This was my most systematic comparison of my Model 1.0 and 2.0 Shake Sharp . The Model 1.0 I loaded with second use Kai (bottom) and Treet Plat (top). The Model 2.0 I loaded in three different configurations, same twin blades as loaded in the 1.0, single blade Treet, and Treet with a top shim. I made XTG and ATG passes on the side , crown, and back of my head. In no configuration was the 2.0 as smooth or as effective as the Model 1.0, and it wasn't really close.

I have another Model 2.0 on the way to test to see whether results differ.[Image: 356617a8f38589a8619b32d71fa354c8.jpg]

I recently picked up a Model 1.0 and took some pictures to compare it to the 2.0. I realize this is an old thread, but it seemed like a good place to add these photos.

So this razor takes regular DE blades and only shaves with one side?

Correct and also some double stack a de blade to give it more the rigidity of the blades from it's era and some don't. I have all 3 models(I need to reduce to just one) myself and LOVE their shaves.

Interesting. Did it used to have its own proprietary blade or something?

I honestly don't know if it had a proprietary blade or it was designed to use the typical blades like Gillette back then which we all know were thicker. An older member I believe still on the Forum here is the one that told me to double stack the blades which is what he always did and put me in the habit but it works just as well I believe without double stacking them. I would have to experiment again soon though to verify that.
