First, a little background, I've been shaving since i was about 14 or 15 years old, on a regular basis, i think i was shaving like once every two weeks before that, but that's not the point, i've been shaving for a long time (and yes, we are talking about facial hair).
I first started out using the disposal razors since my hair was so fine, it really didn't matter what i used, i probably could have gotten by using a butter knife at first. and i would use those disposables until you could see the jagged edges in the blade. i'd throw it away and get a new one out of the package. then i graduated to Gilette Sensor razors. Those felt much better, and i couldn't go back to the disposables if i had tried. not long after that, I was introduced to Gillette Sensor Excel blades, and due to the fact that the price was not that much greater, i thought that they were well worth it. they had better lubrication strips at the top, and a nice little rubber thing on the bottom that strectched your skin nicely. it made for a very comfortable shave.
Now, I never thought that a razor could ever be better than that, and when the big hype about mach 3 blades came out, i laughed, i thought, what in the world could make a razor with three blades better than a razor with two, who cares? well, on my birthday, gilette sent me a mach 3 razor with a mach 3 TURBO blade. it also had coupons for shaving cream and more blades. i thought, heck, it's free, i'll give it a shot. the first time i shaved with it, i thought, that's a great razor, but didn't think much of continuing the usage of it. the next time i shaved with it, i had a bout 5 or 6 days growth, i was looking grizzly. now most times, i have to take my hair clippers and trim my beard before i can shave it off, but since i was already late for work, i thought i would just give it a shot anyways, and have bad razor burn all day rather than being that much later. so i took the mach 3 TURBO to my face, and if ya wouldn't know that it was the best shave i have ever had. i know will only use mach 3 TURBO blades, because they are worth every single penny you pay for them. on top of the fact that it feels better, they last longer as well. i got 3 and a half good shaves out of the first blade where with the sensor excel blades, i would be lucky to get 3 really good shaves, and most of the time, 2 was it.
that ends my review of the new Gilette Mach 3 Turbo razor blades, Go out and get one for yourself. !!!! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
