well if they don't bring out something new every half year what else would they be selling to you?

They haven't marketed a cryogenically frozen blade....yet.

What about waxing your face...it would hurt, but it should last a couple of weeks?

How about 2 or 3 blades for less than $1 per cartridge. Now that would be progress!!

Shaving- what a joke. My face should be flat like a sheet of plywood by now after all the cuts and bleeding.

Now with a straight razor I’d of just killed myself years ago trying to use one so there’d be no more suffering. I don’t know about you guys but a straight razor is just plain scary looking to me.

I think I felt the world become a little more useless now.

LOL, I'm guessing we could have Letterman include this in the next batch of stupid human tricks!

I love my Mach 3 and I don't need anything more, although that $1 per cartridge does sound really good!

I'm waiting for someone (probably Xin) to produce a multi-channel razor where you can roll your own blades to suit the whiskers-du-jour.

Remember the old SNL slogan about the fictional Trac 3 trible bladed razor: "Because you'll believe anything"

Even though the Mach 3 (battery powered) turbo blades are more money than the already expensive Mach 2's, they are interchangeable, and I use the Mach 2's.
I only shave every other day, and maybe it's just me, but a blade lasts me 3 months. So even at $8 for 4 blades, changing them every 3 months, only cost me less than a dollar a month, so I am getting my money's worth.

On a side note: I was sent a sample Mach2 with 2 sample blades in the mail (12 years ago), without any actions on my part, I have been using them ever since. I never would have tried them on my own. So that says something for marketing!
My friend who shaves his head and face everyday and has a head that's as smooth as a baby's butt, uses the battery powered one, and that's what convinced me to go that route. It really works quite well.

This is silly.

I can't believe Warren Buffet invests in this company.

Sure, they market their products well, but how gimmicky can you get?

I much prefer companies like Philip Morris. There is nothing gimmicky about nicotine or Marlboro's patented flavor.

My Mach3 never cuts me. Even the first time I shaved and had no idea what I was doing, I didn't manage to mess up. I did cut my lip accidentally when I slipped sideways next to my mouth and got a single cut that actually bled for an insane amount of time for some reason.

Hopefully it will cause the regular 3 blade non-vibrating one to go down in price...

I've used various models of a 2-blade safety razor since I learned to shave in 1982.

I've used 'twin-blade' razors, that like 3- and 4-blade models, have the thin strip blades set one-on-top-of-the-other. Initially, the manufacturers gave a little plastic paddle you could push the the collected whiskers out from between the sandwiched blades with. Then they stopped providing the paddle: I believe they realised that it prolonged the usefulness of the blade.

As I said, I use a safety razor blade like your granddad. Five cost about $3.00 and they're sharp for ages. Shave, take the razor out of the razor, rinse it carefully, and then put it back in. The fact that shaving cream, beard, & etc. don't build up greatly enhances durability.

I save massively on the expense of razors, and use a well-manufactured steel razor instead of paying a mint for craptactular streamlined plastic models that get tossed down the can. I use my savings to buy a better class of shaving lotion.

Clinique cream is the best. Lasts ages with practice too.

This is a nice-looking double-edged razor but it's shamefully expensive.

Go on Ebay or check your local junk boutique for something brass or chrome that's even nice an costs about $7.50.

Go buy some of that Clinique shave lotion.
