Pros: Excellent shave, 3 blades per razor, re- useable, good design
Cons: Extra blades cost a fortune!
I am not a big fan of electric razor, cause you always need a charger to take with you - it´s very unhandy. That is why I decided very early to shave my beard with a manual razor.

BUT you have to be very careful of what you buy. My experience is that cheap disposable razor leave behind a completely disaster: razor burn and rifts on your skin. I tried many of them but even after-shave balm or shaving gel couldn´t help.

My latest discovery was Gillette Mach 3 Turbo Razor. I´m so happy that I could find a razor that doesn´t ruin my skin. A friend of mine recommended me Gillette as he had very good experiences with this brand.

Design:
I think Gillette Mach 3 Turbo looks very stylish in its grey and black colours.
The razor still has textured rubber grips and metal grooves for better handling and control.
The single-point docking makes it very easy to change the blades.
Also forward-pivoting cartridge head ensures that the three blades always remain in the optional shaving position.
Ten enhanced soft and protective microfins proceed the blades to shave evenly.
A patented Indicator Lubricating Strip improves razor glide. The green stripe fades if you are not longer getting the optimal shave and you should change the blade.
Anti-friction blades reduce resistance and removes more of each hair.

Application:
It is always better to use shaving gel before you actually shave. That reduces slash wounds and you will get a smoothier skin after shaving.

1. I embrocate my face with shaving gel
2. I use Gillette Turbo easily from one direction to another, even against the grain. The technology of Gillette Turbo is good enough to do that with no bad results.
3. I wash my face and embrocate some after-shave balm (L'Oreal Men expert, Vita Lift)

Effect:
It is unbelievable how soft and smooth my skin feels after shaving it. Gillette gives a very close shave with less irritation and a great comfort whilst holding the razor. I am so glad that I found a method to make myself look younger :).

WHY GILLETTE MACH 3 TURBO RAZOR?
Well, beside from the fact that I think it is the best manual razor on the market, I find no big difference between the original Gillette Mach 3. It looks better now and the glide improved a bit.

Price:
I think the price for the razor is justifiable but the blades are very expensive. I try to use them very long. They are easy to clean, so there so is no point to buy them persistently.

Result:
I gave Gillette Mach 3 Turbo Razor 5 stars because (beside from the price of extra blades) this technology is just excellent for people with abundant crop of hair.
