Although jaie offered an electric razor art my father always prefer manual razors. So I asked him to test it and he was very satisfied. First an easy grip thanks to its non-slip handle. Then it has a very efficient rotary head to perfectly fit the contour of the face. The 5 available this razor blades are of high quality and thus enable a close shave. It has a lubricating strip that whitening informs you that your razor has lost its effectiveness. This shaver operates without batteries. The only snag is the price of shaving blades which remains quite big.
