Which razor cartridge system do you use?

Being Asian I dont get that much facial hair but I still use an electric because of the time and hassle it saves. Seem to be alright over all but definitely not as close as a razor.

I'd like to see their testing methods. I think you'd have to use one type for about a month, for anything meaningful to be deduced.

straightdope.com had something about two vs one blades but it was two decades old. It mentioned consumer reports and, at least back then, CR said a blade was only good for 4-10 shaves, which I totally disagree with. People need to give more credit to metal: It's hard and your face is not. It lasts a long time!

Oh God, I use one crappy disposable for a solid two weeks, if not, three. By the time I'm done with it, it's as ratty as my old cars. It's such a pleasure to switch to a new one at that point. Man, it glides so nice and smooth!

Mach 3 regular for me. I get the blades at Costco so they aren't so freaking expensive (still cost alot, but you get a ton). The wife uses venus which I used one vacation when I forgot my mach 3 and it did a good job.

Actually, the blades are so fragile even thick beard hair will cause the blade to bend and buckle. Hot water can cause a blade to warp.

The blades aren't nearly as tough as you give them credit for. You're just blessed with tough skin.

i have tough skin, but the powered blades don't nick me as much.

I can shave forgetting to turn the razor one and have blood spots.

turn it on and it's nice...

I use my blades about a month, I can grow a beard in a week.

I do use an electric to keep my beard shaved though...

Mach 3 turbo is a ripoff. They improve the design by incorporating an extra lubricating strip and instead of just calling it an improvement and keeping the price the same, they decide to charge a 30% premium for this improvement and create a "turbo" model. What a clever marketing job.

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

Yea and they just got nailed by false advertising for saying it made the hair stand on end. The one representative said "computer-generated image of the razor lifting hair away from the skin was never meant to be taken literally." You can almost hear them saying "SUCKERS!!!!"
