It is a Mach3 razor, a flashy red design. It looks sleek and sexy. The razors where about $25 dollars before taxes. For the money I got 12 high-tech razor blade cartridges.<div><div><br /></div><div>Going through an old box of things I inherited from my father, I found his razor. This is a double-sided single blade razor, made of heavy metal weighted, with built in tensioner and settings 1-9.</div><div><br /></div><div>Having found this razor - I also purchased a set of double-side razor blades for $10. These are 10 stainless steal blades in a dispenser.</div><div><br /></div><div>Out of shaving cream, something I forgot to purchase at the store, I returned home. I tried out the old razor my father had. </div><div><br /></div><div>My experience; don't spend $25 dollars on the high-tech razors. They're not worth it. The old double-side stainless steel blades worked perfectly. I set the razor on 3, I got a great shave with only one nick, and that's only using water - remember I was out of shaving cream.</div><div><br /></div><div>Using my father's razor had one other advantage, nostalgia. I remember looking up to him as a boy while he shaved and prepared for work. I'll never forget those mornings. </div><div><br /></div><div>Good-bye Mach3 - I've found another step in the long trek home.</div><div><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7500176845366210720-1905831359697935809?l=dial-upjeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dial-up Jeffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09617966338719517719noreply@blogger.com0
