5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent cut-free shaving, at last!
I have been using the Mach3 since it was first released by Gillette - it is the best razor that I have ever used. I always get an excellent close shave and never have any cuts or nicks. The cartridges are a bit expensive, but well worth it.

1.0 out of 5 stars warning
These are not the same blades as i have purchased
in the store. They are either defective or
counterfit. I have notified Amazon and Gillette.

3.0 out of 5 stars Prefer single-blade razors, September 2, 2005
This review is from: Gillette MACH3 Shaving Cartridges (12 Cartridges) (Health and Beauty)
While this product did the job, it left me with irritating ingrown hairs. The blades are relatively expensive too. I moved to a double-edged, single blade razor and have not regretted it. It was gentler on the skin, the shave was better and I hardly had any ingrown hairs. The double-edged, single blade is much cheaper too, so it was a win-win change.

5.0 out of 5 stars Try them if you have a Venus handle!, August 14, 2005
This review is from: Gillette MACH3 Shaving Cartridges (12 Cartridges) (Health and Beauty)
Although these blades are marketed for men, I am a woman and love them more than the Venus "women's version". If you like the Venus handle though these blades will clip right on, I love it. And talk about long lasting- I kid you not: I shave my armpits every time I shower- almost everyday, and it is sick but I have used the same blade for weeks and weeks! I don't recommend that, but you've gotta do what you've gotta do. Mach3 may be on the expensive side but they last longer and work better (very smooth shave) than any blade I've tried.

4.0 out of 5 stars solid product, decent price, March 16, 2006

That these blades perform well is not news to anyone. They are especially good for thick and rowdy beards like mine. Amazon's price is often slightly higher than my local CVS/Walgreens however.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not great, July 9, 2003

This review is from: Gillette MACH3 Shaving Cartridges (12 Cartridges) (Health and Beauty)
Mach3 is an enormous improvement over the Sensor, don't get me wrong. It's still not great, though. I always thought that safety razors were supposed to be, well, safe, but I still get nicks and scratches with a Mach3. For best results, shave every other day with it. At that point, you get a nice, close shave with little irritation. It gets a bit painful for everyday use, though.

If you can swing the extra dough, I'd recommend the Mach3 Turbo instead.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite up to standard., October 12, 2005
By Dingo Jellybean (Silver Spring, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gillette MACH3 Shaving Cartridges (12 Cartridges) (Health and Beauty)
I got this blade in the mail a few years ago, Gillette sent this out to potential customers.

I tried it and it's a decent blade. They use 3 blades, but while it is better than single or double blades, the swivel effect from the razor itself makes getting cut by the blades rather easy. I got a cut at least 2 times a month. It would leave me a bit irritated too. The price for the blades were a bit much too.

The strips wore down rather quickly, but I've moved onto the Schick Quattro and haven't looked back since.
