Yes and yes a mans razor
going from all the different Machs in existence to this blade was the best move ever. Flawless design and perfect shave time after time. And even better that the blades are cheaper than main brand kids razors

The search for the optimum shave is completed
This product is superb and puts all "multi-blade" razors to shame. The first shave really was like a bloodbath (setting 6) but after you get the hang of the weight of the razor and sharpness of the blades (which takes 3-5 days) you really will never go back to a Gillette Fusion and alike. Not for those who want a quick splash and dash but for those looking for the real optimum shaving experience. A close shave like never before. Word of warning though - start on setting 1 and move upwards after you have mastered it!

Need I leave a review??
I think the number of responses here speak volumes. As with many others, I hesitated for weeks before finally taking the plunge. With dry/sensitive skin, I feared my face was in for a gore fest. Now I'm left frustrated that I don't need to shave more frequently. It has become a totally pleasurable experience and the closest shave ever. Biotherm Homme face scrub, Truefitt & Hill pre-shave oil, Trumpers rose cream and Nickel contre-feu - and everyone's happy!

Make the change you wont be disappointed
I bought this just over a week ago with some trampers rose soap and a decent badger brush.....take a bit of practice and follow the YouTube demos and u have it cracked. Best shave I have ever add...its worth putting in the extra effort for the results. Well worth the money and in the long term huge cost saving...the blades are peanuts compared to mach etc...

Different technique than Mach III but worth while after learning curve
At first after switchin from a Mach III to this razor I did cut myself. I realize that there was a learning curve. Then I had an Epiphany: I started shaving the moustache with the grain, the chin horizontally from side to side, and the cheeks toward the grain. On the second pass, All of the above against the grain Prior to shaving I use: "Shaving Secret " Oil, very inexpensive at Wal Mart store lasts six months at least, then apply the shaving cream lather. The shave is much closer than the Mach III that way and I am not cutting myself (Except when I start to hurry). Think about shaving like you play golf, If your rhythm is out of sink then you hit a clunker but if you hit a sweet spot then it is amazing. Baby Skin Shave David

Great Razor..!
Many people will find this razor fairly heavy therefore its takes some getting used too. Blades are cheap and provides a close shave. I found that with multiple bladed razors they become easily clogged - this is simple and cleans easily without any fuss. I've been using this for two weeks and am happy with the performance.

not for everyone
I have no doubt that this razor isn't to everyone's taste as it can slice you up pretty well in double quick time if you don't give it some respect! That said, give your face a chance and use after having a hot face wash to open the pores. The keep the blade very hot while shaving and only shave down with the grain, not up to minimise irritation and severe bleeding. splash with freezing cold water once you're done, and use a lotion or balm (Charles Tyrwhitt do a great cedar and lemon one) to smooth over the cracks. learn to appreciate the best shave ever

Shaving with fine art.
After a week of using this beautifully crafted tool I'm a convert. Shaves very close and does not gunge up like normal razors after two drags. Oh, and the blades are super cheap and environmentally friendly ... well they don't have plastic in them.
