Hello

A silly name, but I have one and it actually shaves rather well.

The pulsing action stimulates hair upward and away from the skin, making it dramatically easier to shave more thoroughly in one easy power stroke.
This has been proven to be a lie. Gillette have been successfully sued for false advertising in the USA (and several other countries) about this claim. In those countries the adverts are worded differently, along the lines of 'it generates a pleasing sensation whilst shaving' etc etc.

They are no better at shaving than a Mach3/Turbo, just a (false) marketing gimmick.

Hello

Well, I still like it. But then I used to use those disposable things and this is much better.

Not me I get the mother in law to pick up my bleach/stain remover/carpet cleaner/washing up liquid/fabric softener(lenor)/washing powder(surf) etc from the Pound Shop on her weekly visit Either that or I only buy multisaves at asda

(Then spend the money I have saved on over priced lunches/shoes/bags/baby stuff )

Nope. Dove soap, Head and Shoulders, free moisturising cream, facemasks and waxing from my beautician friend, nivea roll on, a can of smelly stuff (impulse or the likes of) and a botle of baby oil to stop stretch marks. When I go out somewhere I indulge myself in a skoosh of either my Cerrutti, Chanel or Gucci perfume (bought from duty free). We don't all need to spend loads looking fab

(repeat spending saved money on lunches/bags/shoes and baby stuff )

The vibration of the Mach 3 Turbo makes me feel nausious to be honest. I have one but I use the old Mach 3 in preference.

got one of those. when you go on holiday at it's packed in the suitcase, it pays to take the batteries out, otherwise it keeps getting switched on and off and can sound very suspicious
