Mach III vs Mach III Turbo

[Razor X]

I've always shaved my head with the Mach III -- aside from a brief flirtation with Headblade.  I always stuck with the original Mach III blades, as opposed to the slightly more expensive Mach III Turbo blades.   The original always seemed to do a great job, so why spend more money and fix what isn't broken?

Anyway, about two months ago I saw a good deal on eBay and got 100 Mach III Turbo blades for $95 and free shipping.  I had a few regular Mach IIIs to use up first, so I just got around to using the first Turbo blade last weekend.  I've been curious to see if there was any difference.  As I suspected, there is not.  There's an extra lubrication strip on the Turbo, but it wears out just as quickly as the lubrication strip on the regular blade.  I see no significant difference.  Bottom line:  buy the cheaper blade and save yourself some money.

They are exactly the same blade save for that 1 lubricating strip like you said.

100 blades for 95bucks is still a great deal though.

I used the Mach 3 Turbo until I discovered the HB and Fusion. I get a much smoother shave.

I received a free Fusion in the mail when they first came out.  It did a decent job but I'm not paying $4 per blade.  I saw a good deal for Fusion blades on eBay -- I forget how much but then I saw the Mach III Turbo deal which was even better.   Headblade does get slightly closer but also causes me more irritation.
