M5 Razor by tomgallagher on 07 Jul, 2011 11:53

Just picked up an M5 over the weekend and am having trouble with it. The razor seems to clog up after the first shave and afterwards gives a terrible shave no matter how much rinsing. Is anybody else having problems with it.? Any advice appreciated.

M5 clogging?
Never, but never, had any such problem. I'm using Headslick, applied with a brush. What are you preparing your dome with?

Nope! I use mine every time I shave my face and have never had an issue with clogging. Are you using a shave "cream"? I find that some creams will clog up a razor.
HeadSlick for me! -

Using Gillette Foamy, just like I always do. Very strange...

You may have gotten an "off" batch of blades Tom. I just picked up a new CVS version of the M5 called 5 Blade. It's basically the same but with different marketing. I gotta tell you, I used it on Tuesday and I couldn't believe how good it was. Extremely great shave and I was smooth all day. It's definitely a keeper, and I will use this over fusion anyday.

I sure wish I could have gotten a better result.

I've been shaving with a Schick Hydro 5 for a couple weeks now. No clogging issues & I shave with cream rinse. The Hydro lubricates better than the Fusion but I'm not convinced the blades are any better.

After reading suggestions here I switched to M5 from Gillete fusion - Have had no problems - as a habit I change cartridges on Sundays - shave daily. No problem clogging. Use a shaving gel. Half the price of the the comparable fusion. $5.88 for package of 4 cartridges and local supermarket.
