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. You will appreciate the tiny little details that went into the design of those razors.The Schick Extreme III has been marketed based on two primary qualities: it’s a three blade razor, and it’s conveniently disposable.
