What's your weapon of choice when shaving?

[DragonKnight]

Mach 3.

Ummmmmmm i tried the mach 3 and I thought it sucked. I have a thick beard though, everytime I would shave a little I would run it under the water and the hairs would never come out. Didn't shave close either.

"its 2 DOLLARS were talking about"

That buys me 10 fresh BIC shavers, which feel awesome when first used. I'll get at least 10 comfortable shaves from one of those and stretch it farther on occasion. Saving money and being frugal is not just one transaction. It's a mindset that permeates everything you do.

To me, giving 18 year olds a free shaver is a slick ploy. They have no choice about what replacement blades to buy. It's proprietary after all. Like giving away Polaroid cameras for real cheap. They make the money on the replacement film. We're only talking 45 cents per picture after all! A printer for only $99.00, but the ink cartridges are $40.00! Where do you suppose they make their money? We're only talking 6 cents per page after all! Maybe I'm just cynical, but I believe Apple's marketing scheme of giving free PCs to schools years ago was in the same vein. Once the kids were using Macs, their parents bought Macs for home use and the kids bought Macs later. Pure evil, eh?

I'll give a mach 3 a try if I can obtain one for free. I fully expect it to shave just great at first, but I gotta see how long that $2.00 refill holds up. In other words, I ain't getting sucked in by hype! I know how well a fresh BIC shaves and I have zero complaints. I remember when the first disposables came out. I tried using a "safety razor" a few decades ago and believe me, the BICs are heaven compared to those! I remember when they offered the first 2 blade disposables... wow! Then the three blades... OMG! :Q What's next?

i've used mach 3's since they first came out. paid like 20 bucks for the razor and a few refills. it was very expensive and worth every penny in my book.

i have coarse beard and sensitive skin so the razor i use is VERY important and it has to stay sharp. i change my refills about every 2.5 to 3 months.

Mach3 is nice, but those things are too expensive for disposable blades. I just wait for the Bic Sensitive disposables to go on sale and pick up 20 razors for $2. I shave every day/every other day so I don't need the extra 2 blades even though it'd prolly be less brutal.

Mach3 rules.

Gilette Sensor Excel. Tried electric shaving a few times, but result wasn't smooth enough. (Or I was doing something wrong.)

 

[Gibson486]

I used to use disposable shavers. But last week, I got a free mach 3 in the mail. Enclosed was a letter saying "At Gillette, we think every man deserves teh best. In recognition of your 18th b-day, we've sent you our best to enjoy as a complimentary gift". I don't even know how they know I turned 18 or how they even got my address, but I got a bunch of free coupens too

Gilette Sensor Excel
Ohh man, It takes 2 blades to shave 2 weeks of fur :Q

 

[Xenon14]

Gilette Sensor Excel - although I haven't tried anything else... my dad bought it for me 2 years back, been using it ever since. I shave against the grain, I get a little irritation, but overall my face is left very very very very smooth.

 

[Chrishuff1]

Mach 3....Got it free in the mail

 

[Thedirtydog]

Bic disposable ! First class all the way !

I'll probably get crucified for this but what the hell there's a first time for everything....PICS?

 

[littlelilith]

Female here, and I use the Mach 3 too. :Q

Any razors for women I've tried just don't work well.. either a LOT of nicks, or they leave my legs stubbly [yuck!]. So the Mach 3 it is.

 

[lawaris]

manual buddy...........with warm water.........better still if I am having it done by a girl !!!!

 

[Utterman]

Mach 3 user and love it.

 

[CStroman]

I have a dremel, but I shave with a mach 3. I have considered switching over to the "burn-it-off-in-3-seconds-with-something-flammable-and-a-lighter" method.

 

[Danman]

I have a Norelco Advantage with the Nivea lotion dispenser. It works pretty good.

 

[heartsurgeon]

mach 3, i loved it so much when it came out, i wrote the company a letter telling them how great it was (hoping for a freebie - nothing happened).
got my son a mach 3 when he started shaving this year.

 

[SuperPickle]

Got a Gillette Sensor randomly, and free in the mail just before I turned 18. I stuck with that (great marketing ploy, huh?) until the Mack 3 came out. Of course I had to switch and still use the Mach 3 but I keep that Sensor around for hitting the tight spots when a really close and complete shave matters--like on a date. Unfourtunately, I don't need that kind of shave often

So you're saying a Gillette Sensor gets a closer shave than the Mach 3? Then why use the Mach 3?

It's a matter of having a smaller tool to get to the tough spots like right under the nose. The Mach 3 has too big of a head to get the job done properly. It's kinda like using a roller to paint the walls but using a bruch for the trim.

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

Depends on what you are shaving.

free mach3, too bad blades are freaking expensive X_x
