I'm on some special mailing list. I don't know how I got on it, but I don't complain, although I often suspect that it is just a scam to get me to buy blades.
A couple years ago, I got a mach 3, when they were somewhat new. It was a problem because the styled curved base couldn't be used as a mirror. I was a shower shaver, with my old 2 blade razor base having a reflective metal panel that acted as a mirror. I moved into three blades nontheless.
Then about a year later I got a "Champion", which had a different handle and was red, but also came with a fresh cartridge so I started using it. No improvement. A few months after that, I got a "M3 Turbo", which had the new handle design, but was a cooler dark metal, and significantly had superior blades. I didn't believe the blades were superior until I bought non-turbo blades, but turbo is >> than non-turbo.
I was happy with the standard m3 turbo, but I got an M3 Power last fall. It took a shave or two to get used to, but I found that I could shave closer easier and again, I was happy. Early this year my free Fusion arrived in the mail, which feels a bit odd (as I've been shaving with the same sized m3 head for 6 years or so). It does actually give the best shave I've had, but even at costo the blades are too expensive. Both the m3 power and the Fusion hang from my shower mirror.
In summary, I support the m3 power and could get behind the Fusion. Never had an old school shave, although my father still does. I think he still has a strop in the bathroom.
