The most enjoyable machine among the other 5 that I have. In combination with the blades of the corresponding company that fit perfectly, I have achieved the best shaves so far. You don't even realize that you are shaving. Even when you cut yourself, you don't realize it, you just see the blood flowing and that's when you realize it. But because it is a gentle machine, it needs a very sharp blade to be effective. In general, very sharp blades fit well. That's why I recommend using it with feather or bic astor blades, or perma sharp or Gillette silver blue blades, or other similarly sharp ones. It's not a problem even with non-sharp blades, you just need more passes and more time to achieve the desired result.
