Anyone use a Mach 3 razor?

Unlike Bose speakers and Monster cables, Mach 3 razors are well worth the money and worlds better than cheap Bics.

I don't know about you, but my facial hairs are damn thick and without a Mach 3, anything else will just cut the crap outta my face as I go against the grain.

Doesn't BIC make pens?

Not every razor is built equal. This isn't a consumer conspiracy.

Best I see around here is close to $2 a pop. On an average day, you can get turbos for about $1 each on Ebay. If you stick around enough, you cn grab some from a seller who didn't check beforehand, or just has alot to sell, with a BIN for under that price.

wow. it may be worth smuggling these from canada.

Similiar prices but I buy from CostCo B&M USA.

ive been to costco and its like $18-19 US. $16 canadian is like ~11-12 US dollars right?

Your fuzzy math logic will not work on me (yes you are correct)

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

Too much, I switched to an electric razor.

Yeah, you just keep telling yourself that. My son got a free Mach 3 sample in the mail. Sort of like getting a free AOL CD! I tried it. BFD! I sure as hell ain't payin' for that over hyped crap!

I will say that it does take about a week for my face to get conditioned to different disposables. But, at the end of that week, the results are just great as long as it's sharp. Hell, I don't even buy shaving cream, which is another scam, IMO. Soap and/or hot water are just fine. Try that for a week or two, and see how it works out. Who knows, you may be able to get Gillette off your payroll!

Ornery,

FYI
1. shaving with a Mach 3 does not require shaving cream either.
2. Mach 3's stay sharp for well over a month.
3. the handle provides excellent weight and grip compared to a white thin plastic stick
4. requires less space since a year's supply barely takes up space and doesn't come with a plastic bag

Not to mention single blade razors can cut the crap out of you!

Well, monster cables came really cheap with the modulator for my mom's DVD player, and I got the Mach3 as a trial thing. I then got an extra one and blades from my aunt and uncle who didn't realize I had the same thing. I have yet to pay for new blades though within the next month or so I may have to.

Jusr boutght 8 today for 14+ at Meijer. Next time I'll ebay.
BTW - get a solid two months out of a blade and I have a beard like wire.

wow.....that's a good deal......I'm going to have to look into that.

Ebay's definitely the way to go...
Just price them at your local store first to make sure you're getting good deal after shipping.

I've been known to go a month with a disposable, though it will be dragging the last week. But, why bother when they're cheap as dirt!

I notice they've been marketing toothbrushes and their "wild, wicked" handles to folks like you. Good thing they don't ask comparably ludicrous prices for the damn things!

What is this business with "space" around here? "I've GOT to have an LCD, because there's no space in my room!" "I've GOT to have an iShuffle, 'cause there's no space in my pocket!" "I've GOT to buy mega expensive replacement blades, 'cause there's no space under my sink!" :roll:

I remember getting a 20 pack from costco at some point, it had the normal 4 per cartridge, plus a sample. 4x5 = 20. I got it for like $17.

Blades are expensive, but I even though they're not as convenient as an electric, I think they do a much better job.

It's not really that expensive if you consider that a pack like that will last you for over a year. It may actually be more expensive to use an electric if you consider the cost of electricity and new screens and such, plus the initial cost for a good electric.

My 2¢

It could have been 20....... I can't remember.

Electric is good but it just does not get as close as a blade.
