Mach3 is nearly half the price for very similar results. That decides it for me.

My first thought too
I've been using the Mach 3 for quite a while, I got a Fusion 5 proshield limited edition today. I've had no problems with the Mach 3, but the proshield has an extra blade on the back for styling and making nice and sharp edges. It's pretty much the only reason I got it.
From personal experience Gillette peaked with the Mach 3 Turbo. It shaves just as good as the Fusion does, it's easier to clean out and the blades are cheaper and last just as long. Before that the Sensor Excel and Atra Plus also worked just fine. Adding more and more blades is a sales gimmick that worked for cartridge razors until the blade count became ridiculous. They have 6 blade razors now and you just don't need that many.

Question? I have an extraordinary thick beard. I struggle to get a clean shave usually shaving the same spot three or four times.Can you suggest a razor and blades?
very well done comparison! just purchased a gillette fusion power razor. curios what to expect. thank you.
Seemed to me the Fusion 5 didn't cut as much in a single stroke. I noticed it was a much cleaner initial cut on the Mach 3 Turbo while the Fusion 5 required more strokes over an area to get it.
Which one would go for? Me myslef i am thinking about buying the gillette razor in this video buy i am a little unsure
James, I'm an avid follower of your reviews. I've actually bought many items as the result of your recommendations. Today I bought a Gillette Fusion 5 SKIN-GUARD POWER© razor and when I saw you reviewed the Proshield, I had to watch. You should review the Skin-Guard on the Power© handle. Best shave I've EVER had! The Skin-Guard cartridge only has two blades, with the skin-guard flat piece in the middle. You can't even feel the blade when you're shaving. I actually had to touch my face to check for stubble. It was perfectly smooth. Thanks for your channel.
Very nice man! Really cleaned up that appearance. Nice and clean now. A very sufficient scientific like comparison. Thank you.
8:34 that’s what I liked using this multi blades razor with the trimmer on the back for tricky area of sideburns, mustache, and 🧔🏻.
Hi James as a women I prefer the Mach 3 even against any of the women razors it out lasts everything else and doesn’t nick me even if I’m in a hurry. I’ve been using it for years and still love it thank you for sharing 😊👍❤️
Wow! You look so different! I'll have to show your review to my husband. Thanks! I drove through Indy on Friday. Happy 4th! 🇺🇸🇺🇸 ~ Cathy
I have used both for very long time, shaving almost every day cuz I my job required it. Both are equally good, they deliver the same results. The Fusion is perhaps more comfy to use, but the difference in price doesn't justifies it.
I use the turbo 3 works very well face and head. I didn't try the 5 blade just yet but I will soon also I got other razor I just got for Christmas so can't wait to use that but so far 3 blades doing very well Indeed. Great review. Love and Peace.
thanks for this review ! what a commitment ! you look great sans full beard too !

Is the fusion 5 proglide power a better closer shave than the non power model ? Thanks
I use both Mach 3 and Fusion Proglide they're both good. I only use the Mach 3 for only quick shaving, and I use my Fusion Proglide to get a more pro shave.
I have the Fusion 5 and was wondering if there was another that would be better, but didn't know if I should have tried something else, and was looking into trying the Mach 3, but you just answered my question. So I'm sticking with my Fusion 5. Thank you for your example and advice, it really did help me.

Which one is better for regular shaving purpose Gillette mach 3 turbo or Gillette fusion proglide? Kindly suggest😊
When I started wet shaving, I used a Mach 3 Turbo and did for years then tried the original fusion as an alternative and found it to be a bit More comfortable but found it to miss some places just under the jaw area that The Mach 3 did with ease, so went back to a Mach 3 Turbo. Then I decided to give the Fusion another go when the flexball version came out and although it still suffers that same issue as the original under my jaw, I find that by going a few different directions, that I can overcome that issue but I definitely feel way more comfortable shaving with the Fusion with flexball than a Mach 3 and feel it gets a touch closer. I'd not go back to the Mach 3 now.

Freakin' Reviews I think you can cut yourself more easily with the Fusion than the Mach 3, in my experience I've found it, mostly when I switched to the 5 blade from the 3. Both are great razor's though. I'd use a Mach 3 again but not as my daily razor.
U had an awesome looking beard and goatee gone in no time flat LOL great video
The half beard looked cool. A lot of attitude behind it. Lol
What do you do if you get a run battery in one of those?
The gillette fusion proshield is always with batteries or there is without batteries?
You're a real pro, shaving off your face hair for this review. I like the new look.
Great review brod...special when you fly hhhh 👍
Great review and much respect for sacrificing your beard and mustache. I use fusion 5 and I have noticed that even though is much more expensive the blades can last me up to 2 months easily without doing any razor bumps and match 3 won't last more than a few weeks and I need to replace after. Also the vibration does make a difference for me as I get irritation without it. Again that's just on me people is entitle to their opinions just wanted to help adding some observations from my experience with both.

With that comment, I MUST one day try Mach-3, just to see how well it shaves and just to see how many shaves-worth I can make a cartridge last.
I usually shave with proshield . just got the mach 3 today. Im so nervous hope its smooth since I got sensitive skin.but I do hate how proshield gets clogged
Im 22 and i havnt been much of a shaver.ive had a bad experience with shaving as i didnt think spending money on shaving products really mattered. I usually just use an electric shaver and keep my stubble. My gf just bought me the gillete fusion proglide with the gillete sensitive + skincare and i have to say gilletes new technology really takes the lead in the shaving world. Spending money on the top gillete products really shows how quality over takes quantity. it was the fastest shave and by far the most comfortable ive had. It took me 30 seconds to finish my entire face and i barely had to go over any spots. Most importantly i didnt end up with any red irritation marks on my lower neck wich i always came across with previous shavers. 10/10 for me and hands down and the fusion PROGLIDE is my favorite shaver so far.

