Are those expensive razors (Mach, etc) better than the 20 cent Bics? Much better?

I use the 20 cent ones and throw them out after every shave.

try them and decide for yourself.

IMO, M3 Power and good quality shaving cream is the way to go. Others seem happy enough with their shave using crappy blades and crappy shaving cream.

Much much better. And the blades last a long time; I can't even recall the last time I changed my Mach 3.

They are much better. I used to knick myself all the time with those cheapos - now a might knick myself once every 2 months. Mach 3 and Edge gel is my formula.

While we're on this topic, what does shaving w/o shaving gel (i.e. just hot water) do to your skin? I've heard it's not good, but forget the reasons.

I only shave once a week or so nowadays, and I've never used shaving cream/gel in my life. I always shave in the shower and then I tidy things out using the mirror when I get out of the shower. I change blades maybe every 20 uses about. I have no idea how to describe my facial hair though [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Anyways, I've been shaving since I was 18, I'm 21 now, and I haven't noticed anything wrong with my face. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I don't think shaving cream makes much of a difference.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I use a Mach 3 Turbo.

maybe not for you. But I find a significant difference between cheap shaving cream and high-end cream. I can't imagine the mess shaving would do to my face if I used no cream.

getting these http://www.greatrazors.com/ supposadly saves you money. they freeze the blades to -300 F before they sell them to oyu. I dont know what it does to the blade, but i guess it makes them last longer. i gave never used them because i am to lazy to buy them.

I go for like 3 months and then remember to change it. Asian genes I guess.

2-3 shaves, but i let my stubble grow longer than most people, so it dulls faster.

Sam's Club for the 20 pack cheap.

Me too. Has anyone else noticed that the better the new Gillette razor is, the fewer shaves it seems to be good for.?
