Sensor Excel. I don't like the Mach 3 because the cartridge is taller and harder to maneuver in the upper lip area.

Christ, any money you geniuses save on Hot Deals, is long gone for what you get raped for stinkin' razor blades!

Ten cents each for blades that last three weeks (if my wife keeps her hands off 'em), and used at least once per day. No shaving cream, after shave, or any other frilly hoohah.

I think I use a Schick Quatro or something like that. But only because I got it for free.
I use normal safety razors because they are cheap and they do just as well any other time.

I use a three blade disposable. I'm nearly finished with my current one, which I've been using since january and it's gone through about 90 shaves. It's a shick. <sp>

Ahh, another bic man.

Gillette sent me a free Mach3 for my 18th birthday (BAHAHAHAH) and it hasn't been used yet. Then again, that may be because I havn't shaved in like a year. Probably should.

No way, it's just what you get used to. My wife buys whatever is on sale, so I end up switching from one to another. Takes about a week to get used to a different type. Same deal if you switch to electric, but that takes about a month.

Yeah I've used crappy cheap ones and the high end mach 3 crap and they're all the same: sharp blade using cheap materials that gives a close shave. The only difference between a disposable three blade and an expensive one is the cost.
LOL, what a shocker

The Shick Quattro is bad. I have used the m3power which I think does the best job. Currently i am back the sensor excel cause they were cheaper.

The newer gilletes are better because i have less cuts and get a closer shave. Electric razors work fine on the cheeks but is a waste on my neck.

I found that with one I had. It was fast and convenient, and good on the cheeks, but made a rashy mess out of my neck.

If anybody has a consumer reports account they have some razor comparisons, but I can't get in.

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.
