I ordered this a few weeks ago and wanted to put it through its paces before writing a review. I have been a gillette fusion user for about 6 years, or whenever the fusion first hit the market. The fusion is a great blade, but the cost of cartridge replacement is just ridiculous. After my last attempt to get fusion blades at a reasonable price on ebay (I refuse to pay the store prices), I became convinced all of the replacement cartridges on ebay are stolen, and it didn't sit well with me. So a friend told me about Dorco, and I decided to try them. After using this Dorco for two weeks, I am still on the first blade. It shaves remarkably smooth. It is every bit as smooth as the fusion, if not more so. It is incredibly well built, and the cartridges attach securely to the handle. The handle is a heavy metal, like the fusion. I believe Dorco is a korean company, and the cartridges are made in Korea, while the handle is made in China. Some have complained that the razor strip on the back of the cartridge is too far recessed, but I have not had any issues with it, and it trims around my nose nicely.

I was concerned about my waist measurement for my upcoming PT test. I got lots of advice once I voiced concern. One being use Preparation H...so I did for my practice test. My waist was measured at 35...but all other components were less than I knew I could score! I barely passed the practice test.
