Move to Mach 3?
More reasons to ditch DE and move to a Mach 3
Now that you've read them, here's the news. I still have my Gillette Sterling, and decided to give it another go today after reading all the suggestions in the previous two threads (apply no pressure at all).
I used Vidyut SuperMax Stainless blades, one of the smoother ones out there and the shave was pretty good to say the least.
The burn when I applied the alum was almost the same (if not lesser than) as when done with a Mach 3 i.e., almost negligible.
The closeness of my latest DE shave was around 60-70% of that achieved by a Mach 3 keeping in mind that I did only two passes this time round (I do three with the Mach 3: WTG, XTG and ATG); and both were WTG.
Here's to this forum and the gentlemen (and ladies if there are any) on it. Thank you!
