Considering its only $10, it is not bad. I am on my second one now and my last one lasted me about a year. I simply did not leave it in the shower, I took it in when I needed it and then dried it off and stored it in my room until the next use. My last one started malfunctioning once I stopped taking it away with me and just left it in the shower all the time. Before I had this model I used another that cost the same but another brand and it did not last nearly as long nor did it have the same quality blades. The razor with 4 blades is always nice too :) I feel like its a bonus :P
