The blades glide very well even with little shaving cream / gel and produce in me no skin irritation. Particularly noteworthy I find the endurance of the blade and that gel reservoir in holding very long. Also passing through the 5 blades often a one-time "hover" the stroke for a clean shave.
In order to facilitate an accurate contour cutting and shaving hard to reach places, it is possible to fold the upper part. Makes sense when Goaties etc., for a "full-shaving" but unnecessary.
By 5 blades of Klingeneabstand between each blade is very small, so when cleaning after shaving longer hairs ("2-weeks vacation Bart" shave) to clean the gaps already a rinse under a slightly higher water pressure or very strong swing in a water necessary is
Summary:
+ Endurance
+ Good "gliding"
+ Long shelf life
# Foldover
# Price: but this relativized by the long life and the 'shaving convenience "
- Difficult cleaning after shaving longer hairs
Another little tip:
razors with blades voir shaving for about 20s. put in water. Thus, the integrated gel is equal to the first start in full force and the razor glides perfectly.
