What I like most about this Gillette Labs razor is that it gets an excellent close and smooth shave as long as you wet your face with hot/warm water and use plenty of shave cream. I use Barbasol with aloe moisturizer and I also like it alot because it cuts the whiskers on your face according to the contours on your face!! it's the best shave i've ever had!! i like the lubricating strip it has and the design of the razor handle is excellent!! i like how it pivots for the contours of your face for a nice clean cut with no knicks or no cuts or no razor burns. Gillette makes high quality shaving products and i highly recommend them!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are a few good things about this razor - it feels good in your hands, it is well weighted, and there is a high blade count. A few things I don't like, it doesn't stand in the stand very well, have to set it in there just so. The shaft needs a deeper place to drop in to. And, frankly, I'm not sure what the exfoliating bar really does for me. I actually think the shave is not as close as with my regular razor, also a Gillette.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smooth and great shave. I love the price point as well. I love the design and fit in my hand. It is something I didn't even know I was missing now I won't use anything else.

[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!

Was very sceptical at first, but it is the best shave I have ever had. I cant beleive how close and smooth it left, i cant feel any stubble after. I hope it works for everyone else this well

I have had the sensor and the Mach3 and this Labs razor comes in third. The handle is heavy and clumsy and although the blades last they do not give the close smooth shave the Mach3 gives. I would love to trade it back for some Mach3 blades.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 🧪 Effectiveness The razor delivers a close, smooth shave with minimal irritation. The exfoliating bar helps lift hairs and remove dead skin, making each stroke more efficient. It's especially effective for daily shavers who want a clean finish without multiple passes. 💰 Value It's positioned as a premium product, so the price is higher than standard razors. However, the combination of exfoliation and shaving in one tool may justify the cost for users seeking convenience and performance. Blade refills can add up, so long-term value depends on usage frequency. 🎨 Design Sleek and modern, with a magnetic stand that adds a touch of luxury. The handle has a good weight and grip, making it easy to maneuver. The exfoliating bar is seamlessly integrated, maintaining a clean aesthetic. 🚀 Innovation The built-in exfoliating bar is a standout feature—rare in manual razors. It streamlines the grooming routine by combining skincare and shaving. While not revolutionary, it's a smart upgrade that enhances the user experience. 😌 Comfort Very comfortable to use. The exfoliating bar preps the skin, reducing tug and pull. The blades glide smoothly, and the ergonomic handle reduces hand fatigue. Ideal for sensitive skin when paired with a quality shave gel.

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.
