I am confused. Let's see if anyone else goes through similar experiences.
Ok, so once a while when I shave with my Mach 3 (with Bald Guyz shave gel) I get a terrible head
shave. I have to go over the same spot so many times and the stupid mach 3 razor chooses to make
some spots really smooth and others not so.
Ok, so yesterday I said ok this is the last chance I give to my Mach 3 blade. If it doesn't give me a good
shave I am done with this thing. So, I use the blade that had been used twice previously and got an amazing shave. I was very happy with the results because this time the blade made everywhere smooth and not a selection. This leaves me confused. :/O
I don't know if I am doing something different once a while, but for every 3 shaves I get one where I am not satisfied.

Sometimes you just have bad shaves. It happens to me also.
-
A bad shave just means you can shave again sooner! O0
-
Simple skip every third shave or shave with another razor ;D Really sometimes you just don't get as good as shave as the other one but oh well.

The law of averages my friend.................. you should know that since you're a Math Guy!!!!! :*)) ;)

Ok, I shaved my head a few hours ago with a Mach 3 blade that was used previously 3 times on my head.
Today, once again a great head shave!!! I don't know anymore lol...........whatever is happening
and Mike(koz13) you got me there lol ;D how could I forget the law of averages?
Well, the only problem I have with the law of averages is every time I get a perfect head shave that means something bad will happen next time to converge to the average head shave. >:(
No seriously, I am thinking maybe new Mach 3 blades don't go well on my head. Maybe I need to use used blades to get a better shave. Now, that's dumb logic but that's what I am left with.
TANK25-----------do you get some bad shaves even with Bald Guys shave gel?
-
Are you getting the bad shaves when you shave in the morning after you just wake up?
-
math its the new blades. the same thing happens with me. i actually get my smoothest shadowless shaves after my blades have been used a couple times. also...the best shaves i have EVER gotten have been after i let my hair grow for 4-5 days then shave. im almost shadowless and babys butt smooth afterwords lol. i dunno why that is but its weird. its almost like the razor cuts deeper or pulls the hairs out or something.
i find my worse shaves are when i try to shave every day when theres not enough hair to shave yet. i just irritate the hell out of my head. sometimes even every other day is too much. i usually dont go longer than that though.

I shave around 5 o'clock in the evening.
Ghost, there we go!!! lol The last time I shaved was Tuesday so when I shaved today it's been 5 days and yeah like you said I got the best shave. Oh man for the shaving everyday OUCH lol. I have tried that once and will never do it again. It's not worth it for me.
Great to hear though, so maybe I will use a new Mach 3 blade on my face 2 to 3 times before using it on my head.
-
yep yep. its not convenient for people that want to shave everyday (like me) but shaving every 4 days or so will give you the best result. the longer you go before shaving again the smoothest, shadowless, and nicest your head will look.
like i said. i get the worst shave if i shave the next day or even 2 days later.

Ok, lurkers and members the mystery is solved. :)
Today I used a new Mach III blade and got the best shave I could wish for.
About 4 to 6 weeks ago I remembered GASlick and Razorx saying they shave only against the grain.
Well, that's what I was doing for the past 4 weeks.
But for the past 2 shaves I have gone back to my old style shaving with the grain first, and then shaving against
the grain. That solves my problem. I noticed today that shaving against the grain is much easier for me if I have done with the grain first. This way the mighty Mach III will do a fantastic job. :)

I agree I started shaving with first then against and it seems to be a better shave.
