The five blade razor and the three blade razor?

is there really a difference? is the 5 lade better than the 3 blade?



I never thought I would go for something as ridiculous as a 5 blade razor, then my gf bought me one, so I started using it.





I like it a lot. In fact, after using it for a couple years, I decided to go back to my old razor (because replacement blades are more expensive) and the experience was terrible. I had to relearn how to shave carefully, so as not to cut myself.





I asked for blades for xmas, and and am using my 5 blade again. I guess I'm hooked.





I think it's better.




The 5 blade gives a closer shave, but you are more likely to cut yourself.
