NDA just got lifted finally after so many years. All my work in the little pilot labs have finally turned into real product.

interestingly enough, I think the m3power offers a better shave on the upper lip while the 5-bladed system is better on the jaw line and chin.

No shaving system gets the sideburns correctly imho.

there are actually 6 blades. there is a 'single blade built into the back to help easily trim sideburn and shave under nose and shape facial hair'.

Or if you want to shave a beard from a diffrent country then the one you bought the razor in.

Why do people think that more blades means a better shave? One blade is all that is needed to cut hair, the method you use is way more important then the blade you use.

- The Gillette Fusion Power handle features an on-board microchip that optimizes the razor?s performance. :Q

It's a bloody HANDLE for gods sake...

THat's cool, can't wait! I'll probably get the non-power version... if that is the only difference.

lol

Waxing is better, otherwise, ask a girl. I would wager the mach3 turbo would be good enough for 99% of females.

Eventually they're going to invent a "continuous blade" that is the equivilent of 100 blades sandwiched together so tight, that it almost feels flat. It will be impossible to cut yourself shaving; it only scrapes off facial hair.

Thank you.
I was afraid they wouldn't do this when I read the thread title. It would be like shaving with a cheese grater.
