If the price drops, I may eventually consider buying them.
When the Mach III Power came out I tried it side by side with the regular Mach III and I definitely felt the vibrating motion helped to cut the hairs more effectively. Since then, I've only purchased the "power" versions of their razors.

I totally agree though that the prices of these blades is totally out of control. I went to my local wholesale club and the 16 pack of these blades is $46. RIDICULOUS!!! That's almost $3/blade.

I got mine in today (it was actually three days ago but my wife never told me it came in the mail and had it in her van). Looks cool and the blades are very thin. I doubt I'll pay $46 for refill cartridges though. I still stick with my old Sensor Excel refill cartridges for about $25.

I just got around to trying mine out this morning with 2 days growth -Wow what a razor! I paired it up with some Lab Series Cream (best stuff I have ever tried) and I must say never had a shave that smooth and easy - No Tug and No Burn. Head is bigger than I am used to so took a bit of getting used to but otherwise perfection. I don't care if the blades are $10 each I am hooked.

Don't like the vibration and glad it has an off switch.
