I'll be darned if I can find the M5 anywhere.
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.
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".
I sent Personna a short e-mail thanking them for their product and got this reply:"Thank you for your kind words regarding Personna American Safety Razor and our M5 Magnum Razor. We always appreciate feedback from our Customers. It will be our pleasure to send you some complimentary samples of the M5 Magnum cartridges along with a coupon to use toward your next purchase, as a token of our appreciation for taking the time to write, to the address your provided in your email below.If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.Sincerely,Anna Hickman | personna / American Safety Razor"COOL!

I've nicked the side of my head and my finger with the dang thing.
