I switch back and forth ( electric/blade ) .. depending on the amount of time I have.. but nothing beats a blade.

I like the mach3, it feels better than the other razors I've tried. I shave in the shower to soften the beard and get 2-3 weeks a blade......

btw: storing the razor submerged in oil is supposed to keep it from oxidizing and the edge dulling as quickly or something along those lines.

I wouldn't recommend the mach 3. It is not the ideal razor if you are looking to shave your taint. Too many blades=Too many variables for cutting your self in that sensitive area.

i prefer the sensor excel to the mach 3 turbo. i agree with what some people have said about the weird angles and irratation and stuff.

Ugh.. screw it. I am going to get a different electric.

Face is so raw, covered in dried blood, and hurts to touch.

Manual blades suck.
