Mach3 Cartridges

[Reckoner]

How long do you guys use 'em before you toss them out?

 

[zimu]

i shave like every 3-4 days, use it for like 2-3 months. i'm lazy about changing them, by the time i'm done with them my pen knife is sharper. makes a hell of a bloody shave

 

[miketheidiot]

about once a month, probably more.

 

[drsafety]

I go a few months before changing... i wait until it is slightly uncomfortable to shave

 

[TBone48]

I shave about 2x a week, they last about 1 month before I toss them.

 

[jspeicher]

you guys are nuts. one cartridge is worth about three shaves for me, so one week.

Yeah that's about as long as they last for me. Sucks too since they're so damn expensive.

Not if you have the Mach3 power n00b

I shave daily, and will end up using the things for generally a few months before changing. I really don't notice a huge difference when they're dull as opposed to brand new; either way, it takes me at least two passes (one with the grain and one against) to get good results.

 

[vshah]

shave every day or every two days, replace blades once a week usually

 

[ktehmok]

About every three weeks. But my kids lost it and I convinced myself to buy a Quattro because it had a free fog-free mirror for the shower. It's not as good as the M3. It grabs like crazy, the M3 just glides.

1) IT's green for Mach 3 Turbo
2) It's orange for M3 Power

Who's the n00b now..

I shave once or twice a week depending on how I feel and I change them every 2 months..

I change when its getting a li ttle hard to shave and I need several more strokes for a clean shave.

About a week, or whenever I notice that it's not a very smooth shave.

Thankfully, a real man in this thread. I was reading all the "One cartridge lasts me 3 months" replies and was thinking the poster was going to talk about his underoos next.

Same here, I just grew a goatee in 3 days :shocked:

 

[RU482]

I change mine about once ever 1-2 months
I shave almost every day
They get hella dull by the end. The quality of the shave goes down with time, but I don't really care as I am married. (by the time I see her in the afternoon, I've already got 5oclock shadow, new or old blade)

One thing I have started doing to has totally eliminated my razor burn...

splash a little rubbing alcohol on my face and neck after shaving. Used to burn like hell, but I hardly norice it anymore (kinda like when you first use Listerine, then later)
really used to wake me up

 

[iwantanewcomputer]

~30-40 shaves. 3x a week for 3 months

a real man? a real man has to shave every day, and isn't a p*ssy that he needs to change the catridge every week.
