I use the Mach 3 blades as well. $13 for 4 blades is highway robbery, but meh.
I tried the Fusion out a few weeks ago, since my gf got me a cheap one randomly from Catch of the Day. It was ok, but honestly, it didn't seem to be any better than my Mach 3, so I switched back when the blades ran out.
I only shave every couple of days anyway, but once a week I do my head as well, so I pretty much go through 1 blade a week.
And that is the exciting life of Stu shaving.

UK dudes need to check out the King of Shaves range.
Their razor is cheap and kicks the shit out of mach 3 and wilkinson swords.

I used to use a straight razor because I thought it helped against the ingrown hairs that plagued my face after shaving. Two years ago, I got an electric razor and never looked back.
Worth it.

Good luck to you though, I'd love to know how to shave with a blade.
- I do the same thing, works amazing. I also think the shaving cream plays an important role on the shaving experience. I use a Mach 3 ? or fusion.. and I buy a box of 8 that lasts for the full year. I throw the blade away when it literally stops functioning, it lasts. Shaving creams I recommend : Neutrogena and The Shaving co. (usually sells on Rite Aid here in the States, hard to find honestly).
Shaving in the shower gives you the best, closest, painless shave.
