I chose it because I personally liked the way that the head moved compared to the Hydro 3, and it did not leave a lot if any hydrating gel on my face. So overall they both did pretty well, but personally I would have to give it to the Mach 3.
I had some trouble with this one, as I felt that I needed to push down somewhat to get the head to begin to pivot and move around some of the curves of my face, while the Mach 3 I did not have to push or do anything at all to get the head to pivot. The Hydro 3 has where pivoting action moves along a circular track. The head pivoted very easily as I was moving it along my face. Head Movement: The pivot point on the Mach 3 is down near the bottom of the cartridge. But that is what I felt after doing a pass with each razor. Though personally, as long as the soap/cream is doing its job I don't think that it should matter. While the Mach 3 you could not feel much if any hydration. It was enough to where you could take your fingers and feel/see gel come off your face in a small string. Personally, I though that the Hydro 3 had a little too much of the hydrating gel. Hydration: By far without a doubt the Hydro 3 had much more than the Mach 3. But to me they were so close that there is the possibility that they were pretty much the same. Afterwards though, subsequent passes were really smooth with the Hydro I believe being smoother since it has more hydration gel in the hydrating pad.Ĭloseness: At the end of the first pass I felt like maybe the Mach 3 had gotten just ever so slightly closer than the Hydro 3.

Smoothness: When they both first touch my skin and cut for the first time, there was barely a slight tug from the Mach 3 and a tug that was mostly the same but slightly more noticeable from the Hydro 3. For my shaving cream I used Old Spice Original with the Omega 10066 Boar Hair brush.So here is how each razor stacks up to one another: I shaved one half of my face with each razor. I just finished doing a shave with the Mach 3 and Hydro 3, so they will be first up. Then Finally for 2 blades I bought the Gillette Sensor 2 and the Schick ST2 disposable razors. I bought the Schick Xtreme 3 disposable razor that I will either pair up with the Gillette Sensor 3 or Sensor 3 simple (which style would you guys recommend?). So I went to my local stores and bought the basic Gillette Mach 3 and Schick Hydro 3 replaceable cartridge razors. These scenarios being where maybe I might be in a rush or I have traveled using a transportation method where I can't bring my DE blades onto the vehicle. But, I recently began thinking of where there might be scenarios where I can not use my trusty DE razors. It has been over a year or more since I have shaved with a cartridge razor. I love shaving with my DE razors and never plan on switching back to using cartridge exclusively. Yes the Merkur 34C is a good starter.This is my first forum thread here, so forgive me if I possibly have this in the wrong area/section.įirst, a little information about the situation. I discovered the Merkur 23C (Long Handled Version), switched to Safety Razors and have not looked back. I primarily used the Gillette Sensor Excel for 20+ years. Once your are confident with your razor, then start trying new blades and product variables. Then stick with just that one for a while until you get your technique down (there are lots of Youtubers to reference when learning). The best thing to do is pick a good middle ground recommended one (I like Astra Superior Platinum, Voskhod Teflon Coated, and Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless (Green Pack)). You are right there are many DE blades to choose from. On the higher end a Feather Blade may cost you about $0.20 for some it may last 3 shaves, but for me shaving daily I can get 7+ good shaves.
how thick your hair is, how often you shave, blade brand, etc. You will see the term "Your Mileage May Vary" (YMMV) thrown around because it really depends on many variables i.e. Most DE blades will last at least 3-7 shaves. So you would need to change the direction of you pass. In regards to your neck the hairs will normally grow a different direction than on your face.
