I do not know if it's really useful to bring a razor everywhere with you, but that is not the debate. I must admit that I love the compact size of this razor. The grip is nice, it does not take place in a toilet bag and a pretty blue box is supplied with. For me, this box is a big plus because I do not know where to put my razor when I'm traveling and it bothers me slip it into my bag without protection. I am conquered by the format, after, there is nothing less than a traditional razor.
