I know, it's freaking crazy, the longer I use the damn thing (I use a Gillette Fusion btw, 5 blades, **** yes) the better it cuts. And what's worse, it only gets better when the lotion strip thing gives out :C
A friend I know has one of those 6 bladed razors. I think its six. Hes been using it for months and the thing cuts like a god damn dream. Unless that shaving cream really does do something.
