your razor/cartridge?

Don't bother posting about how you use an electric razor.

Mach 3

about seven shaves

about the same on the Mach 3

same here...so expensive!

I went with an electric for awhile but it seemed to get worse every time shaved. Then I would go back to the mach 3 and it would seem so close. I would cycle and it seem that my beard would just grow immune to which ever one I was using at the time.

well since I use my razor for multiple purposes ... I would say two to three shaves

I use mine about a week although they last fine for two weeks or more. That's about 25 cents a week blades.

I don't use "shaving cream". It seems that it's biggest effect is go gum up the blades so that the second shave from a blade is not very good.

I use a mug with shaving soap and a brush. The difference is amazing. If I had to just use shaving cream, I think I'd grow my beard back again and keep it the rest of my life.

You're supposed to dispose of them????

I pretty much keep the same one until the razor burn is unbearable.

I switch out a mach 3 every monday morning religiously. For the others who change it that often, do you sometimes notice that everyonce in a while it'll seem to go dull after a day or two, or is it just me?

whenever the color-coded strip is gone.

Second the mug and shaving soap!

a week/week and a half

I have gone back to electric for the past few years.

that's about it for me too

Ditto.

Jim and the twins are neatly cropped and trimmed, but certainly not shaved.

about 6 weeks. I don't use any lotion, cream, or anything, the mach 3 is fine just by itself, with some hot water.

I guess I change mine out about every 7 or 8 shaves.

Considering I shave about once every week and a half or so, they last a long time

i dry shave w/ my mach 3 and get absolutely no razor burn and makes the razor last long...bout 2 weeks shaving every other day. i do have to say though that shaving for me is usually just the neck and sometimes the sides, so i don't shave the whole face which of course also makes the razor last longer.


Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

i dont use a mach 3 -mach 3s would always tear up my face- just the regular ol bic disposable. i'll get 2 shaves out of it, and my neck it bleeding profusely after the second one. of course, there's like 12 razors in a pack that costs $3-$4, so it comes out to about $.20 per shave.

If I could only master shaving in the shower, then maybe I'd get more out of the razors.

(Yes, I have noticed that sometimes razors dull fster than other times)

i shave in the shower and i get a max of four shaves out of a mach 3. i either have really sensitive skin or really tough facial hair. i'm going to try the shaving soap thing.

My razor blade consumption has dropped dramatially since I grew a goatee. I keep the cheeks mowed down with an electric and then clean up once a week or so with a blade. A blade lasts me three months or so.
