My only drawback? Less than average blade comes with it. I went very rough with this thing while getting used to it and only got minor razor burn (I was only using hot water in the shower, no cream/gel/foam of any kind, no aftershave, nada). The areas I tested on once I got the hang of it are razor burn free. EASY to pick up, as I had no experience using a safety razor or single blade razor before.Would buy again.
