I've decided to make a review about this razor.
It's a 3 blade cartridge razor with pivoting head.
Handle; handle is combination of plastic, metal strip which I believe it's zamak since it's a german razor, and rubber for a better grip.
Cartridge; cartridge is smaller than fusion's, it has a lubrication strip but it's not annoying since it's mostly an indicator when to change blades and helps with touch up if needed.
Angle of the blades seems much narrower than to gillette's or wilkinson's
About the shave; Shave is close and blades are very smooth and aggressive, good balance between smoothness and aggressiveness. Usual result is DFS.
About the price; price is cheap in terms of cartridge razors. Price is 40 HRK for a handle and 3 cartridges and a refill pack of 10 cartridges costs around 39 HRK; 5.58$; 5.25€
Longevity of a cartridge; Initially I was thinking I could at least get 10 shaves out of it but I could only get 6-7, which I think is not as good as I expected but shaves is very close so I can easily shave 3 times a week.
Good thing is that blades hold the same sharpness 90% of time and then on a last shave you can feel that you need to change cartridge.
What I like about this razor is closeness of the shave and price of the cartridges so number of shaves is understandable.
What I do not like about it is that handle feels cheap compared to other modern razors and that handle won't last as long and this is the problem since Feintechnik removed razor from their official site but still selling it in supermarkets.
There is an issue with this razor, if I use shaving brush w/ cream or soap it outperforms mach 3 but if I use canned foam it skips and misses places and clogs up easily so I have to rinse it often.
EDIT: one thing I've forgot to mention, I have said shave is closer than fusion or mach 3 which is true after fusion and mach 3 pass their initial sharpness, but both fusion and mach 3 are as good as this razor but last longer.
Like every product it has good and bad sides. If my fusion and feintechnik razors both disappeared in the same time I'd buy this because initial investment is cheaper and I tend to use DE so I do not need as many shaves out of one cartridge.
