I actually didn't like the Mach 3 for some reason. My wife bought me a Schick Quattro, though, and I love it.

Well, I got the Nitro the other day. I went to the local supermarket and they didn't have the Turbo razors, and since those things are nearly as expensive as a Nitro, I just got the Nitro. I don't use electrics because they tear apart my face...I get bad razor burn, so I just use the disposables. Then I gave the Mach 3 a try and really liked it. It got old, so a few months ago I got the Mach 3 Turbo (red, w00t!). It shaved a bit nicer. Then I got the Nitro, inspired by this thread. I was skeptical at first because it's a dumb razor with a battery in it, but it turns out that I really like it. You don't really have to apply much pressure to shave when it's vibrating. You put on the shaving cream and then touch your face with it and it shaves your 5 o'clock right off. The first time I used it, it was weird, but I'm used to it now. I think it gives a closer shave than the other Mach razors. It's nice not having to apply so much pressure to your face and it doesn't give me razor burn like real electric razors. I'd say it's worth the ten bucks or whatever I paid for it, because like someone else said, it's worth an extra buck to have a more comfortable shave every day. I'm with it till the next new thing comes out :thumbsup:

This all reminds me of the SNL skit with the 10 bladed razor, that cut the folicles out of your face so they would never grow hair again.
