Razorock Mamba .53? Or... Razorock Mamba .70?

I own the OG Mamba .53 and found it to be a real nice and smooth shaver. A 3 pass razor that gave solid results day in and day out. Now, this coming from someone that thinks a 9/8ths wedge is a smooth operator. Nonetheless, I saw a Mamba .70 on the B/S/T for sale at a fair price so, I took a chance. Two shaves in and it has been a remarkably smooth shaver that is equal to the .53 but, it exhibits better cutting prowess and better face feel that is subtle yet noticeable, to me at least. I think that the .70 is a fantastic upgrade from the .53 in all facets. Truly a wonderful razor that delivers....

To those that have experienced either or both, what's your preference? Do you prefer the increased efficiency of the .70 while still keeping the relative smoothness of the OG or, is the .53 just about perfect in being both smooth and comfortable in your daily shave routine?

Say the word brother. Can get it out to you in a jiffy. I think you'd be pleasantly surprised. I know I certainly was.

Regular, OC, and wide big gap tooth Jaws OC. I’m tempted to attempt a pass around if someone could help with running it I am not sure how active I can be forums wise for the unforeseen future.

My presence will be scaling back going forward but if no one else will, I would watch it for you TJ. Just let me know if you decide too.
 
I've recently acquired both. I'm shaving with them frequently with different blades to try and decide which head I want to keep. I'm nowhere close to making that final decision. They're both very smooth indeed. I will probably be putting it on a different handle though as I'm not a fan of the one it comes with.
