Good razor - but no added value compared to other Gilette razor!

The Gillette Body Shaver comes in an easy-open cardboard packaging and makes the first impression a good figure. It is very easy and is due to its rubberized surfaces when dry very good in the hand. What is striking is the similarity to the Gillette Venus razor for women. My girlfriend was (apart from the color) festellen only minimal differences. Also of shaving there seems no difference.

But short of my experiences with the body shaver.

1. The handling is not ideal. This he is very light, it is not so good in the hand as the ProGlide because the rubberized surface is useless.

2. shaving performance. Very good, but not a great difference to ProGlide. Yes, the hair from the blades can be slightly better wash due to the greater distances blades. For me, the biggest advantage of the razor is the mobility of the blade, thus can be complicated questions under the armpits for example, achieve easier.

3. skin irritation? - Wrong! The razor shaves very gently, but not better than the ProGlide

4. The razor incl. A sword strikes with about 7 to Beech. The blades with about 4 per blade. This puts them on a par with anything the ProGlide, even though two blades were housed less per shaving.

Conclusion: A quite good razor for the whole body. But offers no glaring advantage over the razors that are already on the market. Especially when it comes to handling compromises have to be made, which leads me to that I would say no buy recommendation. This is, however, criticism on very high level!
