Gillet M3 Power razor OWNS!

[-Jayson-]

omg i just bought and used of these new babys, man im amazed by how comfortable of a shave that was. Incase you dont know, the new M3 power razor from gillet is the one thats got a little motor in it that makes the razor vibrate. Before the shave, i hadnt shaved in a little over week, so the beard was getting pretty thick. This razor just cut right through it, i couldnt really even feel the razor, it just glides along on your skin and leaves a really comfortable shave. This post might seem odd, but ive always hated shaving, i used to have the Mach 3 Turbo, but that ALWAYS gave me razor burn and made my face feel like it was on fire when i was done. But this one, it feels amazing. OK enough of my rambling.

But by far the GIllet M3 Power is the best razor ive ever used. For 17.99 it is by no means a cheap razor, but you can still use any of the Mach 3 razors on it.

my dad told me that style of razor came out several years ago. i do not care to try it, but i am glad it is working for you.

maybe if i saw it at a garage sale or something i would buy it, but for $18, yeah right.

What exactly does the "motor" do if it is not an electric razor? Isn't it just still a manual razor?

Its bullshit - its a gimic. Listen to the commercial, it says the razor emits "micro-pulses" that suposedly raise the hair so it gets cut closer. I've got the regular machIII turbo and it IS a great razor. I think that Gellete was kinda caught off guard now that Schick came out with their Quattro 4-blader so they concocted this new one. Like replacement blades are not expensive enough, now you've gotta replace batteries????

I don't even buy the replacement mach3 TURBO blades with the moisture strip I just go for the regular mach3 blades - way cheaper and basically the same bloody thing.

the motor in the power razor stimulates your hair folicles, causing them to stand on end and be easier to cut/shave, also causing less irritation.

Meh, I use an electric Remington, It does an awesome job, I just don't care most of the time, and miss spots.

[publicenemy137]

meh, I still use the gillette sensor excel. Those tri-blades and crap are too expensive. the sensor excel does its job, I do get irritation if I don't shave for awhile though. One gripe though is I can't shave upwards for my beard, so it's not the closest cut. If I shave upwards it'll get really irritated and bumpy. Anyone here shave upwards?

so you use a regular mach III??
(mach III turbo + mach III blades = mach III w/ turbo handle!!

beard hair is so thick, I doubt it really makes your hair stand up that much. Also it would have to use statis electricity, mere vibration isn't going to make shit stand up, much less thick beard hair

There was that thread about overclocking the toothbrush, I wonder if someone can overclock a razor.

yup
i shave up once, then polish it off by shaving down and getting any hairs i missed

I get a nice close shave that way

[ghostguy6]

The only good thing Ive heard about the M3 razor was that it can be used as a really cheap " marital aid"

[SiGNAL748]

I don't understand why people waste money on things like this. I just buy a billion pack of gillette disposables at costco. Some people might argue that they don't shave "close enough". Those people just need to learn how to shave correctly.

[publicenemy137]

disposables suck. They cut your skin more often and they aren't sharp, and don't last as long
