I purchased one last week and I'm not happy with it. The blades are so close together, it doesn't rinse well and I get a lot of cuts- something I didn't with the Mach 3. The extra blade on the back is useless.

What an absolute joke. What are the razor companies going to do when this "add-a-blade" craze peters out? Is there any idiot on the earth who believes that this ridiculous invention shaves any better than a single? And hey, if five blades is good, wouldn't ten blades be twice as good? And twenty twice as good as that?

Note to Gillette: Fire your marketing people.

The price for refills is approaching outrageous! I saw a spoof on these multi-blade razors where one had 24 blades and guaranteed the closest shave EVER!

Does the marketing department get their ideas from jokes? 5 blades? I wasn't sure if this was a gag commercial or not. The Mach 3 is bad enough (I hope they aren't phasing it out).

Enough already. Let's introduce the 100-blade razor and get it over with.

I use Schick myself - and refuse to try the 4 blade model. 3 is plenty for my tough beard.
I prefer Wilkinson-Sword as the best blades ever. But they are hard t find here.

Does anyone still use injector shavers? I liked them; but its all click-on/click-off blades now.
