Personna M5 Magnum System Handle with Tray and 2 Refill Cartridges, Orange

I've read some reviews about nicks and razor burn... Don't know how you're shaving, but this is a fantastic razor.No cuts, no burn, nothing, just smooooooth.Don't get me wrong, I'm switching to DE Safety, but this is my backup.I'm rubbing my face because it's so smooth still..Anyway, this is a great razor. The case is nicer, in my opinion, and the blade quality is great. I go full wet shave minus the razor itself, so maybe that's why I had such an enjoyable experience. I would consider getting a brush and going through all the motions if you're planning on shaving at all. Don't know if the canned crap they sell as shaving cream is what made it bad.Also, the blades are made in the states, so you're supporting Americans, and on top of that, replacements cost.... *drum roll* 50 cents a cartridge? THAT'S A STEAL. 10 blades of anothe razor would easily cost 20$, and that's if you're lucky. Seriously, great great great deal, and the marginal cost per shave is much lower than with another "branded" product.

I have shaved for years and had been paying out the nose to both Schick and Gillette for years until I discovered the M5 about three years ago at Costco. The price differential is huge and I honestly say that I've the performance of both the razor and the blades to be really no different than any other brand. I like the fact they're made in the U.S. and are offered at a much more reasonable price and they do a good job.

It's just what I ordered and it arrived when amazon said it would. I liked the service I received fast and on time.

Long lasting and works well.

Honestly, these are the worst razor blades I’ve ever tried to use. They become dull after about 2 shaves and leave your skin feeling stubbley.

I have been using Personna M5 cartridges for many years now and will never return to Gillette again.The cost difference in stark and the Personna blades are every bit as good. It’s a no brainer.

As a man whose super power is growing massive amounts of hair both in normal and not so normal places, and someone who shaves his head I cannot recommend this razor enough.I've been using the product for over 5 years.My beard is like sandpaper, yet this blade cuts through it like it is nothing and leaves a smooth comfortable skin behind.One blade a week gets me through shaving my head, my face, those other places (and there are many), and my neck twice a week (both front and back). Sometimes my wife uses the blade as well, and even during those weeks I don't notice a difference. I couldn't imagine how long a single blade would last a normal man.You cannot beat the quality for dollar.Use with a steamy shower, Barbasol shaving cream, and a shower mirror for best results.

Bought this about 2 weeks ago & on my 2nd blade. Overall I have grown used to its quirks, but here goes:Cons: It defintely pulls a bit, even when shaving every day. It pulls a bit MORE (maybe more than a bit sometimes) when I do not shave for a few days. Overall, it is more 'scrapey' than my Gillette Mach 3. Seems to need a clean 'swipe' (a properly placed stroke) to be most effective, which took me a day or two to get used too. Case is kind of huge - I'd ditch it if I was to travel, but it is fine for home.Pros: Once I got the gist of how to shave the tougher areas around my chin, & since I shave almost every day, I kind of fell for this much cheaper razer. Being kind of cheap at heart, I ALWAYS rode my Mach3 to the bitter end due to the cost of the blade replacement. I've read Gillette folks plead with their razer users to switch blades once a week at a minimum for the best shave. What I am driving at is that for me I always wind up with a terrible shave with the Mach3 due to blade cost at the end, & even though I think it is a slightly inferior shave than I am used to, once I manned up to a bit more pulling I was really happy with the overall shave. Plus, here's the kicker: since the blades are much cheaper, I will switch them once a week & therefore receive a more consistent shave overall with this product than the Mach3.Hope this helps - I'll update this review if anything changes over the next few months esp. if I fall into old habits & try to shave with the blade too long - maybe if you all live near me you'll HEAR the blade rasp across my steel wool in the AM, LOL.
