Between those two the Mach 3 IMHO is better.
Mach 3 vs Proglide: differences?
- Thread starter AGX
- Start date
over the last couple of months I purchased every major US "shaving system" that Gillette made to my knowledge. I Tried the Trac II, Atra, Sensor, Mach, Fusion/proglide. I used the Gillette brand carts for each system as well as a few 3rd party brands for the older handles. I feel the Mach3 does as good a job as the Fusion and needed an equal number of passes for me. I did get more irritation from the 5 blade system, but that isn't to say that you will get the same result.
All of this being said, I have to say that to me, the Atra is by far the best middle point between DE and modern shaving. If you use the finesse that is learned through DE shaving, the Atra might turn out to be the razor for you.

I felt similarly at first, but after trying some better blades and getting my technique down, a DE shave is better than I ever got with a cartridge and I have fewer (no) ingrown hairs and less irritation.
The ProGlide
I heard it will be called the "Mini Blinds", but I am sure that is just speculation.
I noticed some that required batteries - what on earth is that all about?
It adds to the shaving pleasure.
One is more expensive than the other.

As others have said, a DE doesn't really take any longer, and yields a much nicer shave. The learning curve is really not all that long. One or two weeks seems typical. You still learn and improve from there, but it's more subtle refinement from there. That said, a mach 3 does give most people ( myself included) a decent shave, especially if you use a good lather. I haven't tried a proglide, so I couldn't comment on that.
Shaving of what? I think we should be told.
