I have used the Mach 3 for many years, and have no complaints. Good shave. However, the Fusion is even better. Smooth & close shave.Customer Review: best shaving tool ive used yet

It cost more than any other blade but does a better job so its worth it.

Summary: 4 Stars
Updated 29-Jan-2009. I've been using this razor for several months, after waiting to hear from others just how well it works. I have a fairly tough turf, shaving only MWF, resting on the weekends. Up until this point, I liked Sensor Excel best, and detest every electric unit I've tried. Since I really like the razor, I was surprised by some of the low rankings. I use Edge gel with extra lubricants, and I shave in the shower (yes, these things make a huge difference).
Pro:
-Blade life appears improved over my Sensor Excel
-Vibrating handle not a gimmick, works well once you get used to it. Initially I found a lack of my normal "feel" when shaving, but quickly adapted
-A beefy well-weighted handle with a secure seal for the battery. Other razors have popped apart with the blade flying off on me if I dropped them, but not this one. My Sensor Excel was notorious for this.
-Large blade "eject button" is nice, yet doesn't let the blade pop off prematurely (see above)
-The "hole" in the handle head is great! I have a wire rack that holds my shampoo and soap. This same rack has a few "hangers" that this razor slides onto nicely
-Very good battery life (still on the first one months later)
-Plastic holder has a bigger "foot" to stay upright better and it's easier to see at a glance how many blades that I have left due to the clear sides, a feature that my Sensor lacks
-On/off button flashes when battery gets low... hard to miss and allows you to get a least one shave
-Best for last: a very close shave on a very tough face
Con:
-Razor head is large, single blade on the back is a good idea and is sharp, but I can't seem to make it work as good as it sounds. It's a first generation idea that I am hoping gets some refinement.
-Price... Ouch! Fewer blades per pack AND much more expensive. Buy in bulk, look for sales, save coupons
-Plastic tray is much larger than my Sensor yet holds fewer spare blades (4).
-Old blades from Sensor are not compatible with Fusion (you can mitigate this problem by taking your old shaver to work for those embarrassing days when you miss a small spot)
Bottom line: Recommended if you've got a rough face! Doing it all over again, I would buy it again. Also, I recommend that you try different gels, shaving in the shower, different shaver brands as each face is different and Fusion is pricy.
