Upgrade to the Mach 3 for a better shave, easier cleaning, and cheaper cost per week.
I have used these razors for about 3 years. I'm a dry shaver, so a good, sharp razor is very important to me.<br /><br />The one really big fault of these Customplus blades is that there is no place for the cut beard to go, so it packs in between the blades. (As I dry shave, I simply tap the razor on the sink every stroke or two to keep it reasonably clean.) The Mach 3 and Fusion have the open backs, which are almost self-cleaning, so I prefer that design.<br /><br />Each razor lasts me a week. The first shave is great and the 2nd and 3rd aren't bad. 4th to 7th get worse and by the end of the week I WANT a new razor.<br /><br />When I first became aware of these a couple years ago, they were priced at about 20% of the price of a Mach 3 blade. Now in 2014, they are about 1/2 the price of a Mach 3 disposable. What has happened is that the price of these razors has doubled, while the Mach 3 has stayed the same or even come down a bit.<br /><br />Now the Mach 3 is a great blade, and I can get 3-4 weeks out of one, with a better shave and easier cleaning - all at the same cost per week, or even cheaper. In my opinion, the Mach 3 is at the best cost/performance point.<br /><br />The Fusion? I used my initial blade for a whole year, though I have to admit that sheer pride kept me gritting through the pain through the last few months. The replacement blades only lasted a month or two before I couldn't stand them anymore. In my experience, they are still way overpriced compared to the minor increase in performance over the Mach 3.
