Gillette Mach3 Turbo

Shaving for many years with Mach 3, but recently there construction materials no longer last - I don't know whether its that Gillette is having supply inferior products to the large supermarkets due to pricing pressures that are expected - no longer would you receive the claimed number of even 5 shaves before receiving a blunting blade irritated skin - I'm lucky to get 3 before the green lubricating strip disappears as well.. Now having consider trying an another shaving system.

Quality has dropped right off. Not getting a close shave and not lasting as long as they used to. Very hard to clean also. Expensive to buy the cartridges. Simply found much better quality in other brands.

The Mach 3 blades these days are rubbish and a total waste of money. I wouldn't recommend them.

I started using them around 15 years ago, and back then, and for some time going forward, they were an outstanding razor - you could not fault them.

These days, they are a poor quality razor that is massively overpriced. They didn't always include the advertising gimmick on the box saying 'up to 15 shaves from a razor' - I suspect this was added after they changed to a poor quality blade in order to distract long time users from the reality that t...

Over a three year period, I bought two packs of these Razors. Never got one Shave out of both packs!? Had to use a Cheaper twin blade razor of a lesser brand to finish the job properly! Worst Shave ever, not the Cheapest ever by far.

I have been using this razor for years. I find that the razors are very inconsistent in quality. Some blades work well for many shaves. Others are useless after two or three shaves. Why is it so ?

The packaging is a sealed plastic casing. It's not easy to remove.
It requires cutting with scissors. The plastic is relatively thick and the cutting creates sharp corners and edges.
The outcome is that its a hassle.
Why does the packaging need to be this style, with such an outcome?

I have been using the Mach 3 for years, recently tried other brands and blades as an experiment ( 2 and 5 blade Gillette and Oscar) I have heavy whiskers and find this razor gives the closest shave with no irritation. Never had a problem with dull blades or faulty handle. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

I have used Gillette razors for 30 years. I have tried other brands too, but they would always prove inferior in that they would leave more cuts on my face and were harder to clean. However, only Mach 3 felt like a real breakthrough for me: it NEVER cuts my skin and NEVER gets clogged with my bristle. I should mention that my facial hair of less than average density and thickness.

I have broken 5 Mach 3s in just over 2 months. I don't press hard but the razor plastic ends are so flimsy they break very easily. I persisted because I had lots of Mach 3 blades but will now go back to my old Schick. For the price it's a ridiculously expensive product that is so poorly and cheaply made and the the company must be aware of the problem.

I have used your razors for a long time i have never complained about the price as the quality was there and durability was long . The new blades are blunt to start with and useless will never buy again overpriced rubbish from china.

The refills are expensive especially as at least two in every pack have been blunt, and cut me straight away, but what is worse the ridiculous idea to replace cardboard packaging with tough impenetrable plastic packaging, when plastic waste is one of the biggest environmental dis
asters marine life and the human race faces today.

Have been a long time Mach3 user - have noticed a significant decline in the quality of replacement blade heads of late - to the point of them being blunt (and painful to use) out of the pack
Will have to change brand I feel - disappointed

Long time mach3 user but the last batch of blades I bought at Cosco was blunt.. brand new blades and they simply blunt, also I found that the plastic clips are very flimsy and weak and break.

Best product ever! clean close shave every time, no cuts and each blade last over a month of shaving every day!
