I will not purchase these blades ever again. Upon receiving, I noticed that the packaging was slightly faded and when you open up the actual blades, the gel coating (the strip of green/blue) had actually MELTED on some parts of the blades. This concludes that the storage facility of these products are not the best of conditions, which will harm the performance of the actual blades against your hair.

It gave me cuts and provided a more intense sting on the facial skin than blades usually do.

Avoid.

A friend told me that he buys his shaving blades from Amazon so I gave it a try. It was cheaper. But not by much once shipping was included. These Mach 3 were the worst blades I ever used. I have been shaving with the Mach 3 for many years and although these blades were new in the box, every one of them hurt my face. All 16 of them. It seemed like they were defective or something and I had to throw them all away. Will not buy blades from here again. I never had a problem with the same blades bought from a retail store.

I purchased the Gillette Mach3 Replacement Cartridges (16-pack) through Amazon from MZPhoto on December 16, 2008. I didn't want to review a product I had not used yet. I purchased them because the price cannot be beat and I was running low in my supply.

I have been using these blades for a couple of months now and I find the blades terrible. Like another reviewer described them, you have a more comfortable shave from a kitchen knife. I thought maybe we (my wife and I) had a few bad ones so I keep using them. ALL of them are bad. I have to shave every other day with these so my face can recover from the burns that result.

Earlier than December, my wife had seen a blade sharpener on TV and ordered it. I tried it a couple of times before throwing it in the garbage. The sharpened blades would last one shave and then cut skin. These blades that I assumed new out of the box are the same as my previously resharpened blades. I wonder if the purchased blades are truly new or re-packaged sharpened blades. I refuse to believe that Gillette would themselves put out such an inferior product.

The blades sold by this seller are fake! You should never buy any blades from this seller, he/she is not honest at all.Trying to use these blades would be impossible, they are as good as a scraper. An old kitchen knife would do a better job. For more information, see this website: http://fakeblades.wordpress.com/

Bought these blades because of the great price, but they are awful. Not sure if they are some kind of knock-off or simply old, but I had to throw them away. You'd get a better shave from a disposable Bic than from these blades.

I have used Mach3 shaving blades for many years. This is the first time I bought blades online thru Amazon. I can clearly see the difference between store bought Mach3 and the ones from Amzon. I DONT THINK THESE ARE ORIGINAL MACH3 BLADES. THEY ARE INFERIOR QUALITY BLADES. I AM DISAPPOINTED, NOT WHAT I EXPECTED FROM AMAZON.

The quality of these is not even close to the ones I purchase from a local retailers. The smoothing coating substance (blue) will pill off after a two-three shavings (none of the locally bought items have ever done that) while the blades become dull and start scratching instead of shaving. I've witnessed this behavior on several separate occasions / lots (silly me, should have gotten a clue from the beginning...).

Not sure what is going on with this company, as I've used Gillette brand Mach3 blades in the past-- always loved them.
I thought buying them from here would be a good price on many blades. I'm not sure if this company is selling fake or knockoff blades.
But these are worse than anything-- I had to resort to using my wifes cheap $1 razors to finish my shave--- plain horrible
Don't make this mistake -- you'll end up throwing your money in the trash.

This was the worst purchase I ever made. The blades cut me face!!! I had to contact Gillette to get re-imbursed. They sent me coupons for future purchases. I guess you get what you pay for. Cheap. Never again!!!!

I thought I had hit upon a bargain with the price listed. But then when I took the first swipe, it was clear that I was stupid to buy this. With the original Mach 3 blade, the shave is always smooth, the blade seems sharp. At the end of the shave I can feel the skin being clean of stubble. Not with this. Something is not right with the blade. I am scared to glide the blade along my chin as the movement is very rough and stubborn. The package and the blade all seem normal but definitely the blade is not even passable quality. Avoid this like a bad shave.
