Customer reviews for Gillette Mach3 Men's Razor Cartridges, 20 ct. forMember photos
Impressed the first time...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While I was throughly impressed by this razor on first use, I was not as impressed the second time around. The comfort of the handle is on point, and my first shave felt fabulous, especially after the last year of razor club razors. The second shave (my beard is not as thick as others) seemed like it had already deteriorated the blade and did not feel as good as the first. I have not had a chance to try it again, but if my 10th shave feels as good as my second, I will up my rating on this product. As a user of many different razors over the years, including many Gillette product (like my shaving cream!) I would say this fits the bill as average, and we shall see over time if it's "excellent"
We want every one of your shaves to feel as good as the first time you used our Mach3 Blades so we're sorry to hear about your experience. We do want to share with you that there are a few factors that can impact the blade's longevity including how tough and thick your hair is, how often you use the razor & on which areas of the body, and how well you rinse the razor. To continue getting great results, be sure to store your razor in its organizer to make sure air can circulate around the lubrastrip/cartridge after use. If you don't have an organizer, please store the razor face up. DO NOT store it face-down on the shower ledge, or with the lubrastrip in direct contact with any surface.Be sure to keep your razor/replacement cartridges away from direct contact with water when not in use. Please give us a call if you're still getting the same results as you did the second time after trying these tips. We'd be more than happy to help you further.<br />
Great razor for man and woman!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After a few years of using a budget razor and blade set, i truly forgot what i was missing.. I forgot how close of a shave these Mach3 razors are and how extremely smooth i got. I would definitely recommend these to anyone. My girlfriend also tried it and now i have to get more!!
Can’t get new blades to clip into handle.
I loved this razor until recently. I have bought three new handles and none of them will attach to my blades. I now have 10 blades without a handle that accepts them. Yes I am using the correct handle unless the one you sell with the blades is wrong. It should be a simple thing to make your blades fit the handle you sell with it.
Whenever you choose Gillette, we'd always want you to have a smooth experience. Please keep in mind, our Mach3 line of cartridges are compatible with all handles in the Mach3 family. If your blades are not fitting your Mach3 handle, it's possible the handle is broken. We do try to make sure our products reach you in perfect condition so If you'd like to reach out to us to share your experience, feel welcome to reach out to our team at (800) 445-5388.
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.
Great shave from old reliable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has been several years since I have shaved with a Gillette Mach 3 razor. I forgot how great a shave I could get with this reliable standard. I found the shave as good as I can get from much more expensive razors. I also found that when I use Gillette ProFusion Clear Shaving gel it made the shave very comfortable, effortless and very close. I am now using Mach 3 razor blades everyday and couldn’t be more pleased.
Fantastic Razor!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used a lot of razors over the years but the Mach 3 has to be one of the best out there. It gives you an incredible clean shave and no irritation. The blades stay very sharp for me for longer than other brand razors which equates to a nice cost savings. It is also very nice and convenient that they are sold just about everywhere so grabbing a replacement blade pack is easy. I can and do easily recommend the Mach 3 as one of the best razors on the market.
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. If you would like to share more about your experience, please give us a call at (800) 445-5388. We'd like to help.
Close Shave
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoy having a beard and mustache but use a disposable razor to keep it looking nice and trimmed. Gillette is my go to brand and I was happy to try Gillette Mach 3. The blades have my a nice close shave it was easy to use and and worked well in getting the right curves needed for me to trim my beard. It was a close shave but didn’t irritate my skin what so ever. I enjoyed the way I looked afterwords and even got compliments from my family afte the shave. I would purchase this and recommend. I received the product for free to try.
My husband uses the MACH3 for his everyday shaving and one day I was out of my razors so I borrowed one of his, well I haven't gone back to my old razors yet and probably never will. The MACH3 leaves my legs so smooth! I have to shave often because we live in Texas where it is hotttt, with the MACH3 I don't get razor burn or ingrown hairs - even when the razor is ready to be retired it still works great.
What has changed with they razor blade?
I used this razor for several years. However, over the last year I noticed a change in the quality of the shave. I now get razor burn and bumps as well as having to shave more often. I used to get a smooth shave and it stayed nice for 24 hours. Now, by the afternoon time after shaving with this blade, my skin is irritated and my hair is making my face rough. It's really frustrating. I tried the Proglide Shield and it actually hurts to shave with this razor. Any suggestions are welcome.
For a comfortable shave with your Mach3 or ProGlide Shield, we suggest shaving with plenty of shave foam or gel and to shave with your whisker hair growth. We'd like to learn more for our Health and Safety Team so when you get a moment give us a call at (800) 445-5388 Monday-Friday 9a-6p EST and we'll be happy to help.
