Have been using Gilette 2 blade and then 3 blade(mach 3) cartridges for more years than I would like to admit. Over the past year or so I have found that gilette has cheapened their 3 blade cartridge. I used to get about 10 shaves per blade-I wet shave in the shower with no shaving cream. Now the first shave is not as close or smooth as it used to be and I get about 3-4 shaves out of a cartridge. The second-fourth shaves have pull. I purchased an electric sharpener that helps-it extends the life of the blades. Gilette has to have cheapened it's manufacturing process and the outcome stinks. I have a shower at my office that I only use once in a blue moon. In the shower I have a gilette razor that uses a 2 blade cartridge. It must be 5 years old and the blades are about the same age. I recently shaved with these and found that the shave was smoother and closer (and they last for about 10 shaves) than my recent experiences with the new 3 blade cartridges that I use at home.
Does any company make decent blades? Gilette is now making a poor product. The old gilette 2 blade cartrige works great. If someone could recommend a 2 blade or 3 blade cartridge I would appreciate it. By the way the electric sharpener works pretty good.
