After shaving with the Mach3, I noticed some pull and looked at the blade edges under a microscope. Sure enough, there was microchipping and the edge was no longer smooth. I resharpened the blades on my EdgePro (3000 and 7000 grit) and it was a better shaver than original, until it wore out again.
Anyone know what steel the Mach3 uses? Because it seems both soft and brittle. Edge retention is terrible. Steel quickly becomes toothy after wear.
