Picked up a few of these single blade disposables on eBay, mostly out of curiosity and to help address my need for a non-multi cartridge travel razor when I carry my luggage on the plane.
After a revelatory recent streak of amazing shaves with my '11 Muhle R41 aka The Beast, I knew I was in for a very different experience with this disposable. I'm not crazy about razors that lock you into a very narrow (in this case shallow) angle, but the Permatik's angle is nonetheless easy to track. Getting a close shave required extra passes and touch-up, but I kept the pressure light to avoid razor burn and ended up with a DFS shave. Although I had no redness at the end despite the additional passes, there was more sting from my Imperial aftershave than I get with the R41. The comfort level throughout was very good, and it did strike me as a potential transition razor for multi-blade or electric users who want to move to SE or DE shaving, but desire a slower learning curve.
I'll have to take the Permatik for a couple of more tests, but in my opinion, it's not a bad entry into the travel/beginner shaving realm.
