I'd guess to say that for over 10 years the Gillette Mach 3 razor has kept this rugged mug in fine condition. I love that razor, even dodging the Schick Quattro 4 blade allure we ran steady my Mach 3 and I through thick and thin hairs. Through goatees and miami vice stubble (don't ask) up through present day where I shave my entire head except eyebrows. Mach 3 has been my sword of choice.
Until today.
Walking through the pharmacy I see the uberhyped completely pimped out chrome and orange Gillette Fusion Power. Yes. Power, a AAA battery vibrates this little monkey to give a feeling of... well I don't know what the hell it's supposed to do. It vibrates and uh well ya know so it's better. Now this isn't a cheap row to hoe. The shaver is about $12.00 but the blades, don't drop the soap boys, are about $15.00 per 4 pack. YOWZER! Standing there in the shaving essential aisle I think... "time to unpimp ze razor" hehehehehe.
Quick math time - 2 packs of refills and the razor plus need some new shaving gel and face wash... over $50.00 to frickin shave??? I whip through razor blades like some people do underwear, about every 3 days it goes from new to toast so this isn't a cheap proposition. But I decide hey, with a nice bonus check who'd really care. So with trepidation I splurge.
Shower and lather (I shave in the shower, you don't? are you insane? try it, you'll thank me later) and with a bit of nervous anticipation I lay the blingmonster to my jowls and pull. I feel nothing. Huh? Swipe again, I feel nothing... must've left the blade guard on. Nope, it cut a clean swath through my 3 day face maze with no resistance. WOW! I quickly finish the face in about 70% the usual time and lather the head, the true test. ZIP BAM WHOOSH and the dome is chrome in record time.
If you're considering upgrading from a Mach 3 to the Fusion I say, be not afraid, risk more to soar higher and pursue your dreams of shaving nirvana. Lose those little razors of yesteryear and step up to the blingity future, it's so bright you'll have to wear shades.
Until today.
