Advantages: 5 blades give a silky smooth feeling

Disadvantages: Expensive if you go to usual retail outlets

Renowned as "the number one female shaving brand in the world" i thought I'd give it a go. I had not previously tried using this particular brand and was getting abit tired of using razors that became ineffecient after a few uses. The initial thing I noticed, was the vibrant colour scheme, very eye catching in terms of marketing. The 5 blades ensure that any hair that went astray with one of the blades, has little chance of escape with the other 4. The protective ribbon of moisture around the blades ensures that the blade has a smooth journey around the contours of your skin. The rubber looking grip around the handle is a definate plus, as being soaped up, you can make sure that it doesn't fall out of your hand. I have recently bought some additional blades, as opposed to what I usually did - throw away the razor itself, as this one is for keeps. The only snag about this product, is the price, I bought mine from ebay for £7 including p&p, which is still dear, but for now, it keeps me smooth, so I guess i'll have to pay that bit extra.

Summary: Gives a smooth, silky finish, vibrant colour, firm grip handle
