So, I've noticed a strange thing about these blades over the years. I usually purchase the regular Mach 3 blades, sometimes I will buy the Turbo edition blades but I have not really noticed any difference. Strange thing is, the first shave with a fresh blade is always a bit 'naff' shall we say. I don't know why, but the second shave is always the best. The third shave is just 'ok' and the fourth I will not go near. I only use them three times, as I have a tough beard that wears down the blades fast. So, am I imagining it because the blade is sharp on the first shave?

I tend to agree actually. Blades tend to give me a better shave once they've been broken in a little bit. It's like new shoes I guess.

Wouldn't know...I stick to electric.

I've noticed that too... the first time seems rather harsh, the second-third seems smoother than a baby's bottom side, and the rest cause cuts if I try the same method I tried the previoud two times...

Wow, I must get a good 10 shaves out of a set of blades. Must cost you guys a fortune, always replacing blades....

You must have a thin and/or small beard. I envy you.

Have you considered purchasing an electric razor? (See: hair clippers, for best results)

Never known an electric razor to get even remotely close to a wet shave. No matter what Victor Kiam says.

I find the ability to simultaneously sit at one's computer and trim one's stubble to far outweigh any arbitrary value of "closeness."

Time to ship you off to the computer addiction clinic.

Psh, I can get off any time I want to.

I just...don't want to.
