Gilette really shot themselves in the corporate foot with me. I had been shaving for twenty years with one electric razor or another and never got a good shave. Finally got fed up with them and took notice of two free ones that Gilette sent me. They sent me a free Fusion and Mach 3 Turbo. One would think that Gilette would want me to use the more expensive model rather than the cheaper Mach 3. Tried both and liked the Mach 3 better. I will tell you why:
1) The fusion has such a big head that there are some places that it simply can not go, I know that it has the blade on the back for those hard to reach places but that is only one blade - the Mach 3's head is much smaller and can get the whole head in those hard places.
2) Cost - why pay more gilette seems to think we want to pay more.
3) Wilkerson Corp said it best when the company said "the simple addition of one blade does not necessarily make for a better shave." Only if things in life were that simple.
Had Gilette not sent me the free Mach 3 I would have probably never known about it and stayed with the more expensive model. Thanks to Gilette I will be sending them less money they I would have otherwise.

Mediocre and Overpriced, March 13, 2008
By supernatural (Illinois) - See all my reviews
Unfortuantely, these mediocre and overpriced blades are probably the best shave that most people will get from the mass produced blades and shaver systems. It gives a better shave than most 2 blade razors I've tried (Excel, etc.), and 3 blades is about the most blades that I can use on a razor and be able to get to all the nooks and crannies on my face - thus I don't recommend the Fusion or any other razor with more than 3 blades. Here are a few other points:
1) For thicker beards, these blades will rarely last more than a few shaves before you feel the tug and pull leading to razor bumps.
2) I do give these blades credit for the flow through design allowing hair and residue to be rinsed through the blades without clogging them; but, then again, why do you need 3 blades in a razor? With an exceptional blade, you should only need one to cut your facial hair.
3) Another design flaw with this razor (as well as most razors) is that the "fins" or whatever they are called, on the bottom portion of the razor head (that supposedly "prep" your beard) actually scoops away the shaving cream before the blades have a chance to touch that portion of your face - so now you have 3 blades being pulled across inadaquately lubricated skin. Trust me, you need the shaving cream there when the blade scrapes across.
4) I would recommend getting a classic double edge razor. My wife has noticed a huge difference in my face and neck - no more razor burn! I can shave everyday now. I prefer a Merkur double edge razor which can be found on Amazon or you can do a google search for "classic shaving" to find them for cheaper. The blades will usually run about $5 for a ten pack, and one of these super sharp blades last about a week for most people. Think of the cost savings and the benefit to your skin if you only gave up purchasing the ever increasingly expensive and insane multiple blade cartridges.

I have not used any other shaving system that came close to Gillette's smoothness. I am very sensitive and have few proublems with the 3 blade setup. Only issue I have is that they are pricy.

These are serious blades with unparalleled comfort - except for maybe the new Gillette Fusion blades which are still prohibitively expensive. I've used a lot of razor blade types over the years, and while the Mach3 Turbos are a substantial improvement over the Sensor line, I can't imagine razors improving significantly beyond this. I've used the Fusions before and while they're great, I don't get the sense that that extra blade is really doing a lot.
Some people seem to shave daily with no issues, but some of us aren't so lucky. That's where the Mach3 razors really shine - the shave is close, but gives the least amount of irritation of any razor I've used. If you have problems with your razors leaving your face feeling raw, you can do all sorts of stuff (better shaving cream, soaking your face in hot water, etc.), but at the end of the day, it all comes down to your razor. Your best bet is with the Mach3, or the new Fusion. They are both comfortable and without any major faults.

I use this with my m3 turbo and some Kiehl's Closeshavers Squadron Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream White Eagle for my daily morning shave. It's the best combination for thick tough stubble.
