I've got an import one of those, and its faster and lighter
with a very trick swivel head on it, instead of the fixed head version you get here! and its cheaper too!

Hey what about us n/a Mach3 owners. After all it's still a Mach3 if not a turbo, you turbo guys are obsessed with speed- don't forget they are all Gillette's and this forum is for us N/A owners too.

Dont forget us non Gillete owners as well.

My Wilkinson Sword protector 3d diamond is superb, and can easily keep up with you Gillete oweners on the meets. The name is nearly as long as the Impreza V5 Type RA V-Ltd as well

mines a bic but... I have a full MAX POWER handle kit with blade conversion, sparco designed grip shaft, MOMO lookalike brushed chrome head unit, full - faux leather holder(with plenty of manufactures stickers for the full effect), clear plastic side strips on the MOMO lookalike brushed chrome head unit and it will shave 0-60 hairs in about 12 seconds (in the wet!!!!!! [not so good in the dry, I'm told this is not a defect on models over 12 years old]) the best part is I get third party for only £1850, now who's looking smoooove?

Some %$#&"! just ripped the head off mine to stick on his poxy bic. Is nothing sacred from those thieves who can't be bothered to work hard and pay for something?

Now I've fitted a replacement head and am getting blade judder. Is this fixable under warranty?
