It's an unusual razor, to me it kind of bridges the SE\cartridge\disposable divide. It is like a SE, except for the pivoting head and it is packaged like a disposable in multiple packs with both handles and attached cartridges. I'm not sure how much durability there is with this very light handle, I'm experimenting to see how many shaves I can get out of it. From a recycling perspective, I'd prefer the traditional cartridge razor model, though I can't see how it can withstand much wear and tear.
