Shaver:
Blade size, number ~ and ~ distance comparable to the Mach3. However, by 3 Lubrastrips and rounded at the sides of the shaving head is already a lot bigger, but well dimensioned. 3 blade I feel as optimal. For shaving völllig sufficient and much better to clean than 4 or 5-blade razor. That's why I came back for facial shaving and the Gillette Fusion (5 blades) to my old Mach3.
Handle:
Taking the shaver for the first time in the hand, it surprises that the handle is so easy. Otherwise, one is used to from Gillette "heavy" metal handles that convey through her feel even more value than cheap (disposable) razor with plastic handle. But if you left out the weight can be, so you recognize the advantages of the new handle as the razor's intended for body shaving. It may indeed happen that people (I do not) shave while taking a bath. If you were to lose a normal razor, so this falls to the ground. The Gillette Body, however, floats so you can immediately grab him again. But the handle itself has a good grip, so it should rarely fall during shaving from his hand. At the far end it is slightly thicker to allow to grip with your thumb in order to get to harder to reach areas (eg. Back). While this works reasonably, but would you really NEN hairy back, you would probably not achieve anything without the help with this razor.
Shave:
The razor glides well on the skin. Corner due to the rounding of nowhere and had no skin irritations result in me. However, he is rather designed to "scale shaves". If one would want to shave so somewhere contours that would be a result of the spacing of the blades to the rim of the cartridge rather hardly possible.
Holder:
Actually, you're used to it by Gillette that a suitable bracket supplied with the shaver. That's when Gillette Body unfortunately not the case and justified my deduction of 1 star. Here I would have liked, a holder requested specifically for the shower that you could fix it with Saugnaft on the tiles.
Conclusion:
All in all, I said Gillette Body express my buy recommendation. The only drawback is the lack of support. Otherwise, however, the shaver is top.
