When the "3-Klinger" were new to the market, I had to get the feeling that nothing better in your fingers! Now I have set on the razor with 4 or more blades and use the 3-Klinger only in the "reserve" if I have neglected the shave for several days. Because through the narrow setting of the blade at the 4-Klingern, this clog very quickly and it takes an eternity to shave it! Noticeable here is the wider slats strip better pulls the skin and as a result then of course a deeper cut of whiskers causes. The improved Lubrastrip has a pleasant smell and gives me the feeling, the skin is smoother. Conclusion: Not quite as thoroughly as 4-blade, but still top!
