I did some searching and found people loved the Personna Magnum 5. I also found out that they dont make it anymore (or at least that is what i read). Instead your local drug stores, CSV, Walgreens, RiteAid, etc sell the EXACT same razor but it just has the stores name on it.
It is comparable to the Gillette Fusion Proglide, except you can get 5 refills for $6-7. I tried the Gillette and did not care for it, I tried the Schick Hydro 5, liked it, but so expensive.
The shave I got from the RiteAid 5 was simply unbelievable. I had ZERO irritation, a damn smooth shave that was smooth for atleast 10-12 hours. It also cut so close on the first pass I didnt have to go over the same spot more than once or twice at the most! Everyone here needs to try these razors! I know Walgreens has their own version and so does RiteAid. When i went to CVS they were sold out, so maybe more people are in on the secret. If you look for one they are called Razor 5 with trimmer or something very very similar along those lines. They are not the disposable ones, so don't get confused.
I would love to hear if anyone else is using these or if you get them, let me know.

Interesting. I've been using the Fusion and those replacement blades are on the expensive side. May have to check it out.

M5 by Personna was a fantastic tool, but they apparently are available under "store" brands. I've moved on to the Hydro 5 but I have a collection of the M5's that I use once in a while--a great shave, fantastic price. It has a little more sensation of a "pull" when you use it, IMO, but I think that's the blade really pulling the hair up out of the follicle for a closer cut.

You can still order the M5 directly from Personna. Check it out at www.personna.com
It's what I use for shaving my face and I love it.
