i use the electric one, its the orange one, the regular is blue i think, anyways, its a great razor and it flexes very well. i really enjoy the detail blade on the back, with the mach turbo razor of theres i could never get my side burns compltly even or right under my nose, but with the detail blade i can. one draw back though, after i shave with it, it seems as if my beard goes into super growth and seem to come back in faster than with the mach 3, also, the 4 pack of razors for the electric is 20 something bucks,am not sure how much the regular blades are. a little pricey. other than that, i highly recomend this razor, enjoy

The Quattro clogged too easily for me; I assume the Fusion's tighter array of blades would do the same. Mach 3 [Turbo] allows me to shave quickly and cleanly, rinsing the blade less often, and $18 gets an 8 pack, which seems a bit better than the $20-something 4-pack brassplayersrock mentioned.

I'm slightly intrigued by the detail blade, though, and might get a pack of disposables for that purpose next time I'm at Costco.

There was a thread about it here a little while ago. Everyone that has one seems to love it and can feel and see an advantage.

I prefer an electric razor. Has always seemed easier.

El-cheapo razors do the trick for me. I've only cut myself once. Of course my facial hair isn't thick so maybe thats why the cheap ones work well for me.

I use the regular fusion-- It works great for me, much closer than my old shick quatro. I didn't relaly think the new precision trimmer blade thing was really that effective though.
