Red Baron 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2006 So one day I bought the new razor, because I forgot my razor at the gf place. Man, what a waste of money. It's good, but not the smoothest I've ever used. Anyone else use this razor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2006 I like it. I don't have small cuts on my face that I normally get from subpar razors. My gripe is the fucking price of these things. Hopefully I can get a bunch of the replacement heads for xmas or something. 9 bucks for two of the heads is stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sideburnious 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2006 I just use the classic Mach 3. I feel it works the best. The wilkinson (sp) sword quatro cut me to shit. I tried the Mach 3 turbo (with aloe vera or whatever other crap they tried to say what was on it) and the blade was almost dull/the strips wasted away after the first shave. I stick ith the normal Mach 3 and get long use out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2006 I dont remember the last time I had to shave..this year probably.. I still have the Mach 3 razor Gillete sent me for my 18th birthday which coincidentally was right before my hair all fell out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2006 I like the Fusion. Smoother than the Mach 3 I used to use. Has anyone seen the battery-operated version? What the heck do you need a battery for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted October 21, 2006 I dislike all of these razors. Mainly, the thing is I have really thick, stereotypically latin curly hair and that goes for facial hair also, so if I don't shave my neck regularly, I get bad razor bumps. Thing is, all these multi-blade razors are bad for that since they shave TOO close, so I have a crappy electric razor, and I just use the back of the Gillette Fusion I have for around the mouth and trimming sideburns (which I'm constantly messing with how they should look like). I think I'll probably end up switching to just regular ol' single-blade razors, since those seem to be all I use on the Fusion, just wish I could find a blade similar to that quality. I'd like one of those Philips SmartTouch XL dealies, but I wouldn't waste $150 on a freakin' electric razor. My $30 Philips from Target works perfectly fine, for now anyways.

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2006 I shave my face about once every six months, and when I do, I get the hot shave from Lou's Barber Shop. Nothing finer than a 65-yr old ex Marine trimming your sideburns with a straight-razor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted October 21, 2006 I don't care. When I first bought it, I felt stupid and didn't want to use it around my girlfriend, but then she saw it in the grocery bag. So I shaved and it didn't cut me or leave any bumps. The lady at the counter probably thought I was a fag, but who cares. It's the best razor I've ever used.

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2006 The gillette fusion isn't food. Huh? My guess is he misspelled "good" and since edited it? EDIT: Nevermind. Progression through the boards resulted in my answer. Has anyone seen the battery-operated version? What the heck do you need a battery for? I'll qfe. I've been using a Mach 3 for the last two or three years (altho I don't shave all that often) and was thinking Fusion....but something about a battery operated razor doesn't sit very well with me.

the max 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2006 Has anyone seen the battery-operated version? What the heck do you need a battery for? It allegedly "massages" your face while you shave. Call me crazy, but having moving blades near my face isn't something I'm clamoring for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted October 22, 2006 All it really does is have it kind of hum/vibrate a tad, there's no moving blade. I just think it's a waste of money, like most of the Gillete products from what I see now. And I think I'll go and try 909's suggestion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I really have to shave every day, or else I feel like I look disgusting. I'll agree here, I used electric for years, and I finally decided to go for Fusion for two reasons. The adverts for it over here rock, and also, electric never get you 100% smooth. Hell, not even 40%. I'm amazed at how much better Gillette Fusion is in comparison to electric. No cuts, all smooth. Very happy customer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
