Had almost deduced that a small stubble would remain inspite of a double shave with a sensor excel. Being gifted a Mach3, was a fantastic blessing. Starting from the metallic grip with rubber moulding to provide a fantastic grip, to the triple blades, the fins for raising the beard and the aloe strip, the Mach 3 gives a fantastic shave. Add to that that being a triple blade cartridge, the cartridge lasts for a much longer period. Was sounding more like a gillette salesperson till now, but a small thing like a plastic (poor quality!!) holder for the razor does away with the quality one would expect for the price paid for it, this especialy if the razor remains in the tote bag for a frequent traveller. Also though nothing can be done about the price of the cartridges since that is the revenue generator for razor manufacturers, would appreciate if the price for a cartridge was marginally lower. All in all, gives a good shave.
