    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.

    mach three turbo is the best razor i have ever used, even better than the regular mach three, and yes it will fit the old mach three handle.

    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.

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

    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.
