I am a wetshaver. That means that I take the shaving experience to it's ultimate ends. I belong to all the shaving forums. I went from throw away razors to double edge vintage and antique razors. These were fine shavers. I then progressed to straight razor shaving. EVERY MAN should know how to use a straight razor :) . I have a pretty large collection of "user" straight razors. I strop them, I hone them...
I have a spine injury that creates spasms from the pain...at times...I would slash my face regularly...One day, running late as usual, I tried my Son's M3 razor with a several day growth of beard. Shaved one pass against the grain got a BBS shave..
This is WONDERFUL. It gets into the nostril area and any hard to shave places are easy for this. I have nicked myself ZERO times.
It makes me complacent when I shave with this. It is that good.
Blades last a long time, the motor is always on when I use this.
I still prep my face with hot water, use many different brushes and a wide variety of soaps and creams. QED Wild Rose from a groupbuy on TheShaveDen.com is my fav. The rose scent is terrific and very uplifting. YES! I have a lot of creams and soaps..I still gravitate to this FO glycerin soap.
I haven't told any of my buds on the DE or STRAIGHT RAZOR forums that I use an M3 EDC basis..

Night and day over a regular mach shaver.

Huge improvement over a regular mach shaver. I use the regular mach blades instead of the newer more expensive ones and get a close comfortable shave every time. The older blades seem to last longer and the battery never seems to run out on this.

I've been rescued...!!!!!

i am a headshaver and have been using the Sensor Excel for a while.It was cool but didn't cut as close as i would have liked and usually ended up using my electric razor to clean up what the Excel couldn't pick up. Then I tried the Headblade...!!! do yourself a favor and stay away from that one..!!!! COMPLETE BUTCHERY RIGHT THERE...!!!!!! I cut myself from the first day to the last (gave it a shot for about a month). after taking a extra month to heal, I finally decided to take a chance on the M3 and believe me I have been rescued..!!!! This tool is the BEST,the shave is smooth and quick and i havent cut myself once..!!! It shaves me so well that i dont even need to use my electric razor for clean-up purposes anymore!!! I especially love the vibrating action (which you CAN use in the shower)it feels as if you have the power of an eclectric razor in your hands. the only complaint that i have is that the lubricating strip on the blades don't last very long, which is a pain because the blades are not the cheapest price wise. aside from that i'd recommend this razor to any and everyone, ESPECIALLY head-shavers...!!!!

Good Idea but Bad Performance.

I shave once every two days and decided to try M3 Power Nitro (black). It attracted my attention by innovative idea of combining regular razor with electro-vibration, thus making a hybrid.

I'm not impressed with it at all! I don't like it for several reasons. Vibration actually is mostly reflected on a handle so I felt uncomfortable because it was making my hand too shaky and I'm 26 years old and not a drinker! It doesn't cause cuts or burns but it felt really annoying to my hand while shaving and even a few minutes later!

Due to a better lubricator-strip it glides better, softer than regular Mach3 but shaving performance is about the same. Handle grip is OK but a bit worse than regular Mach3 because it doesn't have fully rubberized handle bottom. It can be used with Mach3 cartridges, I tested and shaved. While shaving I was concerned about not getting wet its battery compartment.

I would rather use it as regular Mach3 razor, with vibration turned off, but would NOT buy another! Why pay more for a "fancy" but in fact useless/annoying vibration function if regular Mach3 does practically the same, if not better, job?!

Fabulous!

My boyfriend has this razor and I am going to steal it because it is amazing! As the previous reviewer described, no pain or cuts; the smoothest shave one can get! I'm not sure if they have a women's version, but it really doesn't matter because they are always the same-just pink (how stupid). I thought the vibration would be a problem but it works wonders!

A great product!

Closest shave ever

2005-10-27
Read the reviews here before using it. Eliminated the new blade honeymoon by using my 2 week old Mach3 blade on it for the first shave. I'll be damned if I didn't have the closest shave of my life.

Yeah it vibrates. Yeah it works better. Feels like I'm shaving with an electric. No resistance, no pain, no cuts. Awesome.

Since the Mach3 Turbo came out, I've found that the turbo blades lasted no where as long as the original Mach3s. There's no way in hell I'm gonna spend $20 for 6 M3 Power blades. I'll stick with the tried and true orignal Mach3s.

Can't comment on quality/durability as I've only used it once, but if it breaks in 3 months I'll definitely be buying another one.
