I purchased one last week and I'm not happy with it. The blades are so close together, it doesn't rinse well and I get a lot of cuts- something I didn't with the Mach 3. The extra blade on the back is useless.

What an absolute joke. What are the razor companies going to do when this "add-a-blade" craze peters out? Is there any idiot on the earth who believes that this ridiculous invention shaves any better than a single? And hey, if five blades is good, wouldn't ten blades be twice as good? And twenty twice as good as that?
Note to Gillette: Fire your marketing people.

Gillette today announced that the new Gillette Fusion and Fusion(TM) Power shaving systems for men are now available in stores. The new razors offer breakthrough technologies, including a 5-blade Shaving Surface(TM) on the front of the blade cartridge and a Precision Trimmer(TM) blade on the back.I'm going to trademark every word in the dictionary.

If 5 is better, why not make it 9 or 10 or 24?
My Mach 3 works just fine except it gets dull too fast.

I couldn't agree more with it getting dull to quickly. I found the regular Mach 3 blades (not the Turbo) seem to perform better and are $2-$3 less per box.

I like the Quattro, abut it has the same problem you mention. My whiskers tend to be fairly thick (and I work at home so don't shave every day) and when I let it go, the whiskers get stuck in betweenthe 4 blades and it doesn't rinse well at all.
Still, I like the shave. If I am careful to rinse about 2x more often than past blades I have used, its fine. I suspect 5 blades is overboard!

The price for refills is approaching outrageous! I saw a spoof on these multi-blade razors where one had 24 blades and guaranteed the closest shave EVER!

I guess it's my fault. I tend to send threads to chat.

Truly the biggest razor I have ever seen.

No, when it comes to me it's typically about moderator pettiness. They don't like the fact that I attack libertarians in the conservative forum.

I have to be honest, this is a tailor-made chat thread.
To: AmishDude
Debatable when it comes to this particular article. Every time a razor comapny adds another razor and calls it innovtion, I would say that's news. But what is going on here is more systemic. The other day, the first article about Bush's LAX comments got chatted. So did the first article about Cindy Sheehan's incident at the SOTU.
