Frankly even Wal-Mart doesn't give it much shelf space--I bought blades this morning and there were at least 15 rows of Fusion razors & blades, and one for M5--you know they make more on the Fusion.  Look at the end, the far end of the displays.

I stopped at Wally World yesterday and they had THREE rows each of the razors and the blades.... The razors were sold out.

Better buy your blades boys.... word is getting out.

The only issue I've had with the M5 Magnum is catching the "trimmer" blade on a my head as I move the razor back for another shaving stroke. It nicked me twice when I did that during one particularly clumsy shave - I think I was still half asleep in the shower at 4:00 am.

Otherwise, I've had no cuts or nicks.

They could leave the 6th blade off the cartridge as far as I'm concerned since, as a sly guy, I have no edges to "trim".

Well, was at Wally World today and looked at the M5... I wasn't too sure until I looked at the refill package.  It said $4.97 for 4 blades.  Then I looked at the Fusion refills, $14.97 for 4 blades.  Now I'm not the sharpest blade in the razor but that's a $10.00 difference?  Needless to say, I am now a proud M5 user!
My razor even came with a $3.00 off coupon for the $4.97 refills!  YEAH BABY!  :*))

+1 to axe the "trim" blade. I've nicked the side of my head and my finger with the dang thing.

Well I also got the blades and coupons, but I also managed to nick my ear ;D ;D ;D.  Quite a feat for one day.

Nicked myself in the back of the head for the 2nd time in 10 days with the M5. . Don't know what I am doing wrong.

The trim blade is not as good as the Fusion, IMO.