What Trimmer did you use in the before you shaved? 🤔
Do pharmacies have to consult with Gillette before putting their razors on a much lower than normal sale price, like if they decided to sell them for six dollars compareed to 22?
Thanks man! that was very useful
I think this channel will take off. Keep up the good work.
I am using proglide power and the blade lasts for 4 months. The vibration makes it smooth for hard beard. I got very clear skin after every shave because of vibration. The Mac 3 is good and degrade the quality of shave as the blade gets older. Proglide power is better for me.
For all of you that love the Fusion other than the "trimmer" blade on the backside (I personally hate it and have cut my nose with it too many times when shaving above my lip) Gillette has a line out for the ladies called"Joy" and they are the same 5 blade cartridges minus the "trimmer" blade and MUCH less expensive than the regular "Fusion" cartridges (YES the "Joy" cartridges DO fit the Fusion handles)
Heisenberg
Nice vid man! U look like Stone Cold Steve Austin with the Goatee😅
for the head try the stronger SE Gem blade razors. less razor blade bounce and amazing sounding feedback with little to no clogging with the right razor.
Can we use it without shaving cream? Or how much one razor take days for changing

This video came up as a KZread recommendation. I use a Mach 3 occasionally but for the most part use a double edge razor. The benefits a lot cheaper 100 blades for $10, less irritation and no plastic to go into the landfill. Give it a go you won’t regret it

Two advantages of cartridge razors of all sorts are (1) When traveling, and (2) for head shaves if done frequently enough. I generally prefer traditional double edge razors, at least for face shaves.
Awesome review !!!!
Great videos James, really enjoy your honest approach, in my humble opinion, you are Awesome!!!
Great review!
I kinda liked that intermediate, pre-goatee look but I understand it can be considered weird. One question, is the mach 3 turbo made of metal or just chromed plastic? I got the mach 3 body (sorry for living in the 2-blade world) and I liked it, but kinda wish the handle was more substantial. I will try the Fusion soon, thanks for the inspiring comparison.

First of all I would love to meet you You are totally cool and you actually taught me how to shave. For me, the pro glide power works best. Like you I do have a thick tough beard so I have to change my blade a little more often. Any thoughts on that?
Clogging is the spoiler of blade shaving your head. Was gonna try the Proshield for headshaving, but based on this video, I think not.

Jasper Jones dude im relatively new to headshaving i have only been doing it for about 6 or 8 weeks and i also had NEVER used a manual razor in my 15 years of shaving. Dude. The clogging of the blades on the fusion is absolutely killer, it actually doubles the time it takes me to shave. Being a new head shaver it takes me close to 45 mins (about every 4 days) and half of that is trying to unclog the blades, its actually immensely frustrating. I have a mach 3 turbo that i ordered on the way as we speak. If clogging bothers you, the fusion is a no go for headshaving
Very nice video bro:-)
Great shave! Which one do you use more prominently now? I find the Mach 3 Turbo is the better choice. Even over the original Mach 3.

It's been a month now, and I still use the Proshield Power the most. I just bought some refills for it, which are insanely expensive by the way! But the first blade lasted me about a month, so that should be factored into the cost. I feel ready to shift back to a safety razor for a while, though.

I think the fusion 5 pro shield power because the battery is great it shaves real smooth and it has more blades so that you can get a better shaving experience. with the mach 3 turbo I don’t think it deserves to be called the turbo because it doesn’t shave as nice as the fusion 5 and also you cannot use it to shave thick beards because the blades are not as far as the fusion 5 there is one thing that the mach 3 turbo can do better than the fusion 5 and that is that the blades don’t clog up as much so you can shave longer but other than that I don’t think this is ready for prime time. @Freakin’ Reviews I’m sorry but I don’t like the mach 3 turbo that much

The Mach 3 Turbo has a power handle option, too! The Mach 3 Turbo Power! I use the Mach 3 Turbo Power version. Why didn’t you use the power handle version of the Mach 3 Turbo to make this a more fairer comparison with the Fusion Pro Shield Power?
Good test comparison, thanks man. And, btw, "Road to Hana" = da kine, brah! That's a beautiful drive! BTW, it's been 5 years since you posted this vid so you may have already moved on to newer razors. I used the Mach 3 (both with and without the power feature) and the Fusion 4 but the 4-blade replacements aren't as readily available or as inexpensive as the newer 5-blade replacements which I now use and which also fit the Fusion 4 handle. Both the 4- and 5-blade razors - for me - provide a significantly better, closer shave than the 3-blade model. But, be careful about where you buy your replacement blades. Some IMHO are counterfeits and are nowhere as good as genuine Gillette. Interesting note, my older sis went to high school with Nancy Gillette - yep, the one and the same Gillette family.
I still have my Mach 3 vibrating power handle and it still works. Too bad you cannot find these handle, any longer!
Wow, I've never had the urge to watch someone shave their face before. Good vid. I have extremely thick Italian horsehair on my face and could hardly believe you did so much without hitting your skin with a hot towel. In fact, if you have sensitive skin, you ought to try shaving with a towel or right after a hot shower. I used a two-blader until my 20's and was enchanted the first time I used the Mach 3. Turned a 30-minute shave to a 5-minute shave. Wanted to see if 5-blade was worth it. (Doesn't seem so.)
Fusion is superior, love that Flexball! But the refills are also more expensive.
