I was so fed up with all the multi-blade nonsense. It's like the equivalent of using a butter knife to shave my legs. Though you have to be very careful with these ultra-sharp blades, if you use a light hand and take your time, you couldn't achieve a closer shave. I am so happy with this razor. If I could wish for one thing, it would be a little stand to store it upright. I would love to have a secure way to set it down while using it in the shower or bathtub to protect the blades, prevent cutting myself, and to protect my bathtub and shower floor-as it's heavy enough to do some damage if it falls. Not a suction cup holder- just a sturdy stand.
