Customer reviews for Gillette Mach3 Men's Razor Cartridges, 20 ct. forMember photos
Clever design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very different razor, than any I've used in the past; the blade head is nearly parallel to the handle body. This is such a natural position, I'm perplexed as to why this is not more of a "normal" construction and design method. The range of motion on the floating head is almost 45 degrees, providing real latitude, while navigating the contours of my face. Also, this if the first razor I've used, where I felt no concern about nicks, cuts and other "razor meets skin" mishaps. Skin contact feels very light and forgiving. Installation and replacement of the cutting head is also the easiest, most straightforward approach I've seen as well. The handle body is weighty and well-made. "Sturdy" is the word. This razor is a joy to use. I'll be purchasing replacement blades for this one. It's a keeper.
Barber close, without the stories.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used a competing 4 blade razer for years. This has a better release of stubble, than any modern razor I have tried.(Easy rinsing) This is a great stride, in it's own right. The comfort is on par with a barbers touch. Contours easily to fit any jaw line, or wherever it's tasked to work. It works for extended service, as I have yet to require a blade change. It works as intended,easily a winner, and gets 4.5 stars. (they are not adjustable)
Great Shave
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that the Gillette Mach3 razor is great. It does not snag and glides effortlessly, even without shaving cream. The handle is not bulky and the razor overall is quite easy to control. I usually use razors with 5 blades for the close shave however the Mach3 did just as well as my normal 5-blade razor. I would definitely recommend the Gillette Mach3.
One Step up from a Disposable, at best.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re looking for a razor just to get the job done and you’re not too concerned about the quality of the shave, this is the razor for you. But if you’re looking for a razor that hugs the contour of your face to give it that clean shaven look, this is definitely not it. The head does not pivot nor are the blades sharp enough to do a decent job (and this is brand new when I tested it out). I love the Gillette Fusion Proglide Power—now that’s a razor you can write home about! This Mac3 is probably one step up from a disposable at best. I’d say spend a little bit more money and get the Fusion ProGlide! It’s an investment your face will thank you for!
You should still get a great shave with our Mach3 razors, so we're sad to hear that this wasn't the case. We do recommend that you 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. Following these steps will allow for a close smooth shave. If you would like to share more about your experience, please give us a call at (800) 445-5388. We're always here to help.
Thoughts on the Mach 3 Razor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's small size is convenient for carrying. Works well in tight spots like around the ears or under the nose. Gives a smooth and gentle shave if your skin is sensitive. I am used to using a five blade razor so I didn't like that I had to go over areas more than I would have with a five blade razor. Overall not bad for like a travel razor but as day to day razor I would stick with a five blade.
Thanks for your feedback! We know preferences in the amount of blades can vary from person to person but we're glad to hear that you've found your perfect match! In the meantime, to get the closest shave, we suggest 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. Be sure to apply plenty of shaving gel, foam or cream to soften the beard hair and reduce friction. Shave in the direction of hair growth for a more comfortable shave, or against the direction of growth for an even smoother shave. Do not shave in both directions.

Quality had gone down dramatically. Melts on top
The blade it self is fine. The top part above the blade, after one shave, it started melting. Never expected this a from a brand like Gillette. Seems like someone's cost cutting idea to save penny. It is a pain to remove this melted plastic or what ever it is from the face.
Every product that leaves a Gillette factory does so with the expectation that it will provide a close, comfortable shave time after time. In order to get maximum life out of your Lubrastrip 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 and don’t store it face-down on the shower ledge, or with the lubrastrip in direct contact with any surface. Also, be sure to keep your razor/replacement cartridges away from direct contact with water when not in use and rinse blades lightly after use. Extensive rinsing will wear your lubrastrip down faster. Gently shake off excess moisture after rinsing the blades and let air dry. When you have a moment give us a call at 800-445-5388, and we will be happy to help.
Close - but no cigar
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Mach 3 system may be a good choice for some - it just didn't hit the mark for me. The lubricant wore off after on 3 uses and the blades seemed to clog up making it somewhat uncomfortable to use. On the plus side - the the razor system itself is easy to load, and felt good in my hand. However, that did not translate to close, smooth, shave. May work for some - just did not hit the mark for me.
Each shave should hit the mark and leave your skin smooth! We're sorry that this wasn't the case with our Mach 3 and hope you will give our blades another try. To get the most out of each and every shave, be sure to apply plenty of shaving gel, foam or cream to soften the hair and reduce friction. Shave in the direction of hair growth for a more comfortable shave, or against the direction of growth for an even smoother shave. Do not shave in both directions. At the end of every shave, rinse the blade thoroughly and shake off excess water before storing. Do not wipe the blade. 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 and don’t store it face-down on the shower ledge, or with the lubrastrip in direct contact with any surface. Also, be sure to keep your razor/replacement cartridges away from direct contact with water when not in use and rinse blades lightly after use. Extensive rinsing will wear your lubrastrip down faster. Gently shake off excess moisture after rinsing the blades and let air dry. If you find that you're still not getting the results we demand from our blades, please give us a call at (800) 455-5388. We're happy to help.
Gillette mach 3 razor is good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Gillette Mach 3 razor and it is good. It cuts the beard hairs really close to the skin and doesn't leave any bleeding at all. And it cleans up good too. Better than some of those 1 blade razors out there.
Great shave, the best a man can get!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first time I've used a Gillette triple blade swivel razor and I have to say I was extremely impressed! The action was smooth and it followed every contour of my face, chin and neckline. After cleanup my stubble was gone on the first pass. Compared to my previous brand of razor (single blade, plastic handle), I didn't need to go over the same areas of my neck or chin to remove whiskers that it missed the first time. The triple blade and the amazing angular rotation of the shavers head gets it all on the first pass. In conclusion this is one of the best shavers I've ever tried and I encourage everyone to be their own critic and see if you agree! I give it a high 5 and a big thumbs up.
400 Shaves And Counting On One Blade
Normally I would not take time to do a review, but every morning I shave compels me to at least mention this. I bought a package of blades (3) and razor about 14 months ago. I still have the plastic holder of blades with two new blades still in it. Probably not good news for Gillette because if others have the same success you will not sell us any blades for three more years.
