A bunch of you ATOTers played up the wonderful benefits of the Gillette Mach3 and, being the sucker that I am, literally bought the hype and the razor.

What a piece of junk compared to the Gillette Sensor Excel I was using!

I agree that the Gillette Mach3 won't knick you but that's because it doesn't shave close.

I've used it for years, never had a problem with it. The schick razors on the other hand, are junk.

I've never used the Sensor Excel, but the Mach3 definitely gives a close shave.

On top of that, you prolly bought one with the rfid chips both in the product and the packaging..They know when you bought it, where you live, when you threw the packaging out, where you go on vacation(if you take ur mach 3 with you..)

j/k, I don't think they can do long distance tracking.. right.. ?

IMO all the 3- and 4-blade razors are a scam, and work less well than a plain old Gillette Sensor. How the hell do you shave under your nose, or get clean sideburns, when your blade surface is that large? I've tried the Mach3 and Sensor 3, and tossed them both when the provided blades died.

I got the Gillette M3 last week and it shaves pretty good, close too, glides really smooth.
