GREAT razor and it's made in the GREAT U-S-A....PERSONNA's M5

[warhawk]

hello fellow chrome domes:

1st of all i want 2 thank ryan mcgarry aka "notorious r-mc"... 4 posting up his awesome review of Personna's Magnum 5 razor.  ever since, i discovered his review; i officially retired my trusty gillette fusion.  as most of U know, i am an avid fan of the gillette fusion until i found the magnum5 razor.

all i gotta say is..."wow" that is one helluva smooooooth head shave.  it definitely beats the fusion.    it also beats the fusion in price.  U can get a 4 pack refill for only $5.88 @ walmart in beautiful pensacola.  most importantly my new favorite razor is born and made in the GOOD OLE U-S-A.

i love this razor so much that i e-mailed (last week) the PERSONNA Company to let them know how much i truly love their product.  i also received (today) a complimentary 4-pack magnum5 refill cartridges and a $3 off coupon on the magnum5 cartridges.  now that is what U call...."customer service". 

after receiving the gift, i emailed them a "thank you" message and i also mentioned 2 them about www.slybaldguys.com.  i told them about our special fraternity and that several of us have officially became fans of their product.

if U haven't tried this razor... U don't know what U R missing.  the magnum5 razor is officially my favorite razor.  so... how 'bout U?  have U tried it out?  if so... what's your story?

Welcome to the M5 World Mel! It is the finest razor I've ever used by far!!!!!

M5--never thought I'd give up Fusion, and now w/ clean new Fusion blades in the drawer, I've bought M5 blades--can't go back, too f'ing smooth, and so so long.

Took the plunge today... it's all your fault too warhawk!

I'm all for saving some money Hawkman. If this razor works as good as you say, and I know you were a fusion devotee, I will pick one up tomorrow.
It's good to see someone give Gillette a run for the money.
I'm already of fan of the Personna Auto plus blades, and use them on my Atra and my HeadBlade.
Thanks for the great info Hawk.

I emailed Personna a little "Thank You" for providing such a great razor at a price that everyone can afford.
I actually received a personal response from their marketing department thanking me for giving my opinion on the M5. They also  are sending me a free pack of razors and a $3 off coupon for my next M5 purchase.

A great, affordable product and great customer service. America lives!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like I'm going to have to add Personna to my correspondence list.  I'm concerned it's not getting more shelf space--although I liked Fusion and would go back if M5 somehow doesn't make it,  I totally sold.  It's the first time that I really can say I've debated whether I really need to shave the next day--it's that good.

Picked one up tonight at Walmart (5.88 comes with two replacement blades).
I will let you know how I like it after my next shave.

I've seen a new blade and 16 cartridges at BJ's Club for 17.99

That's way better than Wally World.

I'm happy (very) with my Rolling Razor though so I didn't bite.

It's Warhawk's fault, I have officially retired my Fusion.  Of course he is right.  Great shave.  And the cost doesn't hurt either.
Thanks Warhawk!

Interesting pricing.  Today I had to go buy some travel size supplies, so I also went by the shaving section--what else?
There was the m5 and blades at $5.88, it was Wal-Mart in Jefferson Parish, near my health club.  Last weekend I went to the Wal-Mart in New Orleans near the Warehouse District--where the famous "shoot out" occurred in the aftermath of Katrina.  Price there $6.22!  Go figure.
Caution--I found some boxes of contact solution for soft contacts advertised as "Airline Acceptable" when the contents were above 3 ounces--the limit is 3, and the only "acceptable" bottles were 2 oz.      Also, some balms etc., also exceed the limit.  In one airport last spring, the sign at the luggage check-in said carryon was limited to 3.4 oz, but at the security checking the sign said 3 oz.  I wish everyone would get on the same page.
