The negative side first because I do not see that is that it tarnishes slightly between humidity and soap .. so sometimes you have to spend a good blow of cleaning or alcohol to refurbish. The positive sides: So I bought recently .... yes it is very beautiful and we feel that it's good stuff. Use side: I tried the sold blades and they irritate some but I still want to say that I have very sensitive skin. So, I just bought Gillette blades supermarket ... they are really aggressive months and since everything is for the best. Do not forget to buy, for recent users, the alum stone and a good after shave. It still comes back really cheaper than the five blades and it is true that since I use a badger, I have more irritation at the neck or ingrown hairs giving buttons .. short, with good Blades, good cream before shaving (for me PRORASO oats / Tea that is ultra performance), good shaving WITHOUT SUPPORT even if there is more passes, an Alun stone shot and good after shave happen for the better. The same goes for creams or soap you are going to do a good time .. Personally I have to shave every morning and before I used the razor Macmachin Powertruc and costing an arm. Since then, I shave super close, I only do it every other day, leaving me time to rest well .. the skin (the alum stone will make you feel micro cuts ..) I put four stars for now, waiting to get another one and compare. Good shave ...
