I had gone through all the hype, and never had found a razor that would give me a decent shave. I tried the Fusion 5 blader, but ended up throwing it out. I went back to standard two bladed shavers. Besides the novelty wearing off, the price of the refill blades was outrageous. Never again.
 
mach 3... i find it works well. I dont have alot to shave so I can comment if you are a harry person but it seems to work well enough
 
I use the Quattro if I want to shave with a manual razor. My wife just recently upgraded my electric razor to the Braun360 Model#8985. This thing is sweet! Best eletric razor I've used, it cleans itself, gives a close dry shave, and it maintains itself and lets me know when somtheing needs to be changed. Literally cuts my shaving time in half.
 
All I've used for years is Mach 3, love it. Only use my electric to trim down to something shavble if I go like a week w/o shaving if I'm at the lake etc.
 
It may not be your razor, what are you using to shave with;soap, shave cream, what???

Agree, check here: The Art of Shaving , they have top notch stuff you can't get in stores. Their creams and everything are incredible. Night and day difference between store bought stuff.
 
I use a Norelco electric. I use to use blades but it's to much hassle.
 
The absolute best way I have found to shave is shaving in the shower. Get a shower mirror and feel the difference. Plus your blades will last twice as long.

Old school. Safety razor with glycerin soap using a badger brush. Closest shave you'll ever get next to a straight razor. Blades are a heck of a lot cheaper too.
 
I have tried Shick Quatro, and it was average (probably good to shave head, not good enough for face). Fusion literally sucked. 5 blades shave out your skin.
The on that worked the best for me for is Gillette M3 power.
It's basically mach3 with a little vibration, which shaves out better with less irritation. I get my refill blades (I used refill blades from mach3) from Costco or Sam's club. Much cheaper this way.
 
I shave in the shower where I can let the hot water and steam soften up my face. I use a Mach 3 along with Gillete shave cream.
 
I actually still use the Schick Injector razor. Single blade but I like it as I have tried to use the multiblade versions, I just find them just too bulky. Since the Schick is so old I can only get the injector blades on-line.

Usually my Norelco electric, but use a Mach 3 with Edge gel for "special occasions":D
 
use my braun 360 self clean self everything its awesome always been an electric guy, also have the fusion which is the best razor ive used.
 
I think it was the Fusion I got in the mail for free a few months ago. It worked well at first, but only for a couple weeks and then it performed the same as my cheap two blade that I use with Meijer brand blades. The Fusion came with a coupon for $2 off blades, so I knew they had to be expensive. So I looked the next time I was at the store, and just about crapped my pants when I saw the refills were $25 for like 5 blades. As I said, I get the cheap Meijer brand for like $2 for a dozen. Probably not the closest shave ever, but fine for me. My hair grows pretty quick anyway. I've never used an electric. Back in high school (almost 15 years ago) I used my friends a couple times when spending the night and I hated it. I had to run that thing along my face for so long to do a decent shave that it left my skin red and irritated. So I never wanted to try one again.

Did you say Edge? You mean Edge 2000 pad kit:p ?
 
Mach 3. Tried lotsa others and always go back to it.
 
You guys gotta go to The Art of Shaving , that's where I get my stuff besides the Mach 3. It's like buying OTC detailing products compared to the boutiques, you won't go back;) :righton:
