Yes, it does cost more to keep buying Mach 3 blades instead of buying Xtreme IIIs, but I rather pay a little more for such a high quality shave w/ the Mach 3 then butcher my head w/ something that is cheaper. And in truth, you aren’t saving much money w/ the Xtreme III compared to the Mach 3. My contacts are disposable & still have the same quality as non-disposable. Yes, I know it is disposable & will sacrifice quality, but it still is low quality in my opinon to what a disposable razor should be. It was just thrown together with 3 blades. One can tell that the Xtreme III wasn’t built & developed with such time, care, & money like the Mach 3. And the Xtreme III shave is pretty painful compared to the Mach 3. Washing out hair is a chore due to how close the razor blades are. Not as much comfort padding as on Gillette razors, but the shape of the handle is better then the Mach 3, thus giving you more control. One thing I did like was the handle shape. There are no really hi-tech features on the Xtreme III that are found on the Mach 3 or other high quality razors. It doesn’t have nearly the protection as the Mach 3 or Sensor, and isn’t as sharp of course. However, it feels like shaving with a disposable razor because that is what it is. It can do the job in 1-2 strokes, like the before mentioned Mach 3 & Sensor. I have tried their Protector & Tracer and to shave smooth like the Mach 3 and Gillette Sensor do in one to two strokes over the area, the Protector & Tracer does the job in 3-4 strokes or more. Great ideas, but not developed to the best of their ability. And as always in my opinion, Schick is behind. This is Schick’s new baby…their attempt at competing with the already legendary Gillette Mach 3. I’ve been fortunate enough to receive 2 reviews from readers about this product. Still, it’s definitely the best disposable razor I’ve used, and would function well as a regular-use razor if required. I’m also not entirely comfortable using disposables regularly, as it seems a waste to throw away the entire thing when you’re done, as opposed to just throwing away a blade. The initial investment is lower, but Mach 3’s blades are cheaper per use than a new pack of Extreme III disposables. Price-wise, I don’t see much advantage to the Extreme III compared to the Mach 3. I did tend to cut myself a bit more with the Extreme III though. At first it looked like it might be a little flimsy, but I didn’t have any problems using it at all.Īs I said earlier, the shave was comfortable, and skin irritation levels were almost as low as the Mach 3. It’s the most substantial handle of any disposable razor I’ve used, but it’s definitely lightweight when compared to the Mach 3 handle. They also tended to gunk up a bit more than the Mach 3 blades, but they aren’t hard to clean out. They didn’t seem as durable as the Mach 3 blades to me, but for a disposable razor they’re fine. The blades on the Extreme III are pretty good, and I felt the shave I got was close and comfortable. It’s primary competition in the shaving market is the Gillette Mach 3, so most of my comparisons will be between those two blades. The commercials I’ve seen show tennis player Andre Agassi shaving his face and head, which is nice. The Schick Extreme III has been marketed based on two primary qualities: it’s a three blade razor, and it’s conveniently disposable.
