The chips are primarily used for inventory tracking. If that putz had any clue, he'd know that the mach3 pack of carts is the single most stolen item in America. I'm sure it's that way in England as well.

Still sticking w/ the Quattro for now, sonofabitch just shaves so damn well compared to everything else I've tried since starting this thread 2 months ago

Gillette Powers up the World's Best Shave with New M3Power; MACH3 Innovation Shaves More Thoroughly and Closer In One Easy Stroke
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 15, 2004--The Gillette Company today launched M3Power, a revolutionary powered wet shaving system for men. M3Power -- a MACH3 innovation -- combines breakthrough blade and razor technologies with innovative engineering for a totally new shaving experience that delivers the world's best shave.

M3Power outperforms all men's shaving systems, including MACH3Turbo - the world's leading razor - in closeness and comfort, by shaving more hair, closer in one easy power stroke.

The M3Power razor delivers gentle pulses to the shaving cartridge that stimulate hair upward and away from the skin, making it dramatically easier to shave more thoroughly than ever before. The M3Power razor works synergistically with M3Power's proprietary blades, which incorporate the Company's most advanced blade technology, to provide a new level of glide and comfort. The M3Power system operates under 62 patents.

"Building on the tremendous success of the MACH3 franchise, we're powering up the world's best shave and providing a superior shaving experience," said Peter K. Hoffman, President, Blades and Razors, The Gillette Company. "We expect this new system to substantially fuel the value of the blade and razor category, in the same way that MACH3Turbo has driven growth over the past two years."

In addition to its revolutionary powered razor, Gillette M3Power includes other innovations that contribute to a superior shaving performance. The proprietary blades are enhanced by a new coating, called "thin uniform telomer," which provides a perceptible improvement in shaving comfort throughout the life of the blade. Other features include an Indicator(R) Lubrastrip(TM) infused with Vitamin E and Aloe, and a superbly engineered handle with strategically placed gripping surfaces that enable men to shave confidently and safely at any angle. M3Power also is shower-safe, so men can shave wherever they prefer.

Consumer testing among hundreds of men confirms that M3Power is the new gold standard in shaving performance. M3Power was significantly preferred over the current best-performing shaving system, MACH3Turbo, which beat Schick Quattro by a 2-to-1 margin.

"The performance of M3Power is unprecedented," said Mr. Hoffman. "Consumer testing, conducted according to the industry's most rigorous standards, concluded that M3Power is preferred overall and on every one of the 68 shaving attributes that were tested, including closeness, comfort, efficiency, safety and less irritation. M3Power is clearly the world's best shaving system."

Gillette M3Power will be available in North America in May 2004 in food, drug, convenience and mass merchandise stores. M3Power will be supported by an extensive marketing campaign, including print, radio, television and internet advertising, in-store promotions, POS displays and direct mail. The shaving system includes the refillable razor, two cartridges and a AAA Duracell battery and will retail for approximately $14.99. An M3Power 4-pack of refill cartridges will retail for approximately $10.99; an 8-pack will retail for approximately $20.99. As always, retail prices are the sole discretion of individual retailers.

Headquartered in Boston, Mass., The Gillette Company is the world leader in male grooming, a category that includes blades, razors and shaving preparations. Gillette also holds the number one position worldwide in selected female grooming products, such as wet shaving products and hair epilation devices. In addition, the Company is the world leader in alkaline batteries, and manual and power toothbrushes.

i have to use an electric razor or a strait razor, for some reason the Lords of Chaos deem it neccessary for me to carve my face like a christmas goose whenever i try to use a regular razor.
I don't get it really, drives me nuts.
I love my electric razor though, its mantastic.

Ptchah I'm not gonna use a battery-powered razor until they replace the blades with lasers.

Makes sense that it operates with batteries. That way they can double-dip with the cost of blades and batteries, thus (potentially) increasing their profit.

An M3Power 4-pack of refill cartridges will retail for approximately $10.99; an 8-pack will retail for approximately $20.99.

How does that compare to other blades? ~$3 per blade, after tax, seems expensive to me!

Yeah, not only does it include and will use Duracell batteries, the vibration technology was created in conjunction w/ Braun.

They have a lot of cylinders pumping on this one. Too bad it looks like a bad sci-fi flick.

The press conference said the handle had a "Matrix" appeal. With a straight face. I kid you not. Even the invite to the conference came on a clear electric lime green plaque in a tin box w/ lime green writing of Gillette's logo. The whole point was to re-establish their "technological advantage" over Schick.

The whole Green thing is a little ridiculous as is the idea that this vibration actually means something other than slicing your face apart in lateral ways. I just don't get the market though, it's a very young styled product, even moreso than the original Mach 3 yet they cite aging baby boomers keeping on top of the edge(so to speak) of grooming as one of the reasons to pushing the envelope of wet shaving to elite status

$20.99 is very expensive for an eight pack of carts. Considering the M3Turbo and Quattro hold at about $16.99, you've got a whole new class of dollar bill burning
