The Shavelogic S5 Razor Has A Magnetic Personality
The Shavelogic S5 razor is an interesting newcomer to the over-crowded (IMHO) cartridge razor space.
It has some distinctive design features, including magnetic cartridge attachment, impressively small cartridge size (compared to others), resistance to lather clogging, and a mild, consumer-friendly shave.
