Unexpected Bonus
I like to shave. After spending money on supposedly better shave products, including Injector-types, straight razors, and double-edged razors, my raw skin and mangy-looking beard always crawls back to Mach 3. I decided to make the morning ritual a little nicer, and embrace the multi-blade hype so often derided by razor aficionados, and ordered this kit. The price was right and it looks even nicer in person.
THE BRUSH is a badger hair brush that works up a nice lather...better than several boar brushes I have used. There is a musky (?) smell at first, but I sprayed the brush with rosemary water, and the smell has diminished. Maybe after a few more days the smell will dissipate. It's not awful, but it's not pleasant, either.
THE CUP is just a metal cup. I used Kiss My Face shave cream and a squirt or two works fine for my two swipes. I also just scoop the cream with the brush and lather my face, instead of mixing in the cup.
THE HANDLE is nice and fits the Mach 3 (obviously.) An added bonus is the weight heavier than the standard Mach 3 handle and I do not need to press down as much. Even better, the pivot is more angled and flexible, which helps provide a closer, more exact shave. My sideburns do not end up chewed in spots, and my neck area is as smooth as the face. The pivot angle helps me get a shave as close as a straight-razor in a barbershop.
Even better than expected
Very happy with the quality and price of this shave set. The brush and razor handle are both heavy (in a good way) and feel solid in your hand. The stand is sturdy enough that it isn't prone to tipping when you use the bowl, but the bowl does lift right out for easy cleaning. My boyfriend was using the Fusion razor, which will hang in the stand just fine, but went back to the Mach-3 so the set would look nicer - he reports that he really likes shaving with Mach-3 heads on the heavy handle. A great purchase!
No longevity
Nice set, but don't expect it to last very long. My bowl is rusting and the mast is corroding where the bowl mounts after a year and a half.
