i tried the gillette sensor 3 because it got rave reviews, and it totally sliced my face up.  i waited a couple of days for the razor burn to lessen some, then tried this mach 3 turbo.  well, i only got 1 cut apart from the razor burn so that was good.  but it gave me microcuts all over the razor burn - probably my fault for not waiting long enough to shave.. (i used neutrogena razor defense gel)<br /><br />but here's what might bug YOU - at first i noticed drag - what the heck?  i hate drag!  it wasn't even much growth at all!!  i haven't used manual razors in a long time, but i get the feeling that gillette's blades are just not sharp enough.  i want it to slice through a little growth like butter!  heck, that's what razors are for.  i bet if i went to the barber and got one of those old style, sharp blade shaves, he'd cut right through it, with no razor burn either.  also the shave feels good, but when i look in the mirror i see some little black hairs.  so i'm questioning this whole 3, 4, 5 blades business.  are more blades really better?  (especially for sensitive skin guys like me?)  a website says this:  "c. Use a single blade razor, as twin or triple blades tend to scrape the skin, resulting, more often than not, in razor bump. Also avoid disposable razors."  hmm..  i might have to give a single blade razor a try.  but i do like the mach 3 swivel.. pivot head thing.  it seems to me, in theory at least that should help you reach places under your chin better.<br /><br />at least it seems a lot safer to use than the gillette sensor 3 ....
