Nice smooth shave!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried out the razor today, and it gave a nice and smooth shave without any nicking or discomfort. Handle fits the hand well. Glides easily on the skin. Looking forward to using it more in the next few days!
Not The Best Experience
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using the Gillet Mach3, I was left with wanting my other razor. I find the handle a bit small and the shave isn't as close as what I'm used to. For the first time in I don't know how many years, I have a 1 1/2 inch scratch from the razor just under my jawline. This could be because I'm just not used to the feel, so I hope to have a better review with a few more shaves. It wasn't a very smooth shave; however, it did do well in tight spaces like around my nostrils.
Getting a smooth shave is a must, and we're sorry to hear that this wasn't the case. For the best shave we recommend washing your face and neck with warm water and mild soap to help remove natural oils and sweat. This also makes hair softer and easier to cut. The best time to shave is right after a hot shower! Apply plenty of shaving gel, foam or cream to soften the beard hair and reduce friction. Also, be sure to shave in the direction of hair growth for a more comfortable shave, or against the direction of growth for an even smoother shave.

Not what they once were
Pitiful longivity is WHAT you can expect nowadays with Gillete Mach 3 refills. Been loyal to this brand & particular blade since it's release in mid 1998, however, I can no longer expect them to deliver a crisp smooth shave after 1 or 2 uses as before. Yeah I get it, I'm getting OLD & things change but .... I'm very systematic with using warm water to cleanse / clean the blades before setting them to dry face up in the razor stand. There is a lot of joy when shaving with a NEW blade but forget that experience after the 2nd. shave & that alone raises the cost of using them out of my bathroom entirely. They just simply don't last very long anymore !!!
It pains us to hear that a loyal Mach3 user such as yourself is having this happen. Nothing is more important to us than having our users get a quality shave, and blade that lasts, so we're very sorry to hear about this. We use top-grade steel and a special coating to last longer and cut better, so be assured this isn't the experience we expect you to have. For now, trim your beard before use, continue to use warm water, apply a pre-shave, and shave against the grain. Facial hair can be as tough as copper wire, so this can soften the hairs and make them easier to cut. Nonetheless we'd like to hear from you about this. Please call us at 800-445-5388.
Good but not great razor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Gillette Mach3 provided a very good shave, however to achieve a really close shave I had to go over the same spots multiple times. To its credit the lubrication strip allowed me to do multiple passes without any noticeable redness or chafing. The feel of the razor seemed a bit ‘light’ but that could be due to me being used to a much sturdier and heavy razor. As for the longevity of the blades, I have used it five times so far and the fifth shave seemed to do just as good a job as the first. Overall the Mach3 provided as good as or slightly better shave then comparable three blade razors.
Gillette Mach 3
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Gillette Mach 3 razor outperforms any close-shave razor I've tried so far. The first thing I noticed when handling the razor is the weighted metal handle with rubberized grips; It feels absolutely great in your hand. I have very coarse facial hair and most razors tug at my hairs even when using cream or gels. The Gillette Mach 3 did not tug on my hairs or create any irritation whatsoever. The lubrication strip on the razor applies a slick and defending layer that allows you to make a very comfortable second pass on coarse hair if needed. The blades made a very close shave and exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend buying the Mach 3 whether you shave every day or even only intermittently.
New Lubricating strip is bad!
I have been using mac 3 Razors for 5 years I shave my head and face every other day. They have worked amazing. However recently as of 6/1/2025 they changed the lubricating strip. I have had more cuts (one deep cut on my hear) in the two weeks of the new razors than I had in 5 years of using the old razors
Thank you for your feedback on the Gillette Mach3 Blade Refills. We're sorry to hear that the new lubricating strip has not met your expectations and has caused you discomfort, including cuts. Your experience is important to us, and we appreciate your loyalty over the years. We will share your comments with our product team for further consideration. If you have any more concerns or need assistance, please reach out to our support team at 1-(800) 445-5388. We're here to help!
Great razor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used a lot of these multi blade razors and I have to say the Gillette Mach 3 is definitely my favorite. I’ve been able to get a lot of shaves out of it and it usually only takes one pass for a nice close shave. If you want a close shave and a long lasting blade I highly recommend this razor.
Smooth Close Shave
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This razor is absolutely amazing. I do not have any complaints about it. It provides a smooth, close shave. I have been using it everyday for about two weeks and it still shaves as close as the first day I used it. I didn't have any breakouts or allergic reaction at all, and sometimes I am sensitive to razors. I was very pleased with this razor!
Gillette Mach3 Razor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the coolest razor I've used in my whole life. With the Mach3 there is no more banging your razor on the edge of the sink. Beard people know exactly what I am talking about. No more putting tissue when you get cut because you don't even have to press down for it to work. Smooth as a babbies butt.... Five stars 4ever.
Gillette Mach 3
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Time to switch razors.. I decided to switch to the Gillette Mach 3 and wanted to give a little more than 2cents. I had approx 4-5 days of growth , so here's the verdict. I lathered up grabbed the Mach 3 and was ready to attack this growth. At first, the razor glided through the beard without snagging and this was a plus for me. But as I made some headway through shaving, I did notice a few key things. The beard was not coming completely off. I do not have a thick beard but it was about 4 maybe 5 days of growth. I had to go back and hit the area another 3 to 5 times so it was clean and neat. This was true for the rest of the face as well. The upper lip area seemed to come off somewhat easier so this was only a 2-3 passes to completely clean it up. I will say the lubrication strip was really plentiful and left somewhat of a nice softness to the skin and didn't get sticky. So my initial review of the first use was not too favorable, it felt like it was more work than it was worth. But I will not let this deter my trying out this Mach 3 razor for another round.
It is important that you can get a comfortable and clean shave with each stroke of the blade. To help get that shave we expect, wash your face and neck with warm water and mild soap to help remove natural oils and sweat. This also makes hair softer and easier to cut. The best time to shave is right after a hot shower! Apply plenty of shaving gel, foam or cream to soften the beard hair and reduce friction. Also, be sure to shave in the direction of hair growth for a more comfortable shave, or against the direction of growth for an even smoother shave.
