Gillette mach 3 is for men but could be for women as well?
What do you think? Have any of you "stolen" your boyfriend/husband's razor? Results?

In college I was still using the disposable razors with just one blade, and burning through them fast. A good girlfriend of mine saw this, dragged me to the drugstore, put a Mach 3 in my hands and said "Here, this is MUCH better".
And she was right! When I married my husband, he saw I was using a Mach 3 and I caught him "borrowing it so much for his face, that I bought him one of his own. :D
Back when I first started using the Mach 3, most women's razors had guards attached that were supposed to protect delicate skin, but in my case just gave me stubble. The Mach 3, on the other hand, always gives me a clean smooth shave!
Because I'm using a more powerful razor, I do have to exercise extra caution to only shave in short, light strokes, applying to pressure to the blade. And they're pricey, considering women usually go through blades faster than men. But for me, the Mach 3 is the best. I won't switch until they tear it off of the supermarket shelves.
Ladies, if you like lots of power and feel like cowgirling it up, get yourself a Mach 3!

I asked her why she keeps using it and she says it just shaves closer than the ones the girls get.
Go figure...

Skin care is different than shaving. Given the difference in epidermal thickness between areas on your own body...there's no way to design a blade for a specific thickness of skin.
An upper cheek may be thinner than a knee. An 80-year-old man's neck is more frail than than an 18-year-old woman's thigh.
Within-person variation ranges from .05mm - 1.5mm (eyelids to palms). Between-person, and between body parts...there's no way to make a blanket statement about skin thickness being an issue.
The wide heads on a woman's razor are to keep the blades away from the skin. Women are not slow or careful...they shave like they're peeling carrots. And, sometimes they shave off some skin. The oversize plastic head also distributes some of the pressure, since razor blades were designed to cut with a sharp edge...not with brute force.
Blunt tools and too much pressure are ingredients for injury, whether you're using a razor, chisel, knife, etc.
It's very hard for a man to shave angles, curves, and nooks with an oversized woman's razor.
Then she got the pink "girl" version (Venus).
Don't _ever_ borrow a woman's razor. There are two good reason a man's razor always shaves better:
1. we change the blades
2. we DON'T leave them in the shower
Her blade is dull, coated with scum, and generally scraaaapes the hair off, rather than lifting and cutting cleanly.
I still tend to hide my razor (and shaving cream) in the guest bathroom.

The only real difference I found so far is in the Venus 3 razor for woman which comes with a soft, protective cushions surround blades and oval cartridge for comfort. In all, both razors Mach 3 and Venus 3, seem identical in functionality. So in theory there is no reason why women should not use Mach 3, except for the cushioning blades and the oval cartridge the Venus 3 carries:

* The indicator lubricating strip has a blue stripe that fades away when blade is no longer optimum
* Each blade has a patented DLC comfort edge to glide effortlessly across face
