Gillette Mach3 Cartridges (Pack of 12)

Gillette Mach3 Cartridges (Pack of 12)

From Gillette Razor

Made for use with the Mach3 razor, Gillette Mach3 Cartridges feature three blades that offer a close, comfortable shave. Each blade is specially positioned to extend gradually closer to your beard, resulting in fewer strokes. Plus, each of these blades has a patented DLC Comfort Edge, which means less irritation every time you shave. It's also easy to know when to change blades: the advanced indicator lubricating strip includes a blue stripe that fades away when you are no longer getting the optimal MACH3 shaving experience.

Features

  • Box of 12 replacement cartridges for the Gillette Mach3 razor

  • Features three blades for a close, comfortable shave

  • Specially positioned blades progress gradually closer to your beard, resulting in fewer strokes

  • Each blade has a patented DLC Comfort Edge to help minimize irritation

  • Advanced indicator lubricating strip features a gradually fading blue stripe to alert you that it's time to change blades

Customer Reviews

a good enough shave

they do the trick. i cant believe razor blades in general are so expensive but this package is not a bad deal. i use each blade about 15 times before i replace them although they do dull out after about 8. but i am a very frugal and poor person so i cannot afford to replace them like a prince. overall though a good value.

These still work great-no need for 5 blades that I see

These still work great-no need for 5 blades that I see. I use these with the newer vibrating handle, they give a nice close shave and cost much less that the newer ones...

Mediocre and Overpriced

Unfortuantely, these mediocre and overpriced blades are probably the best shave that most people will get from the mass produced blades and shaver systems. It gives a better shave than most 2 blade razors I've tried (Excel, etc.), and 3 blades is about the most blades that I can use on a razor and be able to get to all the nooks and crannies on my face - thus I don't recommend the Fusion or any other razor with more than 3 blades. Here are a few other points:

1) For thicker beards, these blades will rarely last more than a few shaves before you feel the tug and pull leading to razor bumps.

2) I do give these blades credit for the flow through design allowing hair and residue to be rinsed through the blades without clogging them; but, then again, why do you need 3 blades in a razor? With an exceptional blade, you should only need one to cut your facial hair.

3) Another design flaw with this razor (as well as most razors) is that the "fins" or whatever they are called, on the bottom portion of the razor head (that supposedly "prep" your beard) actually scoops away the shaving cream before the blades have a chance to touch that portion of your face - so now you have 3 blades being pulled across inadaquately lubricated skin. Trust me, you need the shaving cream there when the blade scrapes across.

4) I would recommend getting a classic double edge razor. My wife has noticed a huge difference in my face and neck - no more razor burn! I can shave everyday now. I prefer a Merkur double edge razor which can be found on Amazon or you can do a google search for "classic shaving" to find them for cheaper. The blades will usually run about $5 for a ten pack, and one of these super sharp blades last about a week for most people. Think of the cost savings and the benefit to your skin if you only gave up purchasing the ever increasingly expensive and insane multiple blade cartridges

Customer Reviews

Great, calming, post shave balm!

I bought this after looking for a calm and nice smelling post shave balm to use on my face. This does exactly that. I find that I get no irritation later in the day or any kind of burn feeling (sometimes I would get this from changing the blades) when I use this product.

This has a great, light, smell. It does NOT smell like a old mans cologne or aftershave at all, in fact if that is the smell you are going for - this is not the product for you.

I will be back for more.

Why buy a new razon?

Hubby has replaced the heads on his Norelco a number of times and it works like brand new!

The head is over priced

Customer Reviews

Saved my legs!

Without question, this is the best razor and blades I've used. It gives me the closest shave with the fewest nicks. I've been using this for years, and I won't give it up. I do think that the replacement blades are overpriced, but I'm still buying them. For me, who was chopping up my legs all over the place, this was a godsend. Quite simly, Venus gives me the smoothest shave without nicks all over the place.

best razor ever for women

The Gillette Venus is the best razor for women, I have only cut myself once and it was when my husband scared me while I was in the shower, so it really wasn't the razors fault. I recommend these to any woman who is tired of knicking yourself while shaving.

Excellent Shave

These are the best razor blades on the market. I've tried so many other brands, but Venus is the ultimate number 1. It gives you a nice, clean shave without nicks or cuts. Worth more than five stars.

Best Stuff You Can Get.

If you have rashes or blemishes and burning on your face after a shave, this is your stuff. I've been using it for... over 2 years now. Like another reviewer stated, if you forget it, you'll know it. It removes the rash in like 5 minutes. It makes your face feel great immediately and lasts for a long time. The best thing I've noticed is that it won't clog your pores.

OK so the bottle is glass and heavy, I happen to like it. Just be sure your hands are not dripping wet and don't use it while standing over the sink - (carpet will absorb it if you can predict when it will fall). If you still don't like glass in the bathroom, transfer it to another container because this is the best it gets.

cheaper at cvs and elsewhere

I am bothered that the proce is represented as a discount when in fact this reduced price is actually almost a dollor more than what I would pay regular price at cvs or another similar store. It makes me mistrustful of the other prices noted.

By the way- I do like the product as good aftershave with a very soothing effect and nice scent.

Great and Smooth

Nivea's Shave Balm is great for after shaving, and it also lasts a long time too. I have been impressed with how far it goes and how well it performs.

I have used it to help shaving the head, and it has been excellent to aid in touching up the shave for an extra close shave there. It may sound weird, but it works well as a touch-up shaving cream. It really allows the razor to get close when you run against the hair on the head.

Beyond that, the product is excellent, and leaves a very fresh and invigorating feeling on the skin. Totally cool stuff from Nivea here.

Customer Reviews

Great After Shave

I was introduced to it when I was young. A barber used to splash it on me after a haircut. I loved the smell. When I became older I used

it extensively. The smell is not over powering and lasts all day. I've received many compliments about it. It's the best.

What is to say?

Hey, What's to say about Lilac Vegetal?

It is the quintessential barbershop aftershave lotion. If you are too young to get the point, you are probably too young to ever want it!

The stuff is great! I'm 61 years old, but my girlfriend loves it too (grin).

Lilac Vegetal

Lilac Vegetal is by far the very best after shave lotion any men can ever dream of, there is such a feeling of freshness after it has been used, I constantly receive compliments, even hours after it has been applied. Raymond Maher

  • BAD RHAP

    I have used this shaver for over six years! I had to replace them two times. Once because the foil failed the other is while cleaning the blades I drop the foil in the toilet while it was flushing. To my dismay you have to buy the whole set at that time I had to order the set. The next time the price went down to $ 23.99 . This will be my third set! I think since I have very skin sensitive and use pre shave it helps the blades and foil. And for me it no razor burn:) :)

  • Great deal

    I got the shaver screens and cutters right away. It was the best deal anywhere!
