Customer Reviews of Gillette Mach3 Cartridge 12-Count
Customer Review: Different quality grade?
Summary: 5 Stars
It just slays me how expensive these shaving cartridges are, but I must admit they do shave better than old twin-blade systems. [...]. I've never used Turbo and I'm not sure what it would add to my shaving successes, so I figured I didn't want to pay more for this feature.
Amazon had the best price I could find on the regular Mach3, but when I received them I must say they look different than I remember. They seem to be made of cheap black plastic, I could swear the ones I bought in retail stores felt better made. I dropped my razor in the shower recently and the metal tabs that hold the whole thing together bent and tweaked the cartridge -- this had never happened in years of dropping store-bought Mach3s. And it might be my imagination but it seems like I am needing to change blades more frequently, as if the blade is a poorer grade metal that dulls or corrodes faster.
I can't prove it but I suspect Gillette is trying to phase out this product to steer consumers to a more expensive update, and is manufacturing a cheaper version for guys like me who cling to this product in hopes of avoiding the more expensive update, but the spotty quality will probably push me there eventually anyway.
Customer Review: How are you fixed for blades?
Summary: 5 Stars
I guess you can call me a stick in the mud. However since I started using these blades I have no incentive to change. So far, I found the three-blade system the optimal. To blades work but they feel cheap. More than three blades feel like I am just overdoing it. I actually use the advanced indicator-lubricating strip to indicate when it is time to change blades because I really cannot tell. If it was not for the indicator strip, I probably use the same blade for a year. The package is a convenient size to ensure that you will not run out blades every time you turn around.
I use bar soap as my lubricant however; I do not really need one so it is more of a placeholder. One quick rinse and everything is clean and ready to start over with the next day.

Customer Review: Very good blade, Fake? I don't think so
Summary: 4 Stars
For me, the blade choice is between this an Fusion. I use this because the shave is quite acceptable and the price is considerably cheaper. There is a cut off point below this blade. Once you try this, you will realize that razor blades sold less expensively than this one are greatly more uncomfortable, do not give a shave in any way as good as this blade. There are better blades than this, but the difference is only in small increments superior. This blade offers a shave that is better by a great magnitude than any of those less expensive.
Thought they may honest and well meaning people, I suspect many of the folks that are saying that these blades are fakes are shills for a retail seller that does not like having the mark up reduced, but who knows? I am,as I write, about to reorder some now after having burned through a very satisfactory 24 pack.
Customer Review: Mach3 in 12-Pack
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the third time I have purchased this version of the Gillette Mach3 Cartridge 12-Count box. I say this version as you can get many different configurations of the 12-count from Amazon. Some of them came in corrugated cardboard boxes from outside merchants...these were re-sharpened blades and in some cases could not be used on the first shave.
This particular item comes in a plastic sealed box that requires scissors to open. They seem to be consistent with the much more expensive individual packs in the brick and mortar stores AND they are sold by Amazon directly. The blades are all new and some even last for almost two weeks...seriously!
Don't be fooled by imposters...make sure you buy these blades from Amazon directly.
Customer Review: Fake Blades
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased a pack of 12 blades from this seller and on my first shave realized that the blades are fake. To confirm this I bought a pack of 5 blades from Walmart. And I could notice the significant difference between the two. Then I compared the two blades and noticed that there was no Gillette mark behind the blade (the one purchased from this seller). I compared the mark with my old blade and that one had the Gillette mark too. And on top of that the shave from this blade is harsh. So this is confirms that the blades are fake.
I rarely review products but I just wanted to share my experience.
NEVER PURCHASE GILLETTE BLADES FROM THIS SELLER. THEY ARE FAKE.
