4.0 out of 5 stars Mowin' the five-o'clock shadow, September 27, 2002

This review is from: Gillette Mach3 Turbo Cartridges with Aloe & Vitamin E , 8 cartridges (Health and Beauty)

There was a time when I couldn't stand shaving my face. No matter what type of instrument I used-- single- and double-bladers, Norelco™s, EpiLady™-- after the act I usually found myself annoyed by skin irritation, razor burn, and nicks that took forever to stop bleeding. But when I tried the Mach 3™, which changed the dreaded shaving ritual from a bothersome, dreadful task into... well, a less-bothersome, tolerable task. I got closer and cleaner shaves with fewer strokes than I did with previous depilatory implements, and my face didn't sting quite after the deed had been performed. I also experienced fewer nicks and cuts, helping to keep my styptic pencil bills down. Unfortunately, the max number of shaves I could ever get out of a single Mach 3™ V 1.0 cartridge was six before the dullness set in (partially due to my coarse facial hair) and the lube strip began to poop out.

I was surprised by how well Gillette managed to improve on most of the Mach 3™'s designs with the release of the Mach 3 Turbo™. Now it takes even fewer passes to get them cheeks & chin baby-bottom bare, and I've managed to make the average Turbo cartridge last through eight shaves. And thanks to the apparently-improved lube strip and that little face-stretcher thingy on the bottom part of the tri-blade, my face only feels a light sting in a stiff wind after a shave. Another great surprise: I didn't have to buy a new kit for the Turbo cartridges-- they snap right onto my original Mach 3™ razor handle, no sweat!

Thanks to the Gillette® Mach 3 Turbo™, that semi-weekly shaving ritual I once dreaded has gone from a less-bothersome, tolerable task to... an even-less-bothersome and even-more tolerable task! Boy, if Gillette™ keeps improving on this product, I might one day actually find myself enjoying the act of mowin' the five-o'clock shadow!

`Late.

This is the only blade I'm allowed to buy for my husband. He normally has to shave at least twice daily but these blades allow him to go all day without the second shave. They don't tear up his face in the process either, but get it so close that he doesn't have to worry about rushing home to shave again. A truly great product and well worth the price. It's great for ladies too!

I was a user of straight razors, then battery operated shavers which did not give me the efficient shave for the day and they irritated my skin badly. When Mach 3 came out I tried-it and I'll be damned it worked good, it kept my 5' O'clock gone for 2-days. When Gillette came out with the Mach 3 Turbo it revolutionized shaving and it soothed my skin with each pass with Vitamin E. But I think next time I'll buy the M3 Power, it is a better cartridge (one came in the M3 Turbo cartridge box as promo). I may also try the Fusion but will wait until they drop in price they are too expensive. Til' then I'll stick with the M3 Turbo & Power.
