for all of you that are old enough to shave, i have discvovered the best razor ever.... the gillette fusion.....i shave not only my face, but my head aswell, and i've used a mach 3 for years now.... i thought it couldnt get any better....i was wrong....the gillette fusion has 5 blades on a pivoting head that shaves my face and head to a finnish smoother than Samuel L. Jackson in Shaft. No razor burn either.....try this razor, you will like it....just thought i would share that:D

Hmm.. I've been using a Mach 3 for ages. I guess I should give this a whirl. :) - what's up with the Fusion Power though? Does the battery powered one make a difference?

I'm old school - Gilette Sensor, baby! Not even the Excel version. Two blades, one moisture strip and a beard that resembles those hair things growing out of the back of Jeff Goldblum in The Fly.
Actually, it's the only razor I've ever found that has worked well for me.

norelco FTW. Also the head blade is good for shaving your head...

Real men use old school cut throat razors. I have one that I use for just special occasions when I'm going out and need to look A1. It takes great skill and a steady hand, but well worth the experience.

General day to day to look good for the office, a quick whiz over with an electic does the trick. Boring weekends I use a mach3 turbo.

im not confident enough for the old school stuff. i'd hit the jugular and that would be the end of it. :eek:

Lets just say at first there were many occasions where I left the house with almost a full toilet roll stuck all over my neck and cheeks.
Once you get the technique mastered, it's a doddle.

Yikes... lol I use the Fusion with the battery in it the vibrations allow me to plow threw a shave job much faster. I work at a fancy pants 5 star joint where I have to shave right before the shift, and have my shirt and slacks starched to hell... heeheh the Fusion is the only thing I found that is Quick enough that i'm not at the sink for over 5 minuets and the shave does not cause SDA ( sub dermal acne) those annoying shave bumps form shaving so often.

KeenDean, i've always wanted to try one of those blades but the fear of slicing my jugular or gouging my pretty face detered me. It seems that even once you get the swing of it, it would still be a time consuming process. I do have to say that you get major cool points for the "old school" value of that razor:tup:
