[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.

I have purchased Gillette products for over 30 years. Never have I ever been more disappointed with a product than the GilletteLabs razor. I changed to it because my regimine of using a Mach 3 and a Good News Sensor 2 razor each day to get an acceptable shave continues to really miss the mark. But the Gillette Labs shaver is the most blatent rip off in history. This product is horrible.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using it for three days, this razor has a lot of good going for it. It looks good cradled in the magnetic base. The weight feels good. The handle not only looks good, but it feels good when shaving as well. I like the flexdisc that allows the cartridge to rotate side to side. The shave is a good, clean shave with no tugging or errant nicks. With all of that being said, the razor is good. But in looking at how different everything is with this razor, I feel like this razor should be great and, for me, it really isn't. It's not bad. I just didn't notice an exponentially better shave with this razor than my regular razor that I use which is unfortunate because with as classy as this razor looks and feels, I really wanted to love this more than I do. I wouldn't not recommend it as it is definitely a classy looking razor that gets the job done. But if someone only cares about function, this may not be the only Gillette product worth looking at.

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.] 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!

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 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.

Maybe I received defective blade cartridges, but I did not like shaving with this razor. It did not give me a close or comfortable shave. Sheving with the first cartridge felt like shaving with a half dull blade, so I tried another cartridge; same result. I have been using the Mach 3 cartridges for many years and they privide a far more comfortable and closer shave for me.
