I only have to shave every other day right now (thank god for youth) and don?t on the weekends, so I usually go through a new razor every other two weeks simply because nothing beats the new-razor shave feeling. Wal-Mart is definitely the cheapest. Just think about it like this, new razor every two weeks is 26 razors a year, so 4 of the 8 packs is just over $50. Costco sells 16 packs for around $26 so either way.

Who has used the new motorized one? Does it really work, because it?s always seemed like a gimmick to me? I thought the Turbo was just a gimmick though till I actually used it.

Wow. I thought it was just a gimmick.
There was a humorous review of this "shaving system" in the IEEE Spectrum last month. I tried to post it, but you need to be an IEEE member to read it.

The guy who wrote the review is a wookie-man, and he likes the Mach3 system. Gillette sent someone over with a Mach3 Power before it was relaeased, and he tried it out.

It cut the crap out of his neck/throat. perhaps needless to say, he hated it.
