Does anyone know if the new Mach III Turbo blades will fit on the old Mach III (non-turbo) handle?

Mach III TURBO? WE're all still on the original Mach III over here. I guess the Turbo hasn't flown in from the States yet, but the standard III get my vote.

Something's screwed up and won't let me vote, but Mach 3 turbo does the trick.
I shave against the grain on all parts of the face, and Mach 3 is the only one I can use without irritation

To follow up, I bought both the Mach 3 turbo and Schick Extreme 3. The Mach 3 Turbo wins! Closer shave, more comfortable shave, faster, less nicks.

Mach 3 Turbo is great! Gonna Stock up on blades as Sam's Club!

I have been using this new shave gel that's pretty good. It's by Neutrogena and has extra protectants for cuts and razor burn/bumps.

Definitely Mach III. My only complaint is how quickly they dull.

the turbos fit the original mach, and yes by far this is the best razor on earth, I ve used them since they came out, I have had to use others a few times but nothing compares, it fact the turbo didnt perform as well.

Best shave cream...Aveda for men. Can't get the shit at the grocery store, though. Gotta go to the mall.

Mach 3 turbo, only complaint, they are pricy
that new old spice gel seemed to work pretty good 2

mach 3 turbo/ upper body
venus/ legs....they are both pricey, but the best deals are at Sam's Club or Cosco..some store like that. then a non-alcohol aftershave lotion or jergens shave minimize

=============================

Yah, I'm using a straight razor . . . learned how to strop it & etc. Takes some practice to get it right, but it works remarkably well. Secret to making it work is the process . . . takes a bit of effort to learn to do it right, though. Preparing the skin with lots of moist heat, using the right shaving creams (the "good stuff" costs more, but is worth it), using 100% real badger hair shaving brushes, working the lather into the beard, shaving with the grain, using shaving balm afterwards instead of stuff laden with alcohol.
I ought to give lessons in this stuff . . .

Hands down, the best shaving cream (as opposed to "shaving soap") is Geo F Trumper's stuff. Comes in 6 'flavors'
Rose scent - for sensitive skin
Violet - for sensitive skin
Coconut - for sensitive to normal skin
Almond - for normal to dry skin
Lime - for normal to oily skin
Sandalwood - for normal skin

This is high quality stuff, retails for around $20 for a 2.5 ounce tube (might get it for less on eBay). But a little bit goes a long way; put a half-inch squeeze of this stuff in the center of a wet badger shaving brush (badger brushes work best), stroke the brush over your wet skin, and it generates an amazing amount of lather. And it's got stuff to form a protective barrier between razor and skin.
This is the good stuff . . .

All Mach 3's can lick my sweaty pouch! Sensor Excel is the best one...the M3's head is too damn big so you can't get the upper lip area very well.

Guys I hate to say it, I love the Mach III, but I swear to god, try the women Venus razor on your face. It works far better than the MACH III, and lasts longer.

I just used the mach 3 turbo today, and WOW!

It's even better than the regular mach 3!

gillette mach 3 hands down... been using it for 4 years now since it came out and i shave with NO GEL in the shower with NO cuts or harsh abrasions and i've got EXTREMELY sensitive skin

started using the turbo about 5 months ago and didn't notice too much difference except the razor seems to last a bit longer, and going against the grain is slightly easier

but year i go against the grain under my damn nose, under my chin, anywhere and no knicks, scratches or anything!!!

i use old spice aftershave, burns like hell but smells good and leaves my skin super soft... me and the gf really like it :)
also very easy to trim gotee and mustache with too; since i can get out of the shower and look into a mirror with my face still hot and still trim with NO cuts still!!! :)

people look at me funny when i tell them i use no shaving gel at all...

--dnb

ha ha, it sounds like a car forum now. i feel the compression ratio in the naturally aspirated mach III is much better than the turbo model. ha ha.
but seriously, mach III definitely has my vote. I've used that Venus and I can't hold onto the damned thing.

Gillette Mach 3 Turbo.

Having a razor with two or more movable blades is good. It help prevents razor burn.
