    Free Mach 3 In the Mail!

    I just got a free Mach 3 razor in the mail with a form letter from the president of Gillette telling me basically "I let you borrow my crack pipe, and the first hit is free... and here is a coupon for $1 off crack cocaine down at the open air market."

    Smart marketing: free razor, now you are on the hook to buy blades forever!!

    I've always been a SensorExcel guy, but you guys talk about Mach3 like it is God's Own Razor, so I'm siked to try it out.

    I got sucked into that promo a couple of years ago; I've been hooked ever since.

    I suspect that has been a highly successful campaign for them.

      Agreed, Mach3 is the best razor I've ever used.

            It just showed up in my mailbox. I didn't ask for it. Somebody must have sold my name to a list...

            Those razors cost like $10 in the stores...

                The best razors in the world are straight razors. Fuck safety razors.

                      I was already a diehard convert, and they sent a freebie to me about a year ago. Rather handy, now I have one for my travel kit, and one for home.

                      The New Yorker ran an article about the time it came out about the decades of research that led up to the Mach 3. The computer modelling they ran on hair follicles and skin types was quite amazing. It's no accident that it's a good razor. Evidently with that much money to be made, they can pour a LOT into R&D. The knockoff generic tri-blade razors just don't get the angles or the materials right.

                        Yah the Canadian site has the offer. Last year I got a cheaper
                        plastic one and this year they sent me an aluminium one.

                          Who would've thought that it took all that R&D and engineering to get a fucking razor right?!

                                  It's a good business model... proven by drug dealers all around the world.

                                      I've been just using the trusty old Gillette Beard Trimmer on its lowest settings. Avoids the itchy "growing back in" balls/ass. Can't deal with that.

                                                Hell, they sent me a regular Sensor razor in the mail when I was 16 years old, I fell in love with it and used it for over 11 years (They definatey made their money back on me from buying blades all those years), I recently jumped up to the Mach 3

                                                  Update.... almost 5 years later, I'm still using the same Mach3 razor they sent me for free.

                                                  Now THAT is effective marketing.

                                                          Here is a very good article on theses tactics :

                                                              dry it with a towel, the blades last much longer
