The Fresh Blade – Schick Xtreme 3 Ultimate Razor.So let’s cut to the chase, see which of these blades is the better buy. Going back to it now, with all the knowledge I have accumulated over the years, will be an interesting experience. The Xtreme 3 was one of the first multi balded designs I ever tried out, and it soured me on the whole concept for a very long time. I am always wary about going back to the Pace 3, I have never been a fan of three bladed razors, neither one nor t’other from my perspective. This method will provide you with the closest shave of your life, and if you minimize the stroke, minimal irritation will occur. Finish up with a soothing balm, menthol is best as it closes pores faster. Then the three pass shave, once with the gain, once perpendicular to the grain and once against the grain. Then apply warm foam, fill a mug with hot water and add the foam on top, shouldn’t take too long to heat up. Follow up with a hot towel, opens the pores and raises the hairs. This remove dead skin and ensures a smoother shave. I will be using a five steep three pass shave style on three days growth, then again a few days later with the now dull blade to test longevity. I have found in the past that companies that stick to such archaic delivery systems exclusively tend to charge more for the lack of privilege. Rather than, say, a subscription model like Harry’s or Dollar Shave Club. They are both companies that follow the traditional model, selling a handle, cartridges then replacements over time. Their product line in NA covers only the blades and shaving foam, so a little lackluster there. I have been comparing their shave to a variety of firm’s products for the last two months or so, and have fallen in love with one of their products. They offer the full range of blades, more so than most other companies, and sell them at bargain prices, unlike most other companies. They are responsible for a few tech innovations, and their recent release of the seven bladed razor has endeared them to me, being a fan of the to the bone style shave. They also sell a variety of shaving foams, gels and balms, giving them a bit of an edge over Dorco US in that department.ĭorco are a young firm, a little over 60 years old now. The current product line is exactly as you would expect, a three blade, a four blade and a five blade design. Probably not a good idea to shave with one though. Wilkinson’s Sword were found in 1772, and were famous for their high quality swords. Schick are an old enough firm, founded back in 1926, it is nothing to the age of the bought out UK firm selling the Schick blades. Today is all about the budget options, the Dorco Pace 3 up against the Xtreme 3. But let’s not assume favoritism, there is a reason I split from them after all, and it was mostly due to the rising price of the product. I grew up using their products, disposable and otherwise, so going back to them now is nearly as nostalgic as the Gillette review series. That’s right, it’s Schick! Known as Wilkinson’s Sword in Europe, and one of the power houses of the razor industry.
