I'll check it out. It took a couple of shaves to figure out my hair growth patterns but this last shave was damn good.

Thanks for the info.
We did some research and reviews, and got what we got. We got the carbonized as well. I cannot stand vertical bamboo, so we got horizontal. Seems like it is really dense, but who knows it is easily scratch-able on a surface.

Get yourself one of those sample packs on Amazon that have a 5 pack from like 10 different manufacturers. Use one for a couple days then switch brands. Growth pattern, hair thickness and stiffness, and skin sensitivity all play a role in what blade is right for you, and the only way to find out it by trial and error.

I once used the same Mach3 for two years. Yeah, 24 months. No typo. You don't have to throw them away every time and the same principles apply to the disposables for the most part as do regular straight razors. Use it a few times and when you can feel it start to not cut cleanly simply go opposite direction on the inside of your forearm like 6-7 times and it will be honed back to a near-new edge again. Try it. I was amazed at how well it works. I don't go as long now because after about a year (give or take) I would get an occasional in-grown hair on my neck which I otherwise never get so I shortened my replacement interval. Getting a few months out of a disposable razor blade is pretty easy actually.

I go months at a time with razors as well.
