    My beard ALWAYS killed Fusion 3/4 in the way of my first shaving. Second shaving.... impossible to use as I would have in grown hair instantly. When I switch to SR the only problem I have is RAD and low budget on PayPal :-)

    i used to never shave my face ( except if i had a goatee) , just use hair trimmers with no guard .. but i used to shave my head with them once-twice a month , id get about one head shave per fusion blade , and 2-3 face shaves ... really i could care less if i ever shaved before not cause i hated shaving , just hated a clean face ... now with the straights i shave just to shave , i still hate a shaved face but the fun of thee straight razor far out weighs not liking a clean mug !!

    I have to wonder what new "shaving system"
    Gillette will be introducing to us ten years from
    now??

    No doubt as always it will be presented on a
    gilded platter as " the best ever ". To prove it
    they will pay an enormous amount of money for
    an NFL endorsement ( or NASCAR ) and lets not
    forget those pretty boy celebrities.

    The cartridges will be even more expensive as
    they phase out Mach3's and by then even the
    Fusion as well.

    Hmmm five weeks? Wonder if i can get my straight to last that long lol. Out odd curiosity i looked up on Amazon, about 30 dollars for an eight pack of fusion blades wow, i haven't even bothered to look at prices in many years. About two and a half our three years ago i got 100 feather blades for about much, glad i made the switch.

    I used to get 2 comfy shaves out of a cartidge and the 10 lousy tugging ones. When i switched to DEs, my wife told me 'this the first time i see you with a proper shave'. I have a friend who claims that it lasts him 4 weeks and another who claims 8. I never seen them ever, ever clean shaved. So i guess it boils down to the definition of a shave.

    A 9 bladed cartridge which is only compatible with a particular handle. This handle has a button that when pressed heats up the blades for that extra ultra slicing action providing men with the smoothest and most comfortable shaves like always.

    The whole reason I got the straight is to stop having to buy cartridges for my mach 3. I just couldn't get a good shave with it. I nicked myself at the edge of my nose nearly every shave trying not to have a moustache, & it always bled for an age. I also more often than not seemed to find an unshaved bit about half an hour after shaving once my skin had dried & settled.

    I'm still having to use the Mach 3 to finish off as I'm still in the early stages of my straight training, but even this gives a better shave once I've been over with the straight. I suspect shaving soap intead of foam & a better routine helps quite a lot as well.

    Unfortunately, we're still going to be buying mach 3 blades as the missus uses them at a rate of knots. I swear I'd take the first blade out of a pack of 8, & when I went back for a new blade a month later there'd be 2 left.

    I'm looking forward to the day when I don't need to use my old Mach 3 at all, but that's some ways off for me yet.

    Eventually I think it's going to be like a wash board with blades. Hold the board still and rub your face up it. Does more blades really make for a better shave? How many is too many?

    I like the gels they do to complement their new razors too. It's all a big lie but there are a few choices on shaving now to get the best shave for you.

    Cartridges and disposables actually put me off shaving the same way the price of hair product put me off growing hair on my head

    I found your idea of a washboard razor humorous, and the fact that I actually imagined gillette advertising it with the "gillette man" rubbing his face against it in the motion you described, while looking at the camera added to the humor.

    I would not mind at all purchasing shaving products from gillette if they made ones that were decent for their intended purposes. How about a Mach3 style shavette with a lubricating/styptic film near the edge? They could sell the film along with blade holders (like a Dovo shavette), I don't know if I am coming quite clear but the point is simple, if it is comfortable and worth it then why not?

    This is the problem , it simply doesn't appear profitable enough. Pack of 10 DE blades around £5. Pack of 8 fusion blades £17 on Internet.
