you can not really say that this is a bad razor now. Compared to the old loose-blade models 50 years ago or the first 2-blade fixed head-shavers it is certainly better - especially one cuts through the impressive Gillette pivot-head technology not; something which in my experience Gillette Wilkinson something has advance ... But shaving performance itself is simply bad, especially compared to the "old" Mach 3 and the Wilkinson Quattro. I always get the impression that the blade on the shaving cream (I use the recommended Gillette fusion gel) floats. Only after several moves I feel, ever get hold of his beard. I guess that is Klingenkonstuktion but simply become too wide through the entire blade. And this trimmer is anyway only a bad joke. Since you're paying for something not at all works. Add to this the significantly higher "operating costs" compared with the M3 (which are already low and not). That hold the blades for an extra charge longer, I can not confirm yet, rather even a little shorter. I'll tuck the razor as travel utensil and use until the blades that were purchased by me in action pack about to run out, and then he will probably disappear in the final sinking ...
