The razor, very similar to the Gillette Mach 3, is slightly larger than it's cousin as it needs room for the AAA battery which power the micro motor which is intended to give a closer, more comfortable shave.

When the button is pressed a soft hum comes from the whole razor, while at first a little scary that you are holding 3 vibrating blades against your precious face, when you start shaving you hardly notice the vibration.

The blades and shave head are also new, with improved blades which are supposed to stay sharper longer, along with a green aloe strip for lubrication.

I have to say that the shave was a very comfortable and close shave. Usually I have to shave after a shower to soften my stubble, but with this razor I just lathered up with my Clubman Shave Cream and immediately shave off 2 days worth of stubble.

The shave was incredibly comfortable, and even the hard to reach and shave areas around my jaw were easily taken care of. Though I usually don't get razor burn, this shave seemed even more comfortable than the Mach Three.

Though I only shaved once, I have to say from my experience the M3 Power was an extermely close, comfortable shave. The humming blades do as advertised and literaly make your face hair stand up on end for a close comfortable shave.
