I used to use the tracer fx... until I couldn't buy blades for anymore. Now I moved to the mach 3 and I still prefered the tracer FX over it. With 3 blades it's too frikking big to get some spots well enough. My face isn't a bloody piece of carpet on the ground. Oh course, it looks like a bloody piece of carpet sometimes when I get done using a mach3.... I hate to see what the hell this 5 blade PoS does to my face.

Nothing better then a well maintained straight razor though. Except the maintaining part. Which is why I liked the tracer fx. I seriously hope no one buys this crap. Fricking $14 for a 4 pack!!!
 
Yeah, but can you run 2 of them in SLI? Because I want a a future-proof solution so I wont feel bad when they have 6 blade razors...
 
I really think it?s the beginning of the end of Human Civilization, when microchips are put into DISPOSABALE blades.

Jesus, this is like Intel milking the Pentium brand name for 12 years plus now. They just don't have any new ideas that are truly new and different.

Way to go Gillette

I still use the Schick Tracer FX. I still find blades for it at the store.

This new Gillette Fusion thing is just absurd. It's "innovation" for innovation's sake, and I use the term loosely.

The only thing I like about the new razor is the fact that it has a reverse blade.

So this thing's got 5 forward blades and a reverse blade. How long before we see a close-ratio 6 speed razor?
 
hehehe sometimes, this is why i love capitalism and competition lol. it makes for amusing products



EDIT: the quattro was heavy and not manueverable. will this be heavier/just as heavy and bulky?
 
I would be perfectly happy with a regular old double edge safety razor. The cost of blades for these new razors is ridiculous.
 
I bet this one has DRM built in, and you can't use:

1. non-duracell batteries
2. razorz purchased in a different region

And I thought my M3 power nitro was fangled.
 
I tried the Quattro and it felt too big and bulky, im sticking w/ my Mach 3

The chip is in the handle. The blades are disposable.

Meh..I actually read the thread, I guess.. 😛
