Title: 2 or 3 blades?
Post by: Sup on February 01, 2008, 10:29:01 PM
Was wondering what you people prefer and what gives you the best results.

I use a Gillette Mach 3 for my facial hair and love it, so i used these blades when i first shaved my head. But then i thought why not try 2 blades (disposable) the next time, and so i did.

And I must say i really like the 2 bladed more than the 3 bladed one. It just feels like its smoother and much easier to shave the hairs off and less clogging. But on the other hand when i used it to shave my facial hair with i didnt like it and i got several cuts  :Xo!.

So i think I'll keep using the gille mach 3 for my facial hair and the 2 bladed one for my dome  O0.

Im curious if some of you guys got the same thing.

3 blades for the face (Schick Extreme3) and 2 blades (Gillette Atra generics) for the HeadBlade Classic. Best Combo I've found for the SchroDome.

I use the Schick Quattro, so I guess it's 4 blades for me.

HB doubles for the head and HB triples for my face (HB-sport)

Trips for the head sjhave not as smooth as doubs, doubs in the face - I got cuts and burn.

The dome feels smoother when use three blades. The only time I'll go with the one blade is when I HAVE to go to the Barber and put the straight razor to it.

Every so often I'll try to use up some of my double bladed HeadBlades and I can't wait to re-load with a tripple blade!  :@`

Die-hard Mach III user, so...
Three blades on the face.
Three blades on the skull.

But I recently traded my HB Sport with a fellow SBG member in exchange for a manual Fusion, so going to give the four blades a try. O0

I've been using a Fusion razor, so I'm in the four-blade camp. Warhawk, you've mentioned you're a Fusion guy all the way; have you tried other blades, and how do they compare? I have no point of reference, since I've only used the Fusion so far.

Well, i used mach 3 again and it was alright, but it just doesnt cut my hair as easy as with the disposable 2 blades  :/O.
And the result is just the same.

But when i use the 2 bladed on my face it just aint that good as with my mach 3. But then again when i use the 2 bladed on my dome its easier then with my mach 3.

I think ill try the Gillette Sensor and see what comes ou tof it  :)

I alternate with a few setups. I use the HB and Atra doubles and the HB triples for the dome. The doubles work best for me, then the triples. I have also tried the Sensor double, but it just doesn't get as close.

For the mug, I will use either an Atra or Sensor double, and every so often the Mach III.
I find that with facial hair (goatee), it's much easier to get into those tight areas with a slimmer faced blade (sensor, atra). I find it's much harder to carve with a triple.
