The smell is not my case, I prefer that rather subtle to neutral variants.
The gel pad ensures that the skin is covered with a film, characterized is to be less irritation. However, here is then also the thoroughness of the shave on the track.
Since I use the product for more Nachrasieren and "correcting" the road in hotels, I'm quite happy with it, but as the main shaver, it would likely not for me. The refill blades hit financially pretty and the duration of use of the blades so I would be too expensive.
