feelnfit · Dec 12, 2003

just got 2 new gillette mach 3 turbo razors. they are great. don,t even know you are shaving. they just glide across your skin. no nicks or cuts. but those damn refills. $8.00 for 3 refills.

Go to sam's club or costco they have 16 refills for $25 its still expensive but a lot better than 3 for $8.

Be careful with those MachIII! Those babys are great but sharp!

yeah i shaved my face with a new one yesterday, and i wish i would of shaved my arms or something first to dull it up a bit.. honestly it was too sharp for my face, but i fought through it like a man.

Personally I thought they were crap. I dunno. They were painful to use and it took me longer to shave with one of those than a normal razor... too big and cumbersome... always had to touch up with my old razor. I am not a fan.

I shave my head with a Mach3 Turbo every day. Blades are bloody expensive though, usually get a few head/face shaves out of each one.

I remember getting a batch of dodgy blades. Used one and it cut my head to shreds, tried another one and it did the same bloody thing. I didn't try a 3rd time.

Craig W · Dec 13, 2003

I get my blades from a market, works out a bit cheaper. It costs me £6.50 for 8 blades. Not sure what that is in $.

Actually i used to love the regualar Mach3 blades a lot. When they came out with the Mach3 turbo i thought it was a marketing scam. I eventually tried them and have not gone back since. The best blades i have ever used. I have sensitive skin and get razor burn with the cheap blades but no burn at all with the mach3 and mach3 turbo. Oh, and yyou don't have to buy a whole new mach3 turbo razor like i did. The blades fit on the regular mach3. I was a dumbass and thought i needed the new mach 3 turbo razor as well. I give them both 2 thumbs up though but the turbo is a little better.

Pittbull™ · Dec 13, 2003

The Turbos are the best blades i've used, they give a real close shave and just glide over my skin, with them being so sharp i very rarely need to do touch ups either.

Anyone tried the quattro yet? Wondering if 4 blades is better than 3.

bolo · Dec 14, 2003

i use my wifes venus, it's awsome and she buys the blades, but don't tell them they get really pissed.

I switched from the Mach III to the Schiek Quattro and I think 4 blades is slightly better than 3. My beard is very, very, heavy (especially when I'm on), I mean I have 5 o'clock shadow by noon. With the Quattro I have it by 2pm, so its a slight improvement, LOL! I get mine at Walmart and I think the price is pretty decent, but expensive nonetheless.

I still have the Mach III and use it for my nuts, etc. when I'm to lazy to use a depilatory.

What are you, crazy? Doesn't that set your gunny sack on fire?

I recently switched over to Schick fx with the diamond coated blades, its only a double blade razor but they are so sharp they just glide over your face=-- I am also one of those guys with a heavy thick 5 oclock shadow, and now that I'm on I find I'm shaving twice as much --These new diamond cated blades are alot better for me since I get alot more shaves out of it-- way more than with a triple blade since the coating kereps the blade sharper -- I can only use a triple for maybey 2 shaves because it dulls easily and gives me a rash and tons of ingrown hairs-- I get alot more with the schik-- I wasn't really a fan of those flexable blades but it works good with a good blade in it-- I recently bought a pack of Sensor 3 blade disposables and they were surprisingly good-- I always get a better shave with a heavier handle on the razor but for a light plastic handle they worked really good

Don't you mean gunny sack - when off and "raisin bag" - when on

lmfao I use my fiance's too....that thing is bad ass, it has a soap ring around the blade that lubes the skin for you....you can be rough as hell with it and it still won't cut you.

I have to be sneaky with it though lol she'll get pissed if she knows I used it
