Comments on: Matrix3 a HellRazor? http://www.theyellowmarker.org/blog/2006/12/02/matrix3-a-hellrazor/ [YAWB] Wed, 23 Jul 2008 22:03:26 +0000 hourly 1 By: Tom Doobie http://www.theyellowmarker.org/blog/2006/12/02/matrix3-a-hellrazor/comment-page-1/#comment-12 Tom Doobie Fri, 02 Feb 2007 18:52:25 +0000 http://www.theyellowmarker.org/blog/2006/12/02/matrix3-a-hellrazor/#comment-12 Funny you mention that you cut yourself more often with the Matrix3, as I'm currently sporting a three-blade gash on my chin (three perfect lines corresponding perfectly with the dimensions of the blade) from when I got a little careless with the razor yesterday. I also notice that I'm only getting about 4-5 days use out of one blade nowadays whereas I used to get a week's use. But I chalk that up mostly to my face, which has more than likely adapted to it. Still, as three-blade experiences go, I still think the Matrix3 is on par with...if not better...than the Gillette option. Factor in that it's about 33% cheaper than Gillette, and I'll still go with the Matrix3 every time.

I have mixed experiences with the matrix razor. First I cut myself more often that with the Gillette blades. By now, that is not so much of a problem anymore, probably because I am more careful. On the other hand, the matrix blades become blunt much more quickly. When Gillette came up with the 3 blade models, I thought: "Damn, this is expensive, but at least they last much longer than the 2 blade models." Now I haven't tried the 4/5 blade models yet, but if they outlast the matrix by far, I would consider getting those... I am still not convinced by either solution... Tom,

Only problem with the Matrix3 is that it's made by "Equaline" and can only be found at Albertsons' related stores (ACME, etc.) It’s about time that a generic company put out a razor equivalent in quality to Gillette.
