Tried my gillette fusion razor over the last few days..... what a pile of ****.

Had a bath and a shave the other night got out and had to go over again because there were some missed patches, literally having to scrape in all directions to get the stubble removed. Next morning I had to have another and it woulnt shave, just glided over the stubble.. a shave normally lasts me 2 days easily.

Woke up this morning rough as anything had to shave again, 10 hours later and I could do with another, still rough and look like the teenager that keeps putting off his first shave.

It doesnt cut close enough and just glides over the top of whats there, the shave doesnt last as long and is very visible even after the shave.

If you didnt get the free one... dont waste your money.
 
Well, mine is great. Cuts extremely fine and lasts for at least 2 days. Brilliant little shaver.

Maybe you suck at life? :)
 
pffft noob, get skill.

Best razor I have ever used and I have been shaving since i was 14.

My blades only just dulling and ive done about 10 shaves, not too shabby.

Wont be replacing it tho, at £15 for 4 they can suck my "shaved" ones. ;)

When Mach3 Turbo is gillettes biggest profit maker, I doubt very much that will happen.

Wilkinson Sword baby! ;)
 
Ive never really got the point of all of these fancy shavers. A big pack of value disposables costs like 20p per razor (probably even less, i dont really notice the price), and they last for about 4 shaves for me with quite a monkey-fied face.

I'm not exactly one to normally economise on things, but to me its a complete waste spending this much just for shaving. A disposable will do the same job.
 
I think I will pipe in on the traditional OcUK bi-annual 'razor' thread.

When will all you 'boys' realise that all of the razors ever advertised on TV are overpriced gimmicks. You don't need 5 blades, lubricating strips, vibrator, neon lights and flames up the side of the razor, you just need to learn to shave properly.

You only need ONE (1), I shall repeat ONE blade on a razor. A cheapo bic or a good ol' fashioned razor blade type is all you need. Better still a cut throat for extra manliness points.

If it's on a TV advert, don't buy it. I can't wait for the next manifestation of the marketing evolution of the humble razor. It has been turned from an everyday male grooming appliance to a bloody penis extension. What next, 6, 7 or 8 blades, lubristrips that ooze some herbs from Brazil. These items are the shaving equivalent of the supoed up Nova or 106 with a huge spoiler on the back playing crappy garage music at near deafening levels. Put simply, they are the Chav of the shaving world, flashy, loud and classless.

Get a grip, you are men, act like it and use a single blade, soap and hot water. :mad:

:p
 
I didn't believe in all this wasting money on an expensive razor malarky untill I used the Mach 3 with the vibratyness button. Closest, smoothest shave I've ever had.
 
Strange, i dont find it any different, i always shave against the grain and it always feels completely smooth no matter what crappy blunt value razor i use. I just always make sure my face is very hot and soft having just had a boiling hot shower.
 
I wouldn't agree a razor is just a razor at all.


For a lot of people, some razors will bring them out in big rashes.


Eg Wilkinson Sword Quattro = Crap razzor, brings me out in red rash.


Mach 3 - Ok.


Wilkininson Sword Xrtreme 3 - Great.


Disposables are crap compared.



I suppose a razor is just a razor is you're like 40 and you're skin is like emery cloth. a lot of people have sensitive/acne prone skin and the razor you use can be very important.


Just my 2p. ;)
