I still use single and twin blades. 3 and up are just sales gimmicks.

I only use single blades. All other arrangements are designed to fail by being gunked up with trapped hair.

I use single blade disposable bics and have no complaints.

My twin does that too a bit more than the single. So i keep a couple inches of water in the sink to swish them out for continued use. Hasnt failed me yet

The 2+ blade setups wouldn’t have to. But they are designed such that the blade spacing matches the thickness of a whisker, ensuring they catch hair. Space those blades out another millimeter, and the problem goes away.

I use one bic for about a year. So about once a decade, I spend $5 on razors

I've always found the Mach 3 to be the best shave, but I think it had more to do with the open back that keeps it from getting clogged than is does with the third blade.

When the Mach 3 launched, the women in my family were taking the mens' razors and saying how crappie their own women's razors were. The Mach 3 was a big hit.

I still use it myself. I shave my head and the 3 blades is much easier to clean out. I do use a safety razor on my head first to do most of the work because the blades are dirt cheap. About £11 for 100 and they are made by Gillette as well. I bought these blades years ago and still got about 15 left.

I use the Mach 3 to go over again to catch any hair I may have missed. I use it on my neck as well. Those multi-blades are a gimmick and I swear it's to drive up prices.

I also use shaving oil instead of gel or cream. A single bottle lasts me months, a big saving there as well.

Does Gillette still send razors to men randomly on their 18th bday?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

First I've heard of it.

But then again I grew up in South Africa, I doubt Gillette would send us anything for free.

It is a smart way to get young men hooked on their product so that they never try the competition. The blades I use are Astra which are made by the same company making Gillette blades, Procter & Gamble.

Hell, I actually did some work at their factory in Berlin many years ago and they were very specific about their name, it was drilled into me to use '&' and not 'and'.

Well, buy what you think works best for you is all i can say. Anything more than a twin blade is just a waste of time to me as i can get baby smooth with a single properly weilded
