The 5 is a little more bulky and really cuts too close imho but i have numerous buddies using this 3 version and all have said it exceeds anything they have used. If you're the bushy-bearded type, you may be better off looking at our guide to the best beard trimmers – but for those of us who prefer the clean-shaven look, wet-shave razors simply offer the closest cut going.

Ok sorry. I suppose it is a personal opinion but yours is not shared with either the main collection of posts on here or friends who used the Hydro 3 when it was free trialed amongst the men who worked at my dept store. Skin guards helps smooth over the skin to prevent them from getting caught between the blades as they pass over the face. Until the 20th century, straight razors were pretty much the only option available for shaving – and while they've largely been superseded by safety and electric razors in bathroom cabinets, there remains a clan of hard-core traditionalists who use these attractive products. Straight razors take some skill to use, but get them right and they give the closest shave you can get.it poor or "not rated it very highly" as u put it. Clearly there is something wrong there. Everyone who has ever used a mach 3 correctly knows its perfectly usuable and good razor. Perhaps you are comparing all these against some top professional single blade shave in a barbers.....which is not really what the review is about. Just tried this Sensor this week, entirely based on what you guys are saying here. Available in Boots. Also I don't like the fact that Gillette has the audacity to market their Snowplough skinguard as a 'breakthrough feature' when a Tesco 2-blade disposable has a similar feature way before the Fusion cane out. Yah agree with the old Sensor. Cannot help but feel 2 blades probably reached the optimum between multi blade closeness and being able to weild the darn things properly. No closer really with 3 or 5 blades but like weilding a log for a load of wasted extra cash.

What I said is that your review was biased because you were not talking about subtle differences or a slight edge for a product. What you said was, and I quote you: Lymond thanks but gotta disagree regarding shave quality with the 3 when compared to the Fusion. Agreeing with some above, it really is quite exceptional, being smooth, even and burn free. I found it a staggeringly good shave. Maybe you are comparing against the Fusion poer version then?....where that would probably be an unfair comparison like for like. Inability to interchange with other model shaving heads (as a critisism)is probably the most stupid and unhelpful comment on here.

It may look like a standard Gillette razor, with its five super-thin razors and sleek design, but this razor is like no other on the market. Another of Jaye's favourites is this hybrid option from Wilkinson Sword. Unlike other wet shave razors, it boasts an electric trimmer for that designer stubble look. There are three settings for your desired length – although it's worth noting that the head is small, so using it can be a long process. The suspicion for me is that your review is just too extreme to be real.....or you had a damaged blade.

As for your paragraph about it not making sense, companies get it wrong all the time. I'm not suggesting that for every male, female, animal or lizard on earth Wilkinson has got it wrong, but FOR ME, they got it wrong, to the extent that their previous product was better. Case in point, look at the reception for MS Vista as an operating system compared to XP. Jaye recommends the Gillette Fusion ProGlide as an easy-to-use shaver that provides a smooth, precise shave with minimal fuss. I bet that now, even before I comment, you are thinking to yourself that maybe you went overboard with these comments. Right?

I then added the std Turbo mach 3 blades to it and these fitted and worked the same, which is an ok cost for a close shave without a large shaving head. Is the set up better than the Sensor? no i don't believe it is but Sensor excel blades are very hit and miss to get hold of now. No trimmer feature but easy to weild in tight spots, seems to clean out ok. better than a Mach 3 dunno not bad and cheaper and heavier Your response is typical of idiots and lonely people. The former are always the least likely to recognise that reasoning is not their forte, and because they hate being seen for what they are, they evade responding to simple arguments by hurling insults and accusations. The latter, are prone to emotional reasoning because any opposition to them is considered an invasion to their cyber sphere which is the only place they can feel that they matter.Nobody has ever said the mach 3 was a poor shave which will do me without extra expence. Couldn't get on with Hydro 5, leaves me sore. Due to being the first-to-market heated razor, the price is necessarily quite steep. And, unfortunately, you can't use other Gillette heads on this device, as it requires the tailored head with a heat strip. Even so, this is a remarkably sophisticated device, with two heating options to choose from (43 degrees and 50 degrees). If you're looking to add a little indulgence to your routine, this is a safe bet.
