Title: question about mach3 blades
Post by: mouse404 on May 09, 2009, 10:40:00 AM

how long do they last?  i have the mach3 turbo and supposedly when the green bar is gone on the blade it means its time for a new blade...however my green bar goes away after about two shaves? is that right???

dont go by when the strip fades. its just a marketing scheme to make more money. its innacurate. you can get AT LEAST a good weeks worth out of a blade.

as those before me said, it is definitely a marketing scheme, i believe as someone else said that sensor excel strips don't have a color change their already white

just urge with caution once it turns white and let the blade tell you if its done or not

Yea that green strip nonsense is bull. I usually get a solid week with each Mach 3 blade.
