5 blades is better than 3?

[Tempered81]

I still like the old style 3 blade better. the 5 blade gets too clogged and isn't as effective.

Agreed. I went back to using the Mach3 after using the Fusion for a couple of months. The Fusion's blades don't last that long, either, (at least for me) before becoming dull.

5 is just too much.
This competition between shaving razor makers is getting ludicrous.
I was perfectly happy with my old Mach 3. Somebody gave me one of the new 5 blade Fusion jobbies for Christmas. It includes an extra single blade on the back of the razor head for getting sideburns and that area just below your nostrils and other hard to get at places like that. That's actually 6 blades on one head. And if that's not enough the stupid thing vibrates. . .yes VIBRATES! You can put a AAA battery in it and it has a little button you can press that makes it vibrate while you shave. And the blades keep getting more expensive. I guess if you go broke trying to afford new blades for the stupid thing, it can always double as an adult toy for your girlfriend.

Shaves better for me. (Fusion over Mach 3) I had a Quattro I used for a long time, only kept using it because I got about 12 of them free, so I had a razor + free extra cartridge for each one. Always preferred the Gilette over it though.

 

[pontifex]

i use the fusion and i get maybe 1-2, or 3 uses if i'm lucky, before it goes dull.

 

[Anubis]

i use a Panasonic Linear Wet/dry Electric

 

[Ika]

I've been using a Quattro for maybe half a year now... same blade... is something wrong with me?

Well obviously. I thought that went without saying.
Are you speaking from experience?

 

[freegeeks]

I still use a classic gilette sensor. I don't get this hole thing about twenty-eleven-blades

i do tend to wait until it starts to itch before i shave, so that may have osemthing to do with it.

 

[Molondo]

I use the haircut buzzer machine. I'm too lazy to shave all the way. But yea, five blades i found was to ineffective.

I shave once a week, Thursday. Because Thursday is ladies night at The Bishop. I'm using a Quattro right now. It gets about 5 or 6 uses before I have to switch out, just because I punish it on Thursday. It counts the days waiting for Bishop night and tries hard to hide, but then realizes its just a razor and its already in a drawer so it really can't hide any better.

 

[Saint Michael]

3 or 5, never 4. May Schick burn in hell.

 

[mcvickj]

I received a free Quattro in the mail last year. Tried it once and threw it in the draw. Just didn't like the performance. My trusty Mach 3 has been morning sidekick for some time and I don't plan on changing that any time soon.

I was envisioning a new warning label as per the lines of "Caution: Coffee Hot!"

3 Blades is plenty.

 

[Eeezee]

Do you know why we use 3 blades? Gilette (the company, not the person) actually conducted research into razor effectiveness as a function of blade number. Three is optimum. More is unnecessary.

I've tried 4 and 5, and the shave wasn't any better than with just three. I love my three-blade razor.

 

[cirrhosis]

My Mach20 razor works very well - used it once and haven't had to use it again.

 

[Uppsala9496]

I like the fusion (non-powered one). I shave everyday and get about a month of use per blade.

 

[dougp]

1 blade - www.classicshaving.com

I get such a better shave, with a lot less irritation!

 

[jiggahertz]

1 blade for me too.

 

[aceO07]

Mach3. I'd have a few sample Quattros and they're just not as sharp. I can feel it struggle to cut as it pulls on the hairs.
