I have both the Mach 3 and the Fusion. I've been using the fusion for quite some time now, looks like I'm gunna go back to the Mach 3 for a while. Only problem was I used the Mach 3 when I first started shaving, and had no clue how to prep my head or what products to use, so I nicked myself often, now that I know, I'm sure I'll get a nice shave out of it. Wow I'm looking forward to this.
I wonder if it's even possible to cut yourself with the fusion... because the blades are so close together. The downside of this is that I always felt that I'd have to put an extreme amount of pressure to get a close shave, along with doing more passes. With the M3 on the other hand, shaving is a luxury.
I feel you on that one. That's the only real flaw I can point out with the fusion, sometimes you do need to put quite a bit of pressure in order to really get that stubble.
Well because of this thread, I went out today, bought some new Mach 3 blades, and shaved. God knows how long it's been since I used this razor. I had the smoothest shave of my life, looks like I'll be taking a break from the Fusion for a while. Only problem is, I thought the blades would have been a lot cheaper. Harmon's, pff :x!
Extra Virgin Olive oil! TANK introduced the idea in another thread. It should let each razor last at least twice as long as they usually do. Look into it.
hmm but how would you stack the mach 3 against the sensor 3?
I know the sensor 3 cartridges are cheaper and I figure if I plan on going back to the mach 3 and the sensor 3 cartridges are of equal shaving quality about, why not just go ahead and get the sensor 3 handle and cartridges. I guess I also just want an excuse for more shaving gear, haha.

What is the main difference between the two razors (Sensor 3 and Mach 3)? From what I saw on the packages, it just looked like the two had different angled heads.

Well you pretty much nailed it on the head there. I just bought the sensor excel handle the other day and it came with two excel cartridges and one sensor 3 cartridge on the handle itself...upon closer inspection the sensor 3 and mach 3 cartridge are pretty much the same except you couldn't change out the handle/cartridge with each other. The only difference is the price pretty much so I'll be trying it out tomorrow on the dome and the face and if I like it i'll be sticking with that from now on. I figure if i can save about 10 bucks per cartridge pack and i can use it for both my face/neck and head then its a win win in my book.
Hope for the best tomorrow morning :) 8)

Yea man. Good luck! A bad shave for us SLB is like a bad hair day for women. Screws up my entire day. lol. >:(

update on the sensor 3: I just used it today for the first time on my face and dome and got a nice good shave out of it, no nicks to speak of and no serious irritation(always a little redness for me) i'd say it was of equal quality to the mach 3, the only real difference was the fact that the head is angled different. Great shave I'll be sticking with this for a while, its cheaper than the mach 3 and the fusion especially (by about 10 dollars) and I can use it for my face unlike the fusion.
cheers :)

your right a bad shave for us is the equivalent of a bad hair day for women or men who have hair.
cheers
