Mach 3 was got as a gift.
But even its blade is too expensive.
Supermax Elegence quad is a gud and chaep and almost as gud as Mach3 in performance but not quality. It has 4 blades and some 50~60 with 1 blade free.
And i use Old Spice Musk cream.

i didnt understand by 'none'. Do u have beard like a saint[or Bin Laden]?

I feel too lazy to shave.sometimes i look like bhediya due to that but my school teacher gets angry and i hav 2 shave :D these days i shave regularly :D after using many types of shaving kits i found that gillete vector plus gives me lotsa cuts but the simple gillete twin blade use and throw for 15 bucks is best.though it turns out to be costlier than vector plus as vector plus blades r cheaper

my god, imagine what the girls here think of us? :D

any way i used to use Mach3 for a long time RED color, but my uncle sent me a new gillette fusion its a 5 blade razor with one extra blade on the other end of shaping the side burns. :D cool stuff.
and i use gillette gel.

the sad part is that i could not find any blades for that yet in bangalore.



what's next i wonder?

For me, Gillette gel or foam, with Glide twin blade razor and Cool Water after shave from old spice is the best...

Gillette Presto. Use and throw with fixed blade. Only 14 bucks. Who will bother with changing blades? I'll rather spend that time playing on my PS2. Shaving cream and after shave both Denim. After this bottle dries up, i'll change the after shave to Old Spice.

Vector Plus.

No fixed shaving cream - Axe, Gillete, and currently.. don't laugh ... Emami!! LOL. Actually, I went to buy Gillete. The shopkeeper didn't have it. He said a new one has come, try it. So I did. It's not bad.

^^ Because using blades is more risky and has a higher chance of getting cut. If you're not careful your face will get cut so badly even your mom won't recognize you.

I use the Desi disposable ones in which we have to put the blades ourselves. It's more suitable for people who shave only once in 5 days or so. I have used vector plus too but it's better to use when you shave more often. Also read this in reader's Digest once, that it's better to use Desi razor with Disposable blades if you shave after many days.

Mach 3 with Old Spice shaving foam. Man! Shaving foam SUCKS!! I tried different techniques to soften my beard, but it never happens. I'm waiting for this can to get over. Gel for me please! Mach 3 blades are costly, but I simply like the simplicity. Very easy to clean. I use aftershave rarely. I suggest that you guys use aftershave occassionaly, not regularly as there chances that your skin my blacken after few years. I saw 2 instances, so suggesting.
Zeeshan Quireshi
Feb 15, 2008 at 9:37 PM
I don;t use aftershave normally . Only when skin gets cut or gets itchy . Haven't applied aftershave in the last year or so .

Dunno bout the blackening part though .

Mach 3 blades r not costly if you consider how much they last . I normally shave Once a week and they last like 3-4 Months along with Gel , coz Gel softens beard so much that Blade glides like malaai .

I usually apply gel+Hot water n leave for like 10-15 mins n then shave , gives best results .

I have been using Mach 3 for some time now and Gillette Gel with Denim After shave. To be really honest even I wanted to start a similar thread to find out which is the best shaving set available in market. Looks like I have to stick to Mach 3 considering the replies I got on the same.

I have used Mach 3 for a good 5 years now...shifted briefly to Sensor Excel for a couple months while I was in Australia because I had forgotten my Mach 3 set in India and my friend had a spare...yuck! Its horrible!! Mach 3 is seriously the best in the market IMO...

THere's Schick Quattro...but that's kinda useless too...leads to lot of cuts and not as comfortable a shave.

but the simple gillete twin blade use and throw for 15 bucks is best.though it turns out to be costlier than vector plus as vector plus blades r cheaper

yes, the simple use-n-throw gillete blades are really good. I first shave with them and then shave with MACH 3. It gives a real close shave. And i use moisturiser instead of after-shave.

and wash your face with warm water first. U get a comfortable shave that way!!

All this much trouble for shaving?! I just use my electronic trimmer. I don't even need shaving cream! And it's not like I'm looking for a close shave or anything, though it is pretty smooth after that.

And what's all this after shave nonsense? No need for that. I don't use after shave. The only time I did use it, it burnt my face. Why go through all the pain?

Crazy FOSS users :D

Aftershave is used as an antiseptic so they are bound to contain alcohol. If you don't want alcohol then you have to use creams like boroplus. I suggest you use nothing unless you have cut yourself. I just use moisturiser cream.

I have been using Gillete vector long back..then got my Philips trimmer. I am lazy when comes to shave, so cannot use the trimmer when my beard is grown..so used Lazer 3 blade, now it is stopped, so using Super max 3 blade, but it's killing my skin, it is very rough..so gonna go back to Gillette. Using Gillette foam and Old spice after shave.

Guys, when going to the Barber, after the shave, I think he uses the after shave, it will be in a white bottle, the moment he puts it in my chin and cheek, it will be very chill, refreshing and evaporates very soon, we will not feel the pain. Do you guys know which brand it is.???

I use Sensor Excel with Gillette Shave Gel. Since I use a blade once only, shave twice a week and each blade costs around Rs 55, shaving is one of my biggest expenses in a month!
