Gillette Mach 3 is absolute crap!

Call me old-fashioned, but I was doing just fine with my Sensor excel. Decided to try out the Mach 3, and was majorly disappointed.

Yeah cool that it has 3 (instead of the previous 2) blades. Big friggin deal! Frankly, I couldn't notice the difference!

Anyway, there are basically two things which suck about it.

1. The 3 blades create such a large blade-face (the head of the razor, which touches your face), that it's almost a nightmare trying to get your side-burns right. (For the mentally challenged of you, sideburns are the hair growing on the side of your face between your ear and your cheeks).

2. The blade-face is flexible. A little too flexible. It moves so damn much that I have to press and twist it almost 90 degrees or more while shaving my neck and upper lip!

I'm relieved to know that Gillette Fusion (Friggin FIVE blades) has finally resolved problem number 1, by adding a separate blade behind the blade-face for sideburns, and goatees. However, it still does make me wonder about the level of research and deliberate on the competency of the guys at Gillette who developed this in the first place!!!

I mean, of all the things, they have a woman (scientist/researcher) explaining the dynamics of the Fusion on Gillette's official website!

Now, some would argue that most men would buy any product that an attractive woman would tell them to use - even a shaving product.

Poor them.
