I saw the other reviewer's note that these were fake, but I thought he might have gotten a bad batch.
Well, so did I. The are visible defects and the blades aren't sharp.
I'm not buying these online anymore.

In the past I have purchased these blades as long as the seller was "Amazon.com". I've been burned by getting fakes blades when I used sellers that were not Amazon.com.

This time, I bought two 12 packs from the seller "Amazon.com" and just opened them up this morning to use and discovered they were clearly fake! It is past the date range return the blades so I am stuck with them. I thought buying from the seller "Amazon.com" would have been safe but I was wrong. Buyer beware, I recommend going to a store to buy your blades.

I bought these for my husband and thought I was saving a lot of money only to find out that the first pack was fine and the rest were bad blades. He says they do not shave well and have a glue substance on them. We just bought a pack from Target and what a difference! this is the last time I buy something like this on the internet.

I read a few other reviews about these blades being fake and didn't believe it since i've never had such an experience ever. The blades looked fine but within 3-4 days of opening them, the blades started rusting. Stainless Steel blades cannot rust. The lubricating strip dissolves in no time, the blades get clogged. I have used Mach 3 blades for over 8 years and can clearly tell that these are not original blades.
STAY AWAY FROM THESE. Pay the extra dollar and buy them from a reputed store.

Paid $10 on a Gold Box sale. Definitely a good price for these lades. I usually pay $6-8 for a pack of 4 at the grocery store/pharmacy.

These are decent blades, and I like them much more than Schick blades. They clean easily, are sharp, and last a long while. In my option, the best all-around blades on the market.

I'm always amazed at how much these razors cost, but when I compare to other options, I always come back to the Mach 3. I've tried electric razors, but anything that's cheaper that buying Mach 3 blades can't do a thing about shaving the hairs on my neck. I'd guess that I use a blade every month and a half (long after the lubricating strip is gone), which makes this cost about $16 / year. A fine deal if you ask me.

I thought I found a good deal on these blades but they were NOT like the smoooth Mach3 blades I buy at the store. These blades said Mach3 but were very rough on the face and not smooth at all... all the blades were that way..Pointless spending even a dollar per blade for this quality. MAch3s are great blades though the ones you get online from here are either fake or just bad.

These blades are not sharp and shaving is just painful.
I should have paid more attention to what the other reviewers were saying... I've been using Mach3 cartridges for many years and I strongly believe these are, indeed, NOT the real deal. Extremely disappointing, considering they're sold directly by Amazon.
Buy at your own risk; mines are going straight to the garbage bin.

I purchased a pack of 12 blades from this seller and on my first shave realized that the blades are fake. To confirm this I bought a pack of 5 blades from Walmart. And I could notice the significant difference between the two. Then I compared the two blades and noticed that there was no Gillette mark behind the blade (the one purchased from this seller). I compared the mark with my old blade and that one had the Gillette mark too. And on top of that the shave from this blade is harsh. So this is confirms that the blades are fake.

I rarely review products but I just wanted to share my experience.

NEVER PURCHASE GILLETTE BLADES FROM THIS SELLER. THEY ARE FAKE.

I'm not sure about the other reviewers who say they are fake... the packaging sure looks real, but the blades are definitely not right. First, they are not sharp at all. Second, there's is something about the backside of the blades that causes the swivel mechanism on the razor to jam. The blade ends up stuck perpendicular to the razor handle and basically doesn't shave. I've tried the same blade on two different razor handles: it's definitely the blade, not the handle.
