iwishiwascool Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 As a long time user of the Mach 3 turbo, and the standard Mach 3 before that, you could say that I have a tendency to buy into the latest and greatest in shaving technology. When I heard a 5 blade (!) razor was going to be available, you can imagine my enthusiasm. As I stumbled into the Grocery Store last night at 2 half hung over, half drunk still, I saw it. The sign beckoned to me. I could not resist. I woke up this morning eager to put use to my drunken bounty... Aesthetics: Upon initial inspection it seems a bit flimsier than the MachIII, the What is metal on the mach is represented by a chrome type paint on the Fusion. (to be fair though, I have lost 2 Mach 3 turbo power staffs to gravity and its subsequent introduction to my shower floor.) There are definitely 5 blades spaced much closer than the mach. There is also a sixth single "trimmer blade" on the top of the opposite side of the cartridge. I only found out its use after a visit to the web page. In Action: I remember the first time I used a MachIII power staff. I said "wow". Now acclimated to the Mach, my person bar of razor expectations has been raised. I haven’t said wow since the first use. I said "wow" again. Cutting through my whiskers like so much butter, I had to wash the shaving cream off to make sure it actually performed its function. In only a few moments it was all over; painlessly, effortlessly. Best.razor.ever. Initial Quality Rating: 9.8 The only points lost were due to the cheesy chrome paint job.

Trouble Maker Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 http://greatinventions.tv/products/images/razor.jpg http://www.dialysis.co.uk/images/12blade.gif Shaving is a pain for me. I use the MachIII, but didn't buy into the MachIII Turbo. I might have to try this new one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwishiwascool Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Mach III blades run about $2/ea. Fusions are about $3/ea. I use each one for about a week. They will probably last longer for those of you who dont shave your balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never once even come close to injuring the loose boys. I can imagine that it would be much more dangerous with a single blade bic blasphemy of a razor.

iwishiwascool Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 In this day and age it is almost uncivilized to sport a garden in the southern region. Daily shave + powedering of Gold Bond for a successful life. PS: My Myspace blog concerning the razor is complete with pictures.

Lustalbert Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 If it aint above my neck, I dont shave it. May try the new 5 blade on the face though, since shaving is required every day for work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street pilot Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 The difference between the mach 3 and mach 3 turbo is amazing. A normal mach3 actually hurts my skin now that I am used to the turbo. M3 power was a joke, glad I didnt pay money for it. It does work as a vibrator for the ladies though May have to try the new one now.... although $3/blade is getting up there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I like my M-Power; I can tell a difference with it over the standard Turbo (which IMO was only slightly better than the regular M3). I might have to try this out. For some reason, my chin has gotten more sensitive to shaving recently (sometimes wants to break out, or will just be sore after a shave). Let's see what 5 blades do. Sucks these blades cost even MORE money!!! BTW, a clean shaft and sack are a must, and everything else should be trimmed nicely. If I'm munching downstairs, I expect my lady to keep it nice down there; just gotta return the favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
