I was so excited about the prices compared to the $23-$24 I pay for them in NYC. When they arrived, I shrugged off the German packaging. But when I used them, I knew I was had. These razors are very tough. They hurt and did a poor job. I went through several razors in the first pack, then opened the two other packs, hoping that maybe it was just one pack. But no, it was the whole lot. They all were terrible. I finally tossed them and went to my local pharmacy and bought another pack. My face feels so much better. If you think you found a good deal, Don't do it!

These blades were blunt out of the box and the lubricant strip had no lubricant. They went right back to Amazon for a full refund.

Do NOT buy this product. Do not buy from Infinite Surplus. These are FAKE, COUNTERFEIT products. The blades are duller than rusty tin can lids and will tear the flesh off your face. The orange lubricant strip that is on genuine Gillette blades and works wonderfully is nothing more than a cleverly colored piece of rubber on these forgery knock-offs. Demanding refund and disgusted that these prodcuts are available on Amazon.

Just for the record, these are just green Mach3 blades (thus the M3 name for the razor I guess), though they claim the strip has some aloe vera on it. Really now!

I don't think the pretty color is worth the couple of bucks extra they charge.

The price is about as good as you can find for these blades. This size package offers the lowest cost per blade. However, whenever Gilette brings out newer (and ever higher-priced)products, suddenly, the sharpness of the older blades seems to go downhill. This is obviously designed to drive consumers toward the newer shaving systems. Being an older guy, I've seen this happen time and again. Suddenly, the blades you have been using for years are duller and don't hold their edge as well. You move up to the newer shaving system to get back to the old comfort level, at a higher price. Then, the cycle eventually repeats itself. I am sticking with the M3Power blades as long as they are available, because the newer system is still more expensive and doesn't give me any better a shave. I am just hoping that the sharpness and longevity of these blades doesn't go down any farther.

When they arrived the glue on the boxes had let go and were open.
Also the boxes were not printed in english looked like german. Dident hold an edge. would not buy again

I have an incredibly hard time shaving with just any blade. I will cut myself into a million pieces with the cheap disposable blades, and even previous versions of the mach 3 blade still left my skin irritated. Now that the m3 power has come out, the shave is so much less irritating and, when combined with m3 power shave gel, it performs even better! The green lubrication strip is amazing! The blades just glide right over the skin with the new addition, however I typically find that the lubrication only lasts me 2 shaves, and then it starts to nick up my skin. The blades break down to about $1.00 a piece, which turns out to be $0.50 per shave for me (for the blade product alone, not incuding shave cream, new batteries, etc.), which is a bit high. The blade is great but the price is a lot. If you are willing to spend the extra money for a great shave, I have not found a better razor.

UPDATED: The Gillette Fusion Power blades are even better than this product. At the time when I wrote this review, Fusion had not even been released. After using Fusion Power, I cannot return to this product any longer. Fusion provides an even LESS irritating shave to my skin that the M3 Power did, and seems to trim quicker and slide smoothly across my face with the proper shaving cream. I love the addition of the single precision blade on the backside of the razor blade, this provides me with a quick easy way to trim my sideburns evenly.

I've used Gillete 3 Turbo blades for years, and love them. However, something is very wrong with these recent blades. They are not sharp, they hurt, and feel like they could slice my face at any moment.

These blades need a recall.

Buy at your own risk. Too many fakes ones out there. Even Amazon.com sold me fakes ones - I couldn't return them because I went through my stock of good blades and when I opened the fakes blades it was past the return date.

The reason that these are so cheep is because of there quality. The first time I used one of these it felt worse than the one I replaced, they irritated my neck and no matter how often I shave it pulls like an old dull razor blade. Eventually I thru them away and baught the more expensive ones at the store, much better. Dont waste your time and money on these!
