The Dorco Pace Pro Series

While the Pace 5 is sold as Pace 5 pro in the U.S. there are new handle and blades coming to Europe.

2nd Update

The Dorco Pace 6 pro and the Dorco Pace 4 pro (with its own handle) are also available at the U.S. via amazon now. The Dorco Pace Power is not longer listed at the Dorco U.S. site

Update:

I did a shave with the new Dorco Pace 6 Pro comparing with a Doroc Pace 6+ head.
Both shaves were fine, with a little advantage for the new Pro blades.
I like the new trimmer, you can`t cut yourself like it happened easily with the old 6+.

First what is the difference between the old Pace and the new Pace pro?
Dorco optimized the blades and the space between them, slimmer cartridge design, new rounded lubrication strip, new soap/foam handling, trimmer blade with comb and guard and an upgraded connecting system, still compatible with every Dorco Pace blade from the Dorco Pace 3 upwards.
So now you can get a razor with 4, 5 or 6 blades with trimmer from Dorco with the new Dorco Pro series

You can find  most of the information at the updated Dorco Global Website
at the last 2 pages of the Company Profile Brochure

Don`t want to put screenshots here without  permission from Dorco.

The catalog is not top actual (downl.19th Aug 2019 without the new Pro series and the updated Pace7 II fresh), the DorcoPace Page will be a better source for the newest pictures and razors

There will be the new Pace 6 pro (aka Pace6 style in Korea) with new formed handle with nice structure at the upper side of the handle, sandwave structure for better grip at the downside and all the other new features. In addition to the 4- or 5-blade cartridge there is a second gliding/lubrication strip before the blades.

There are Pace 4 pro blades (with trimmer) via amazon.co.uk available with the new Pace 6 pro handle.
didn`t find the new Pace 4 style handle, but if I compare the pictures at the DorcoPace Page it looks like a cheaper and more light version. of the Pace 6 Pro handle Like the 2 different handles of the shave-it Pro and the shave-it value aka Pace 5 pro and the  TRA4000 aka shave-it value

I`m sure the handle and blades are coming to several European supermarkets later this or next year.
I know the Pace 5 pro was available at the spanish Aldi according to an entry at this great spanish razor forum

The new handle has a weight of 42g (P5 35g, P6+/XL 47g) without the blades, the top of the handle has  structure in a dark brown color (not like black carbon like most pictures show), downside sandwave structured rubber for better grip.

Here are some quick photos
