Mach 3 Turbo

[Buzzsurgeon]

How long can a Mach 3 Turbo blade last, just had a shower and needed a shave, went for the razer "#ollocks" that same old refill again that I keep forgetting to replace! Each shave becoming progressivly more painfull, as the blade half cuts through the brisstles then tears in off your face!!

cant help you except to snigger at your pain, i havnt had a wetshave for about 9yrs, i just get the nice lady at the hairshop to give me a crownlift with the electric shears every so often.

If you're talking about a manual razor, there should be a strip just above the blades which starts off blue, fades with use and you should change the blades when it turns white. Or just change the blades when it starts planing layers off your face...

With stubble like mine, they last about 2 shaves which is why I use a very old razor with standard Wilkinson Sword blades, or a grinding disc if I'm in a hurry

Or just change the blades when it starts planing layers off your face...

 

I'd go for this option, they're still sharp after those blue strips have gone! If i'm lucky I can get 2 months out of a blade

clippers and then a throw away one every once in a blue moon ya big girly:thumbup:

Haha I agree. You can also do the same thing with Best before dates on food! Huge safety margins implemented by corporations. Or should I say profit margins, buying replacements for things that don't need replacing!

 

Witness marks on chainsaw chains? Pah, I passed the witness mark 6 months ago

Get a cut-throat ya wuss, these new-fangled razors are for the girls bits:biggrin:

I shave in the shower and get at least a month out of a blade thats shaving every day.

The trick is when you do get around to putting the new blade in, Is to swap it back with the old blade so the girls dont get the benifit of the new blade grr.
