I read about some other Gilette Mach3 Turbo blades which were fake. I read the reviews here and decided to order these, which seem like a steal. I knew something was wrong when I couldn't get them to snap very snugly onto my Mach 3, but I shrugged it off and attempted to shave. The shave is terrible! I don't have super thick hair, but I found it impossible to rinse the hair out of the blades using my normal techniques (hold it backwards under running water, or swish it back and forth in a cup of warm water). Further, it fell off my Mach 3 mid-shave. I threw these away, and out of the same wastebasket I retrieved an old, discarded -- but AUTHENTIC -- blade, and shaved with it instead.

I don't know if those other reviews were written based on a different stock, but as of now (July 2009), these blades are a ripoff/knockoff.

Glad I found these at a better price than local stores. Unfortunately they were DULL from the first shave. I tried two blades from one package and one blade from the other 5-pack with the same results, a very rough, scratchy shave. Not at all like Mach3 blades purchased from local stores. I'm not sure what the problem is but I'd be very apprehensive about purchasing !! Usually new blades are very sharp and give a smooth shave, not these !

These are so dull they are unusable!! Had to return them. Like a lot of the reviews say, these are NOT real, original blades. Pull out a real one and look at the blades closely and you can see the blades on these are not the same shape and size- probably resharpened and worn down like a lot of the other reviews suggest. That's pretty gross too, I really don't need to be using a razor that someone else has used. Please stop using this seller!!!!

Ran out of my Mach 3's and finally got around to ordering some here after seeing the price at Walmart, etc. When I tried the first one I couldn't believe how badly it pulled the hair on my face. Figured they were bad. Well... just happened to find a couple blades I never used from my old case. Put one in and WHOA, what a difference. I got online and typed in "counterfeit razor blades". Check for yourself. Don't buy these. Shame on Amazon if they continue to allow this seller to use them.

Needed new razors and figured I would get cheaper ones from Amazon. I had read a lot of reviews warning about inconsistencies and the potentials of getting an item that was genuine.

From my set of razors received, the first one I used was rough to shave with. You could feel it coarsely going as you tried to shave and the lubricating strips didn't seem to do a thing. For a 5-count, to have even just one blade shave rough is not great... The second blade I used was definitely better, yet still nowhere as smooth as store-bought replacements.

I'm deciding that perhaps the safest thing to do is to buy replacements directly from the store..

So dull that they are unusable and the green strip that supposed to have Aloe & Vit. E has nothing.

I thought I was getting 10 blades total (2 pack of 5 count) but only received one package of 5. Buyer beware!

The blades are great and the new packaging makes it impossible to copy (be careful with the fake, Chinese blades)

these were the worst razor blades I have ever purchased anywhere!Even when in the U S. Army nearly 40 years ago the Gillette blue blades that had been packed in the 1940's and were 30 years old were better than these Mach 3 turbo.
When I contacted P&G they responded 10 days later they were unable to confirm the type of blades I purchased.If Amazon.com would be kind to forward this information to P&G I would be very happy.

My husband usually loves these razors but he tried every single one of the 20 we bought and he said they all hurt his face.
