Mach 3 Turbo is a rip off, stick with the regular Mach 3. A stupid little strip that does nothing isnt worth the extra cash.
As for getting the best shave and getting the most out of your blades, here`s what I`ve discovered.
Get up in the morning and have your shower! Do everything likescrubbing and shampooing first. By the time you`re done that your skin and facial hair have softened up. Dont bother with the soap or the gel and just shave with the blade and water. Make sure that your shower head is hitting where you are shaving so as to keep the blade clog free and to lubricate.
Now when you`re finished use some aftershave.
I have extremely thick facial hair, and the individual wiskers are massive in their diameter. If this works for me it`s gotta work for you. Plus this method has the added bonus of not getting soap or gel clogged in your pores and causing shaving zits.
