Schick Xtreme 3 better than a Gillette Mach3?

Designed for both men and women, Xtreme 3 gives all the closeness and smoothness of a triple-blade shave, with no blade changes...ever.
I don't get it. How does that work?

it's a disposable.

so you do change blades you just change the handle with it.

Normally I would say I like the Mach 3 the best.

I never would think to try a different razor, and certainly would not buy a different brand at the store on a whim.

In fact, I almost just threw away the razor that came in the mail, but I was out of Mach 3 blades.

I am sure all mach 3 users are the same.
And, I doubt all of you recieved one free in the mail, but maybe Schick recently sent free ones to every guy in the world. I'm not totaly sure.

No Mach3 owner would try a different brand, so the only folks who would know if a Schick Xtreme3 was better would be the random few mach 3 owners who recieved a Schick in the mail and tried it.

I tried the Schick extreme 3 , I prefer the Mach3 much better.
It glides through hair and skin like no other.

Or they were the people trying to find a new razor and couldn't find one they didn't like or they had a Schick first and then went Mach 3.

I use the Schick Xtreme 3 because they sent me one for free. Then, Rite Aid had one free after rebate (non-disposable). Then, they had 4 disposable ones (whose blade is the same as refill blades) for free. So, I got a shaver and about 7 blades for free. I'm happy.

I've never tried the Mach 3, but I couldn't imagine that it could be too much better.

What about this new one I saw on TV, Sensor3??? How does Sensor3 compare to Mach3 and the Schick one? I think the main difference is price...you can get an 8-pack of Sensor3 with handle for $9.99!

See. I am not crazy. This thing is a really amazing razor.
Who said you were crazy? ;)

When I first tried the Schick and thought it was better, I thought I was crazy.
So, I tried it again the next day.
I ahev even bought the replacement blades.
I have used it for a couple of weeks, and I am still in disbelief that I found something better than a Mach 3.
