Gillette conspiricy

[chroma]

Straight razor user here too. I just got annoyed with having to replace the mach3 blades and the general lack of control. Opsmonkey you should try a straight and see if it copes better with your beard.
The only issue with it is the expenses start mounting up. Soon you'll want another blade, then a bettter brush, a better strop, maybe a waterstone or 2. Before you know it you're spending more than you spent on the mach3's. Great fun though

Damascus steel is so damned expensice though, and i would be too scared to shave with anything that cost more than the car i drive.

razors hmmm, well i used to get all these fancy razors at xmas same as any other bloke but then you have to go hunting round for replacement blades for the ~~~~ers and they are very expensive, well thank god when i moved here the annual razor presents stopped and my razor of choice is a bog standard non swivel head, single blade, no battery's, bic disposable. shite i hear you cry but sorry i can buy them anywhere pack of 5 for 1.15 euro get about three shaves from each then bin it sorted, and no packing required got them in most places in the world, strange this thread was clearing out boxes a few days ago and found two mach three razors they went straight in the bin...... shite

oh the fusion razors are amazing - so smoove

Not smooth for the boyfriend when you pinch HIS to do your lady bits... and NOT tell him!
Anyway Lianie.. The Fusion is a mans razor, why do you think tiger woods and johny wilkinson are used to advertise it?
I am sure there is a pink version out there somewhere, with 2 or 3 blades .

I loved my mach 3 when i first got it and then the mach 3 power came along. both razors used virtually the same razor heads but the M3 power blades cost about a quid more than normal M3 blades.
I imagine that a good many men also noticed this and simply bought M3 blades for their M3 power.
Gillette knew this and this is the sole reason why i believe they have redesigned the razor heads for the fusion - to skank us- to give us no choice but to pay nigh on 10 squiddlies for 4 blades.

razor blades are the one of, if not the most shoplifted item in the western world. this should suggest to gillette and all them other ~~~~ers that men are happy with their products but want cheaper blades. how do they react to this? they devise a stupid plastic box that makes the theft of blades more difficult and whack up the prices of all their blades.

i do love my fusion though... mmmm... smoooothe

We just use the man ones and sometimes we even let you have the first shot

Straight all the way, like Chroma said, after your initial investment(for top quality), its gravy all the way. in this world of safety this, safety that, its nice to walk on the wild side and have a blade that will split a hair in 2 up against your jugular and laugh at the danger.

I went in Asda yesterday, was in desperate need of a Fusion blade, but ?21 for 8.. ~~~~ that.
I ended up buying a wilkinson sword Hydro3, complete with 2 blades for ?3. And I just love the sticker on the front.. 'NEW .. SHAVES BETTER THAN MACH3' And it does.

And you still wouldn't get on the Ryanair flight with just hand luggage.

The fusion was a really great shave when I got it as a pressy for Christmas 2009 and used it sparingly keeping it for special occasions for a complete shave.
Both blades got blunt late 2010 and I was aware that new cartridges were expensive so I ~~~~ed it there and went back to the old style blade.
I agree with xant and the cost of replacement blades is downright robbery for something that is mass produced.

dont know what it is but my fusion blade lasts me at least a month and i shave every two days.
