For those that have used both, whats the difference between these and the standard Mach3 razors? Both from a design perspective and a user perspective

I am not an engineer, but from a design perspective they aren't any different that I can see, except that you can put a battery in it to have it vibrate which I don't see makes any difference. I use it w/out the battery and it is just like the standard. The only reason I purchased it was so my husband and I could both use the Mach 3 blades but keep our razors from getting mixed up in the shower. So his is grey/black and mine green and white.

As far as I can tell from the Google searches I conducted the biggest difference is in the faster speed the 790 cleans. I suppose this is important if there are multiple users to the razor. Apparently there was a bigger difference between the 60 and 90 prior to the updated 760-cc 4 currently being sold. Today Other than the cleaning speed the two razors appear to be mechanically identical spec wise.

Mach 3 blades fit fine. We ended up not using the handle that came with the kit because the razor my husband regularly uses fit fine in the arm and he also like straight razors over the more modern styles. Hope this helps!

Replacement blades are inexpensive for a mach 3? I had one, and I'd probably go through a blade every 10-14 days... at that rate, you're better off buying a new blade/foil kit for this razor 9-12 months or so.

Good evening Mr. Mitchell - This razor is considered more toward the mild side vs the aggressive side. Hope this helps!

My son is 7 and has had both. The regular Razor lasted a long time and suffered lots of abuse, but pieces started to fall off so I got him the Razor Pro a few months ago. It is built better, but as a consequence is heavier. My son is a lot bigger than the average 7 and has adjusted, but did comment at 1st at how heavy it is.

I haven't used the Feather Blades Nico, but I can tell you the Shark blades have worked out really well for me. I get a really close, comfortable shave from them and I have pretty tough facial hair. I'm also pretty surprised by how long they stay sharp. They certainly aren't one and done on the shaving. Also I shave my head with them and I haven't gotten any nicks or cuts from using them.

I have been using an electric razor for 30 years until recently. There is no doubt that the fusion performs better. In my opinion it is faster because I do it in the shower extremely quickly. Also, It gets the curly hairs that lay flat on my neck that were impossible to get with electric. I look way better and shaving this way just makes me feel better. It puts pep in my step. Also, face lotions and after shaves feel so much better after using a regular razor. Also, If I want I can go 2 days between shaves and I still think it's closer than electric after 1 day.

I think it's considered "safety" because of the rounded guard on top that keeps the blade angle near 30 degrees. This would be considered "safer" than the straight blade shave where the angle is MUCH harder to maintain and you are therefore much more likely to cut yourself. I shave with both and when I need a quicker shave, I go for the Merker safety razor. It only takes a few shaves to get used to it compared to the modern multi-blade (expensive) versions. I can shave just as quickly with it now as my old (expensive) Mach3 turbo. I still use my Feather artist club straight razor for the novelty of it, if I have time because it does take me longer with that. For me, the 3 razor styles mentioned ordered by speed of a nice, close shave would be: 1.) Modern (Mach3Turbo) 2.) Merker (safety) 3.) Feather straight razor. The fastest is clearly much more expensive though (blades). Being somewhat proficient with all 3 styles, I'd easily say this safety razor is my go-to daily razor for price, and speed. Closeness is not a factor because I can achieve a close shave with any of them. It's just a matter of how quickly I can do it. I don't care who you are, a straight razor across your adams-apple WILL make you slow down. LOL The shorter handle here took some getting used to but it really isn't an issue. It's just different. And cleaning these is MUCH easier than the multiblade ones. Hope this helps, and good luck. I don't think you can go wrong with this one.

This is the manual. It is expensive but I have yet to find a blade that shaves as close or as comfortable as this one. I have been shaving for over 50 yrs. i have never een the need to try the. " power " model.

You'd be better off with the razor series probably the 500 or 650. It's battery powered less expensive and easier to ride and maintain

I can't tell you which is the best as I haven't tried them all. I'm on my second NORELCO Speed razor in 20 years. I do know that it shaves great, you can go about a month without recharging, and it lasts damn near forever. Can't go wrong buying this razor.

Yes I have been using both. No problem. Just blow out the razor before you clean it to prolong the use.

Wow...tough question. i am scott, account in my wife's name. was able to get this at a great price as the three d versions are everywhere and i wanted the cleaning base. go to the Phillips site and you can view all the models. Costco has a great price on a 3d model with no cleaner also. My face is more round than angular and i also read the 2d is better for my kind of face. Plus i can always replace the razor head with a 3d after a year. I was a wet shaver and used an old school saftey razor. That said, i couldnt be happier. sorry for the delayed response. scott

The detailed is smaller and a little wider. The detailer has a rotary motor. I've owned a the detailer but I didn't not like it although many people love it. I'm considering trying the razor edger.

The shaver works either way, but plugged in it seems to have a little more power. I switched to Braun after being a norelco rotary user for years but it was not cutting my neck hairs and the cutter heads were too expensive. You get a carrying case, little cleaning brush, a little bottle of oil, the cord, and the operating instructions. A very good razor for the money!!

This razor is a much better razor than the double or quintuple bladed kind both in terms of cost and quality of shave. this is especially true if you use a shaving brush and shaving soap, these will improve the glide and decrease irritation, this decrease in irritation will result in fewer problems for the skin. It must be noted that at first there is some learning curve and some small cuts are possible, but with attention and experience you will be able to avoid all these issues. I would never return to cartridge shaving, this is cheaper and better.
