Hello all anyone tried this razor? what do you think of it?? I am interested in it but i hear so much both ways about it that im afraid to spend that much and then hate it... thanks in advance...
Thanks for the responseI love it. Shave with it daily. And, for me, provides the best combination of comfort and closeness of all that I have tried.
However, if you are into wet shaving because you like mastering tools and technique, this will not be for you: it is too "easy" as it is much like a cartridge experience with the pivoting head. For me, it is the face feel when I walk out the door that is the goal and this delivers.
I have since upgraded to the R50 and like it even better.
EDIT: When I have time and I feel the need, I do use open blade, SE, and traditional DE razors. I sometimes get better results with these than the R48/50 but rarely. I don't put enough time into them to have a consistent technique whereas I use the R50 pretty much daily.
