I'm glad I didn't give up on it right away.
I thought I'd bring this thread back to life in case any new people are wondering what DE razor to buy. I cannot recommend this one enough.
