A short overview about the new Pace 7 Power from Dorco


Pace7 power






Modern and slim design, dark soft feel rubber for perfect grip, power button with blue LED, trim lines in chrome finish - no comparison to the first Pace Power.
The Pace7 Power has a nice balance, with the almost square profile you directly find the perfect shaving position in your hand

Just see youself.

The new Pace power comes with 1  7-bladed cartridge, the power cartridges comes in a new color, can`t see any other difference. Still with 7 sharp edges, the new honey-hole bar, the battery compartment has to be twisted to be opened or closed, the full rubberized handle feels real grippy and you won`t believe how ergonomic a square handle can be while you havn`t had the new Pace Power in your hands.
Much better than the old Pace Power or the other big twos power razors.

Weight of the razor is 48g fully loaded with one AAA, there is one level of vibration, not to hard or noisy, 

Sad that there is no case or stand included like it has been with the old Pace Power, but the same happened to the Pace7.

So this is only  a short overview and a razing rview will follow later.

Dorco did it again - a battery powered Pace, the Pace Power

Dorco now offers the Dorco Pace 7 as battery powered model





You can find more information on the Pace Power product site

So at the 60th anniversary of Dorco this year they top the line with the "new Pace Power" with the new 7 blades cartridge.

Sorry can`t review that model until now, order is placed, waiting for shipment ;-)
I hope to get the new Pace power within the next 10 days.

While waiting there are some good news, here is a small overview of another Dorco Pace razor


Why "Dorco did it again" and "new Pace Power"
In 2013 while I was searching for a way to get the Pace6+ to germany, I found a campaign picture of the
Pace 6 family with a Pace Power(6) included.
Found nowhere in the whole internet  further information about that razor, asked Dorco in march 2014 for the razor and they told me the razor has only been provided to Korea in small quantities.

2007 Dorco introduced the Pace 6 and the battery of the following razor was good until 02/2012, I found a small press release o.a. from 2010 about the PacePower6.
So the original Pace Pawer should have been sold between 2010 and 2012?

_Update  found a korean blog with some more pictures and review about the "original Pace Power"

And here is the PacePower6

This should be the father of the new Pace Power

Powered by an AAA battery cell the weight is 42g (33g without battery)

Haven`t tried the PacePower6 until now, this unboxing was only for making pictures.







Not the only battery powered model from Dorco, in China or Eastern Europe there is a 3 bladed model the XPEC3 power, 


So while we are waiting for the new Pace Power to show here a last picture.
