i plan on buying some blades in bulk, but i'm not sure what to buy

i've been using the mach3 turbo blade (2 cartridges came with the razor)...but i'm just wondering if regular mach3 is better? has anyone used both and found one superior to the other?

thx in advance

i like turbo better. Smoother shave, against the grain. (alright that sounded like the commercial, but hey! its true for me.)

I discern no difference. However, my facial hair is still in the "peach fuzz" stage, so... :p

Most of the magazines I read suggest using the Turbo. It has an extra lubricating strip or something like that.

I was going to post this last night. :)

Going to do some shopping today and was thinking about picking up a Mach 3 for trying out on an upcoming trip. I like my 15 disposable razors for $2, but I shall step up to the (semi) luxurious blades now.

I think I'll pick up the turbo, but I'll see what the selection is.

I've used the Mach3 for several years now and the Mach3 Turbo for a few weeks and I can say that I definitely prefer the Turbos over the regular blades.

Agreed, turbos are definitely better - but I don't know if they're sharper or what, they just pull less. Try the Turbo for a week and switch to regular, it's horrible.
