Gillette Mach 3 Refillable and Disposable Razors Review

   As a middle aged consumer, I am very conscious of product utility versus costs.  Due to almost daily nicks from disposable blades and additional encouragement from siblings, I purchased a Mach 3.  Being somewhat of a "squeeze water from dime" individual, I get the max use out of my purchases.  I can honestly claim that for a relatively small cost increase over disposable blades the Gillette Mach 3 is superior as nicking is unheard of.  I have a tough middle age facial growth and I get super close shaves from individual blades.  Usage varies slightly but average 4 shaves per cartridge before noticable decrease in quality of shave is apparent.  I have purchased a large quantity of cartridges on 'E' Bay and have substancially increased my utility versus costs but would have had no qualms about restoring stash at regular grocery store prices.  The main complaint is my kids (who shave) were robbing my stash and disposing cartriges after one use.  The Mach 3 is the best performing on the market in my opinion as I've tried many samples through mail.  3 blades does the trick!
