I bought it a year and a half ago and I'm very satisfied. It gives me the best shave I've ever had, and I've tried everything. The cartridges last much longer than the Mach3, Fusion5, and Proglide. And the blades cut closest to the skin. Compared to the Philips razor, this is much better.

I've been a loyal Gillette customer for over three decades. I started with their basic razors Sensor when I first began shaving, moved to the Mach 3 then Fusion when it launched, and have been happily stocking up on Proglide Proshield for years. These were solid, reliable products that did exactly what they were supposed to do: deliver a close, comfortable shave. Then came GilletteLabs with the "exfoliating bar," and I'm beyond disappointed. This product perfectly represents what's wrong with Gillette's current direction. Instead of focusing on what made them great—making exceptional razors that simply work—they're pushing unnecessary gimmicks that nobody asked for. I've been getting perfectly smooth shaves for 30 years without needing my razor to exfoliate for me. Let's be clear: this razor costs more than the Proglide Proshield, yet it performs worse. The shave isn't as close, the cartridges probably will not last as long, and the exfoliating bar feels like a marketing gimmick that adds bulk without adding value. It's painfully obvious this "innovation" exists primarily to justify a higher price point, not to improve the shaving experience. I can't help but suspect these products are designed by executives and consultants who probably don't even shave regularly themselves. If they did, they'd know that what customers want is simple: sharp blades, good lubrication, a comfortable handle, and a reasonable price. We don't need "heated razors," "exfoliating bars," or whatever gimmick comes next. For over a century, Gillette built its reputation on one thing: making the best shaving razors in the world. The Proglide Proshield was proof that they still knew how to do that. Why abandon what works? Why not invest in making those proven products better and more affordable instead of chasing gimmicks? I genuinely hope Gillette returns to its roots. Until then, I'll be sticking with my stockpile of Proshield cartridges and seriously considering whether my next purchase will be from a competitor who still understands that sometimes the best innovation is perfecting the basics.

Both the regular GilletteLabs and the heated version are a complete failure. The quality is simply not there. The razor looks fancy, but the moment you pick it up, it feels cheap and unstable. The handle rattles, the construction is weak, and it gives the impression of a low-grade product hiding behind premium marketing. The heated model is even worse — heavy, awkward, and absolutely pointless. The so-called “innovation” adds nothing to the shaving experience. There’s no vibration, no precision, and no comfort. Meanwhile, the Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide Power stands in a completely different league. It’s solid, perfectly built, and feels premium in every detail. The vibration helps cut through thick stubble effortlessly, delivering a smooth, clean, and irritation-free shave every single time. Nothing rattles, nothing feels cheap — just top quality and performance. In short, both GilletteLabs razors are overhyped and overpriced disappointments. Fusion5 ProGlide Power remains the real standard of quality and the only one worth buying.

I have been shaving for 55 yrs plus. I have always used a Gillette razor and blade . This year I decided to try Harry’s cheap looked good on the site and promised a great shave. It was a huge waste of money. I used ye blade that came in the razor and I had 2 nicked places when I finished. I thought maybe try he blade was just a demo blade do I took it off and tried a new blade. I got 4 nicked places that time and some places I had to reshave . Next shave I went for my Gillette labs which the blade was a month old and shaved . No nicks and a smooth shave. The Harry’s was their new improved design . I will never fall for the Harry’s or Dollar Shave Club again . I am proud to say your product may be a little high on price but it’s worth every cent. I am a true fan and will be forever

This is a seriously high quality razor. Great looking and feeling design, but the best part is the blade cartridge and the way this razor allows it to flex in a variety of different directions and orientations. There are certain parts of my throat area where the hair grows sort of oddly and for some reason, no matter which direction I try to shave in, it’s really difficult to close cut this small patch of hair. With this razor, it’s effortless to get a close cut on this patch of hair (around throat area). I really think the way this razor allows the blade cartridge to flex, is greatly impacting how easy it is to get a close shave in areas that are usually more difficult to get with almost every other razor.

Horrible lab razor only got 3 shaves and cut face. Competition has better blades . Lab over priced terrible! Got robbed $$$

I bought my first Gillette Labs starting kit and a Tom Thumb Grocery Store in Dallas, TX. This is the best razor I ever used.

I bought Gillette labs about a week ago and the razors blades that was on the razor seemed dull it cut me and seem like it pulled me stubbles out

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My boyfriend loves this. It shaves clean and pretty close. It feels clean. Its durable and a bit heavy on the grip. Doesn't make noises! The stand it adorable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such an amazing razor! I love th packaging, the material feels resistant and durable and it does the job very well. Not sure if it really exfoliates my skin but it’s amazing regardless
