This might be a bit retarded.

[Commie]

Here goes.

Gilette has recently put forth a new product here in sweden, their new razor M3 which is batterydriven. My dad just bought one and all it seems to do is vibrate a little bit.

Is there any kind of scientific evidence that the it actually helps your shaving. Exactly what does it do?

I checked out the design and it seems like the vibration connects to the razorblade but does it help anything. I would like to see some thirdparty science on this subject, since i wouldn't trust gilettes own scientific data.

Altough i remebered seeing this british tv-show about guys trying to improve different inventions. And one of their ideas was a razorblade exactly like the M3 design. But they couldn't get it to work because the vibrations wasn't fast enough or something to tune in with the actually razors.

So what do you think?

Revolutionary new shaving system

or

Junk just to get people to buy new shaving tools that are more expensive and more dangerous to the enviroment.

Post your opinion and if you can find some scientific data on the subject.

I have searched but havn't been able to find any.

:roll:

[Howie Kaluha]

I have one. I like it, but I can't prove that the vibration does anything different. It does feel good on my face though woot woot

[Initiative]

I have one. The idea is that it makes the hair "stand up" so it's easier to cut.

[Gauntlet]

I do agree that a vibrating razor sounds really retarded. The vibration is supposed to make hairs stand up? I just find that BS.

[von_Moo142]

Theres a new shaving "innovation" every year or so, but I still manage to shave with a normal razor without any problems. It's usually just marketing hype.

[Nawlins]

I think it's just a ploy to get you to pay twice as much for a razor. I'd stick with the plain old M3.

[Seoulstriker]

I used an M3 for about 2 years or so. It's a great razor, but you need to use extra effort get against the fine grain which is flush with the side of the face. I'd imagine that the vibration action is similar to what the effect in electric razors. I've been using an electric razor for a few months now, and I notice that if you rub your face or somehow stimulate your face, the hairs will stick up or get more tensile. It's easier to shave when doing that.

I don't think it's a gimmick, or it wouldn't succeed in the market. Why spend more money if it doesn't do anything?

[usa320]

i use a Braun electric razor. I dont feel like ****ing around with shaving cream and **** in the morning. Electrics are so much easier to use.

[disabled1]

teh mach 3 is a good razor overall but i dodnt get all these new models coming out, i mean mach 3 mach 3 turbo mach 3 turbo turbo electric shocking vibrating bull **** deal. what ever happened to a razor being a razor. i use the regular mach 3 and have been doing so since it as introduced a few years ago. its a good razr, why improve something that isnt broke. also why do they make the refills so expensive an electric razor would be a hell of oalot cheaper than having to buy 20 cartridges for 30 dollars(american) and having them dull in 2 uses. jeeze..now that i see that im going to by me an electric razor on payday

[Khabbi]

Im thinking about getting one of those old school razors , u know the single blade kind ?

[Freibier]

Im thinking about getting one of those old school razors , u know the single blade kind ?
I have one of those from my grandfather and use it only when I run out of razorblades for my other razors - the blood toll is just too high :oops:

[Sir Zach of R.]

I've shaved with a bowie knife before. :lol:

[Freibier]

I've shaved with a bowie knife before. :lol:
Not much to shave, eh? :lol:


j/k ;)

[<Gypsum Fantastic>]

I've got one. It doesn't make much difference. But when you shave without the vibration it seems really sstrange!

[EffJi]

I really like shaving knives (the large single bladed ones).
If you think about it, they're like life in a really bad neighborhood: you mess up, you're dead!
*rimshot*

It's like this thing, Wilkinson Quattro.

OMG IT HAS 4 BLADES WHICH MAKE NO DIFFERENCE!!!!11one!!

[Uncle Sam]

Or just use what I use...A sharp rock I found in the yard! I'm hard like that! :lol:

[Commie]

I go special ops and don't shave at all.

[Redux]

i thought they shave with knives

[Eat a bullet]

A razor hasn't touched my face in a year. :P

[DarkCypher]

I just use the old basic 2 blade razor when I'm in the shower, saves shaving cream and time.

[usm2b]

I love my Gillette M3 power razor, now. I'll admit the first time I used it I brought my phone in the bathroom just incase I cut my throat open and needed to call 911.

[Jack Mehoff]

this is what i use every day

[Durandal]

Just another thing to get Americans to spend more money...

Suckers.

[GeraldDuval]

I used to shave with a straight razor with horse hair brush and disk soap...but I was finally forced to welcome technology and now I use this:

Agreed.....

It just goes to prove if you can sell a bag of poop for a dollar, you can sell a bag of poop tied up with a bow and ribbon for $10, $20 if you write "Organic" on it ;)

[Durandal]

Agreed.....

And $40 if its got " for a limited time only", "collector's edition", or "limited edition" in small type on the bag.

:D

[Stormy]

And $50 if it has a futuristic green stripe on it. $70 if it is advertised on TV when the guy who buys the bag of poop miraculously picks up seventeen point five hot chicks.

Thats what I have. The 4 blades make a small difference but nothing special.
I like the pivoting head, thats very nice.

[Oddbod]

Over the past 20+ years I've saved a fortune on razors.


I grew a beard :P

[Lestat]

all i can say is buy a cut throat razor once you learn to use one they are fantastic but a small tip for learning practice on a balloon first lol otherwise you might be needing some stitches lol

[kayaker]

Love to get a signle blade long shaving knife BUT how difficult is it to shave with one? And as I dont have much tim ein the mornings i guess its better to stick with the disposies?

[Shadow]

I do agree that a vibrating razor sounds really retarded. The vibration is supposed to make hairs stand up? I just find that BS.

The says that it has somthing to do with electricity and the metal razors.
My 2 bladed Razor works fine for me.

Then why don't they work with the static electricity than this vibration that can easily be mistaken as a *** toy?

Their advertising says that those razors produce some kind of "static field" but I doubt that this is strong enough to erect those thick strong hairs.
Vibrating razors are as useless as the popes balls imho.

or... make it pink, and charge more, because women will pay more for the exact same product. :roll: (not all women.... )

[Miles.]

Gillette sent me a razor for my 18th birthday. and I still use it.

after a full year, i have yet to spend money on a razor.
