I've been a mach 3 lad for some time, but it's wearing thin and boring me. Morrison's have some ultra super duper battery whiz giz wilkinsons sword half price.

What do you trim your face's with boys and girls? Maybe more boys, but girl's opinions will be taken into account.
 
I've tried all the fancy blades (Gillette Fusion and the Wilkinson Quatro), but each time I've gone back to my trusty Mach3.

Anything with >3 blades is just marketing hype.
 
I started with the Fusion, but it had too many blades and it just kept getting clogged up.
I then tried the Mach 3 turbo and it is much better, I still use it.
 
I've used pretty much all of them as I have a beard that would rival desperate dan and homer simpson. My sink looks like I have sprinkled it with iron filings after I have shaved.

The fusion does give a great shave but it gave me ingrowing hairs.

I now alternate between a mach 3 turbo and a good old fashioned double edged safety razor.

The safety razor takes some getting used to but is great for a nice weekend shave. I go through all the ritual of hot towel to open pores, lathering my face with a badger hair brush and then gently shaving with the blade at a 45 degree angle. You feel so clean after doing this.

In a rush though on a work day, mach three...couple of drops of King of Shave Oil, squirt of gel and away I go. Great shave too!
 
Anyone here use a cut throat razor?

I've been toying with the idea of getting one for ages, but never quite made it through the procrastination phase!
 
I hate shaving so i got a decent electric shaver, sure it costs quite a lot in one go but i feel its well worth it in the long run, these last for years and don't even seem to lose their edge.
 
Sensor Excel!

I find the blades of the Mach3 too close together and my stubble just clogs the blades.
