Thanks parksie; finally got that part--and I thought I was only impaired when it came to IT
Well, having learned to do the flip deal, and three days into my trial, there are pluses and minuses for me at least. I rather like the handle better than M5 or Fusion [All my Fusion razors had their rubber pads come loose]. I think the trimmer works better around the ears than either Fusion or M5, and certainly less prone to nick the ear itself.
My main problem is that the shaves are as close as the Fusion, in terms of lasting smoothness, but not as long lasting by several hours than the M5. It certainly has the least perceptible drag of any blade I've used, bar none. I'm also finding that the problem area I have on the back of my head, a cowlick or something, doesn't get cut as close by far. This may confirm my initial impression from using the M5 that the so called higher drag factor was in fact the sensation of the razor lifting the hairs further out of the follicle and cutting them off deeper.
I'm going to use this for another couple of weeks to determine if it is just a matter of adjusting the technique or not. If I can't get as smooth, I'm going home the the M5. That's my opinion at 3 days.
