nah, man, you can barely break a sweat with five blades! Four, that's where it's at! You're thinking gorgonzola when it's brie time, baby!

Nah I use electric (when i'm in a rush) and that irritates your skin more than the blade.
Plus with the Blade you get the closest shave.

I tried the quattro as well and like it over the xtreme 3. It has a nicer weight to it. It shaves better than the xtreme3. I have a sample of the regular mach three, so I will pit it against it soon.

I just bought the extreme 3s a week ago since they were on sale and I could get the razor and a pack of blades cheaper that a pack of blades for the mach 3. I cut myself the first time I used it but its been fine since then. I like the mach 3s better but for half the price the extreme 3s work very well :).

I had Schick and switched to the Mach3, and... it blows! I want my schick back... it glides so much easier. The mach3 seems to get caught alot unless i tug at the razor.

I predict the next generation of mechanical shavers to skip the next logical step of 5 blades and go straight to 6, possibly 100-blade shavers.

Did you see the SNL skit with the Mach5 ?

nope.

roflmao yeah i saw that....it shows a cut away, cutting the hair, then cutting the skin....LOL

man, that review is from one hardcore shaver...


i just shave straight up using no shaving cream or soap....don't have time to dab them on..then i'd use rubbing alcohol to clean my face.....to prevent breaking out...

using the mach3..and i'm pretty content w/ the mach3

Rubbing alcohol you say ?

So how about an update after you have used it for a while?

Is it still as good after multiple shaves?

I thought it was MadTV that had a mach 20 and the dude shaved his cheek off?

Just a PSA while the subject is up...

I had to shave with my girlfriend's leg razor the other day. It was called a "Venus" I don't remember what brand it was though. But I'll tell you this much... It was the best damn razor I've ever used. Too bad it's pink.

I've been using the Mach 3 since it came out, plus the Mach 3 Turbo.

The Quattro is definitely better.

Funny how they align their names to engine references.

They are freakin razor blades.

I don't care about how it works the first time. My Mach 3 turbo was like heaven the first time I used it. After 4 shaves though, it starts to dull. Give us a review after a couple shaves and lets see how well it still does.

My hair grows back so quick that I usually save every 2 days or so. So I'll update each time I shave ;)

I have to shave every morning, and I'm 18 :-(

You know you can get that in blue, right? Not that I'm an expert on leg razors or anything. I just...never mind.

That is the ladies version of Mach3, its from gillette as well.

Thanks for the review though isekii, I was staring at that thing in the mall last night. I might pick it up this week instead of new mach3 blades.

how much did it cost you ?

I have a Mach 3 Razor sitting in my medicine cabinet without any blades :)
