Dont be a damn sally. I shave 5-6 times a week, and use a mach3 for about 2 months. So what if it doesnt do the job 100%. I'm no fashion model or manhugger.
 
I didn't like my old Mach 3, but the Quattro I just bought sucks worse. It's like the blades aren't sharp enough.

I really like a Wilkinson Sword (dual blade) I had before the Mach 3, but I couldn't find blades locally. Time to look harder.

As for longetivity of the Mach 3... 1-2 months shaving 2-3 times a week. I just don't care to shave anymore often.
 
About every 2 weeks - then I buy more in bulk (about 32 at a time) on Ebay for like 1/4 of the price of in store.

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

I tossed the entire Mach 3 razor, handle & cartridge in the garbage after one use; it's not as "precise" as the "sensor Excel" IMO. 🙂

the strip is blue nooblet

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.

did the OP say anything about either of those products? no. he clearly said "mach 3".

They are all Mach 3's....just different versions

He thought I was crazy for saying orange, and it was right.

You must be rich if your using a cartridge a week for 3 shaves.

I usually shave about 4 times a week. I'll can usually go 1.5 months before it starts to grab the hairs and feel uncomfortable.

I thought you were some sort of international model? 😕

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.

Yeah, Quattro sucks. I got my $8 refund from the company when I sent it back to them.
