Go back to blades.
The Mach 3 by Gilette.
I was a confirmed Atra man for many years. Then Gilette had to go and send me a Mach 3 in the mail. Three blades? What a crock o'crap, I thought. Marketing hype. What next? 10 blades?
"The first blade pulls the hair up, the second and third cut it incredibly close, and the fourth through tenth gouge progressively deeper until the hair folicle is eradicated, giving you the closest shave possible. Warning, may cause unconsciousness due to loss of blood."
My first shave? I was convinced.
Schick did just send me a Quatro for women (it was free!), and that gives a nice shave, but I still like the Mach 3.
The best thing about the Mach 3? I don't know whether it's just my whiskers, or what, but I'm approaching my SEVENTYTH shave with a single blade cartridge, and it's still performing better than my Atras did when the blade cartridge was brand new.
