I'm curious to see who uses what. I recently had the benefit of a professional shave and the gentleman who shaved me explained that triple-blade systems are terrible for black men (anyone with short, corse, curly hair) and those with sensitive skin. He recommended a double-edge razor, or at least a double-blade system.

If a black guy has trouble I reccommend one of those bump fighter blades.
Some white guys with short, curly beards have the same problem.

I use a mach 3 and I have no problems.
Except for the price of course.

Just about every electric has been a waste of money for me.
Except Braun. I think I may switch over to that completely.

Sensor Excel (2-blade version) although they aren't listed on their site I may convert to Mach3 which I was staying away from due to the higher price.

<-- M3T

I love the way razers are named to appeal to blokes. In 5 years it's going to be something like Super Mach 3 Turbo ultra Hyper Plus 5000 Injection Booster Rocket with Buster gonad shaving cream

I use the throw away 2 blades from costco. Gilette I think. Mach 3's don t work for me, because I have course hair. For some reason they only seem to rip hair out.

i'm sure many of you know this, but just passing along the knowledge...
mach3 blades on ebay are a great deal.

Mach 3 regular
Tried Shick Quattro and it was horrible. Are the Mach 3 Turbos worth getting over the regular?

I still don't know what the difference between Mach 3 Turbo and non-Turbo. Only difference I see is the aloe lining that supposed to keep your skin smoother? If so, isn't that whas shaving gel/cream is for?

I use Mach 3 since it's cheaper than the Turbo version.

M3 Power here. I don't know what's up the vibration, but it definitely helps for a close shave.

A local news station in my area did a test on the M3T and the M3 Power razors and found them to be the same.

BTW, I use M3T
