 Great price, great blades |

Paid $10 on a Gold Box sale. Definitely a good price for these lades. I usually pay $6-8 for a pack of 4 at the grocery store/pharmacy.
These are decent blades, and I like them much more than Schick blades. They clean easily, are sharp, and last a long while. In my option, the best all-around blades on the market. |
Can't live without them.

| I'm always amazed at how much these razors cost, but when I compare to other options, I always come back to the Mach 3. I've tried electric razors, but anything that's cheaper that buying Mach 3 blades can't do a thing about shaving the hairs on my neck. I'd guess that I use a blade every month and a half (long after the lubricating strip is gone), which makes this cost about $16 / year. A fine deal if you ask me. |
Different quality grade?

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. |
My husband, a/k/a Wolfman, swears by these

My husband has a thick, dark beard and dainty, sensitive pale skin. These blades work well and don't irritate his skin. No five o'clock shadow; no razor burn. Using blades instead of disposables saves plastic and you get to hold a nice metal handle.
Perfect, huh?
Well, a straight razor is more green--it's forever if you just sharpen it, but he's not going there. |
Alright... let's be honest.

| Razors are ridiculously expensive. I looked at KMart, Target, my local grocery store and even took the trek to Costco to find a good deal. This is the best deal I could find. Disposable razors just don't do the trick. I used one this morning, in desperation, and it pulled the hairs right out of my neck... PAINFUL and irritable. Mach 3 is, ultimatley worth it, and this is the best deal I could find. Reccommended, even with the shipping cost. |
