The Cart thread (enter at your own risk!)

19 shaves on the Mach-3 so far. It started needing extra effort mid-week, but the results are still good. It should make it 3 weeks (Sunday) and I will see if I can push it to four.

So what you're saying is, we can save money by switching to carts?

Not unless you can get one to last 3-4 months! ...... Although, if you use straights, carts could be cheaper way to go

Of course I'm tagged in this but lest we forget that @GearNoir shave with his wife's shower razor.


Lol had to get you in here too Chris.

So funny. My neighbor announced that he shaves with his wife's shower razor. Venus I think. He likes it because of all the gel type stuff on the head. Eeeeewwwwwww. Gross. On your face? Never.

I used to go 4 weeks on a single cartridge when I shaved daily with a Mach 3. The last several shaves weren't very good but I didn't know any better back then.

I like this idea. What do you keep putting in your basket and just can't decide on.

Everything! But that’s my M. O.

I have to travel for work this whole week and traveling is when I break out the carts. My travel set includes the Gillette Sensor Excel.

Wrapped up shave-28 with the Mach-3 this morning and I'm calling it done, even though I could have done that partway through last week.

A serviceable razor, but I think I still prefer the Sensor to it.

So is a Gillette Guard a cart around these parts? I use one when traveling light.

I would say so, @bobmsp . After all, the blade is a component of the detachable & disposable head. Sounds like a cart to me.

I would say so too, but there seems to be a pro-fusion of multiblades in the discusion.

Sounds good to me. A solid razor for its class.

I imagine when King Gillette introduced the razor which "eliminates stropping", it was viewed as the "cart of its day" by detractors.

 

[woodpusher]

I would venture that they were the first mainstream disposables.
