This razor has three blades (it's basically the female equivalent of the Gillette's Men's razor called "Mach 3"). I've used many different kinds of razors, but i liked this one a lot! I was really happy that they came out with a verison of this for women. The men's one and the women's one have a similar design, but the womens is more rounded, and is cushioned for when shaving under the curve of your legs or on knees. It worked really well, and I'd definitely recommend it to people who want a really close shave for really smooth legs. It works best with shaving cream.
