The Best I Have Ever Used

I have used disposal razors (great when you have the facial hair of a teenager), electric razors (pretty good for a while, but the replacement blades are expensive), and several generations of Gillette razors. The Mach3 is the best yet, though I have yet to try the new Fusion razor.
Gillette makes all sorts of claims regarding the Mach3. I am unable to tell whether any of the claims have merit. I can tell you that the blades, though expensive, last a long time for me. I have moderately tough facial hair. The old disposable razors gave me a few days of shaving and they were history. I have shaved up to two months with these razors and still got a good shave.
I have read that there are controversies about the value of three blades. I think the three blades help keep the razor at the optimum angle on my face for shaving. I do get a pretty good shave as well. I do use Edge Advanced Shave Gel in combination with my Gillette Mach3, which may help get me a better shave.
Most men in the United States shave, whether we like it or not. The Gillette Mach3 gives me the best and most consistent shave I have ever had. Until I find a better razor, the Mach3 is the one for me.
Enjoy!

This is a really good razor, it always gives me a good shave (and I have pretty tough facial hair), so you know, it does its job well.
My only complaint is that yes, the blades are kinda pricey, but I usually combat that by not shaving so often. Come on, I'm a college student, I can be fuzzy. But this is a great razor, give it a try if you think you're a little rough. Sorry I can't go into too much more detail... but it's a razor. It does its job well, what else can I say? |
Wow! Gillette has created a near perfect razor. ...

| Wow! Gillette has created a near perfect razor. This razor gives the smoothest, closest, most comfortable shave I've ever had. And with this incredible closeness, there's virtually no irritation. The razor is held at a different angle than I'm used to, but after adjusting to that I found it very easy to use. A third blade initially sounded like a sales gimmick, but it really makes a big difference in the razor's performance. |

| I grew up with cheap plastic disposable razors. A couple of years ago I tried the Mach 3 and I haven't turned back. Oh, I have tried a few other products, just to see if something was better. The Schick Quattro my wife gave me (after getting a coupon for a free one) found itself at the city landfill after 7 days. I have a full, thick beard and fairly sensitive skin. This blade cleans my face perfectly and I find it extremely rare to suffer a nick or cut on my face. The handle is perfectly designed and bends to the contour of my face. The blades pop in and out easily. One drawback is that the blades are just a bit pricy. But, the blades also last as long as three of the disposable blades I used to use. The moisturizing strip could last a little longer, but it isn't a major factor for me. I gave this product a 5 because it is the best razor I have found. I will keep trying to use new razors to see if someone can beat it, but, until then, I am staying with the Mach 3. |
My guy got me hooked

| My fiance' got me hooked on using his razor after I forgot mine on a trip. I have to say it is the best and closest shave I've ever had. It didn't feel like I was scraping my skin off with my hair. Cost isn't so bad compared so some other shaving systems. |
