Default Tried the Gillette M3power shaver,

When you turn it on, it vibrates real good. But when you put it to your face, the vibration gets muffled as you drag it through the shaving cream, and it doesn't seem to help much at all. Using lighter pressure just takes longer than a regular Mach3.

Anybody else notice this? Seems to be just a gimmick.

i dont see how magnetic pulses can lift the hair on your face if they are not 1)metal 2) inductively charged 3) ionized ??? how the hell does a magnetic field act on hair? i think you would need one hell of a magnetic field to act on charged protein particles!!!

It doesn't expose your beard to a huge magnetic field! heh heh...It merely vibrates, using one of those little off-set weights on the end of a tiny DC motor. Its the same setup in pagers and cell phones, when they are set to "vibrate".

in the commerciall they claimed "mangetic pulses raise the hair" so they are cut easier. Plus they showed the rotating device which looked EXTREMELY similiar to the rotating devices to rotate the magnet on Hot plates with magnetic stirring capabilities.
