Customer Reviews of Gillette Mach3 Cartridges (Pack of 12)
Customer Review: The best blades I've found...so far....
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been up and down (literally!) with many a blade (Schick Extreme 3, Gillette Sensor 3, a regular bic) you get the idea. And so far nothing has worked for me as well as the good ol' Gillette Mach 3. It's been a mainstay in my medicine cabinet for more than 3 years now!
It does the job it's intended to do quite well, and the regular 4 pk pretty much does me a week and half. Unfortunately, I only get 2 shaves per blade, and the 2nd is NEVER as good as the first, obviously. But this is more a matter of an individual's facial hair, not so much the blade, and is too open to debate which detracts from the message I am trying to give. To me, the MACH 3 is the best non-battery powered (see MACH 3 TURBO, which I have not tried at this time) disposable razor that you can buy today, that I have tried
The one drawback may be in the price. In recent years the price of the original 4 pack has shot up quite noticeably. I can remember buying one for maybe $6.98 CDN and now I can't find one under $8.98CDN, and this is at WAL-MART, no less! But that really has nothing to do with the quality of the razor, which is awesome.
The absolute very best shave may be found in one of those expensive Philips or Braun electric shavers with the fancy bells and whistles, and if you want to shell out extra cash for one, go for it. But for those on a budget and want a great shave, you needn't go any further than the original MACH 3 blade. These days, there are a few spin-offs, such as the TURBO as well as a new FUSION brand (with 5 blades! Pretty soon they'll make one that just takes off a whole layer of your skin!), and I am interested in checking those out, only thing is they are TERRIBLY expensive. For tried and true, grab a MACH 3, and start shaving!
Customer Review: Great, Smooth Shave but a Little Pricey
Summary: 4 Stars
For years and years I used some variation of the Gillette Trac 2. These blades gave me a decent shave, and I had no real reason to complain.
I don't remember when I first started using Gillette Mach 3, but I could definitely tell the difference from the first shave. My first impression was that this blade is amazing! I remember how the first time I dragged it across my face I could barely feel it. It was much smoother than any other razor I'd ever used before. Not only was it a smooth shave, but it cleanly took off all my whiskers and did so more perfectly than the Trac 2.
I've noticed, however, that it doesn't take that long before the shave isn't quite as smooth and close as it was at first. And then the blades seem to go into a mode where they give a decent shave for a long time. And then, at some point, I realize it's just not doing the job anymore, and I put in a new blade.
I've never had any problems with the handle, and I've been using the first one I got for years now with no complaints. I solve the price problem of the replacement blades by buying them in bulk on either Ebay or Amazon. I try to get them for under $2 per cartridge if I can.
There may be better razors or blades out there, but I'm content enough with the Mach 3 that I've stocked up on enough to last me for years!
Customer Review: nice for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I used Sensor or Fusion for years and never tried the Mach3. They were good but expensive and I could only get 3 shaves per cartridge. I thought I would try this deal since I had nothing to lose but $30.
I actually prefer the feel of the Mach3 over the Fusion. I always felt the Fusion would slip off my face and cut my eye open. Something about the grip and motion makes it feel unsafe. Has anyone else experienced this?
Anyway, I have thick, fast growing facial hair and I get a weeks worth of shaves off the Mach3 for half the Fusion price. By day 5 it is rawer than the first day, but that is to be expected.
I am pleased with the Mach3 and will buy again when this massive supply runs out.
Customer Review: The three muscateers
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using Mach3 for over 5 years now. I got hooked on it since the first time I tried it; I have a thick beard and it is very hard to get a smooth shave. I usually shave every three days when my facial hair has grown enough to get the "ounf" effect. The blades slide over my beard and erases it: No pain and no mess. If you are a first time user, you'll need to buy the handle; this item only contains replacement blades. Oh, and one more thing, you can reuse these blades several times before disposing it; there is a tiny marker (just like the toothbrushes) which tells you when it is time; or you could just do like I do and replace it every month (8 to 10 shaves).Customer Review: Great Source for replacement, good quality product
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a nice price for 12 cartridges/$20 in case if one needs a replacement. Being lazy shopping in Brick-and-Mortar stores, I figured out that Amazon is a great source of everything I need including my shaving supplies. Buy something else to qulify for free shipping. Additionally, if you shop with Amazon CC you will be earning 3 points for every dollar spent. Out of $20, this is like $0.60 discount.
As for the Mach3 cartridges, I use them for years now. Compared to many other brands this is the winner. Expensive: may be, good quality: absolutely Yes!
