Where are the negative reviews?

Ok, you guys are gonna laugh at this but this morning, I prepped my head as usual then took one swipe with the omnishaver which felt horrible so I broke out a dull razor that I had in the back of my cabinet and got a pretty decent shave out of it.  The shave was nothing to write home about but was a lot better than the omnishaver so I could've saved a few buck by just shaving with a dull razor instead of going out and buying the omnishaver.  Well, off to the trash bin it goes! ^-^

clint902:
Ok, there are a few negative reviews of the omnishaver but I'd also like to hear any positive reviews and any advice you can give the rest of us that arn't having any luck with this shaver.  Another words, what are we doing wrong?

clint902:
Well I guess that's that.  I fail to understand why a single blade de gives such a good shave while the 10 bladed omnishaver gives such a terrible shave.  I expected to get a decent shave from the omnishaver but never expected to get such a terrible shave that I had to go over my scalp with my de.  I don't know what else to say here except I am dissapointed and am done wasting money on these gimmicks.

Thanks for the info @clint902 . I think we all go through the equipment experiments, always looking for something better.

I read many years ago, that less blades mean less irritation. I stick with the Shick Extreme 3. The only problem is I always seem to stretch it 1 or 2 shaves too long, then get some irritation.

clint902:
I know what you mean!  I stretch out my razors too!  The only way I can tell it it's dull is when I try to shave my face with it and it's just painful.  I'll probably continue experimenting with different gels or butters but I get the best shave from my 1918  I got on .  Strange how shavers have gone backwards to a degree.  Oh, forgot to mention that the newer razors have more blades in them but in my experience, a single blade works just fine.  I can't figure it out.  I'm using the shick extreme three basically for the handle because I have trouble holding the smaller ones but my best shaves came from a single bladed cartridge or the de.
