Wahl Fine Cutting Blade for Envoy Clipper

Advantages: good shave, last well, and all the other things I say in the opinion
Disadvantages: expensive

...I have sensitive skin and therefore alternate between wet and dry (electric) shaving. Wet shaving has often been a problem for me, I tend to cut very easily and also get a rash from wet shaving. I am left with two choices; either grow a beard (not for me) or alternate between wet and dry shaving. I first bought the Gillette mach 3 when I needed a new razor. I tend to try new ones in the hope that one day I will find a razor that will be better than anything I have tried in the past does. To be honest I could not see how three blades could be better than two, once the beard has gone it has gone. I am happy to be able to report that although these are expensive the results really are well worth it. I compliment these blades by using a shaving gel rather than the ordinary foam. The gel tends to assist in moisturising the beard... Read review

Advantages: Excellent close shave.
Disadvantages: Bulky, and expensive blade replacement.

...last? – this is a good technical question as the blades can be rather expensive. I personally shave 1-2 times a day with this and a single blade can last me 3-4 weeks before I feel it starting to scrape rather than cut. But, the cooling strip has long since worn out and is no longer effective making me wonder if I should change more frequently. On the plus side, when you do change that blade you really can feel the difference on your face the new blades have. I have had my razor for over one year now and still have not changed the batteries so no need to worry on that account. All in all an excellent razor, a little bulky for fine detail work and probably not really viable with people who have a lot of facial hair as it is hard to see where the blades start / stop when shaving....

Advantages: Close shave - easy to grip - each blade lasts a few weeks
Disadvantages: expensive to buy replacement blades

...of ridges that making holding it with or without wet hands a breeze. The blades are attached to the end and hey presto, you are ready to shave. What sets the Mach 3 Turbo apart from others in my opinion is the sharpness of the 3 blades that sit in rows across the razor head - they stay sharp for weeks and the moisurising strip that lifts hair before the razor cuts whilst at the same time leaving a fine layer of cream that sooths - It's as though the razor just glides through my beard and I rarely cut myself unless I am really clumsy and have my attention drawn away to other things. Mach 3 Turbo gives me a close shave, doesn't cut my face to bits and the blades last a long time. Even though replacement blades are expensive they are well worth the money and are the best out there. I have just upgraded to the Mach 3 M3 Power Nitro (the... Read review
