Best manual razor I have used, 7 Sept. 2014

This is by far the best manual razor I have used. I had been using the Gillette Fusion Proglide prior to this, convinced that I should splash out and get a "decent" razor for shaving, but I found it caused quite a bit of discomfort - particularly on the neck, where it would get really sore during and after a shave. This happened regardless of how well I prepared before starting, and regardless of the different gels/creams used to shave with. I'd read some reviews that said the Mach 3 had considerably less tug, and therefore a much smoother shave, despite being older and cheaper, and I'm happy to say that this is absolutely true. The shave I get from this razor is vastly superior to that of the more expensive Fusion Proglide, and I'm saving about £4 each time I buy a new four pack of blades as well. I've also noticed that the blades on the Mach 3 last considerably longer than those on the Fusion Proglide - where they used to tug on the neck hairs even more after about 3-4 uses...

Old School Shave... New school life, 8 May 2015

I like old school shaves

I was perfectly happy with one blade which removed hair quite nicely. Then the two blade came out and I thought it was a gimmick but it removed more hair than the one blade and I was seriously impressed. Then this three blade came out and I thought it was a big marketing ploy...because really...whats the next logical step? haha...really.

To my surprise, the three blade wasnt a marketing ploy! Gillette's technology improved so much that even more hair was removed when I shaved. Like...really gone. I cant even see any hair on my face after I shave...AT ALL! Now they have the four blade and even a five blade. I'm a little hesitant that if I upgrade, I will shave away layers and expose parts of myself I dont even know exist. I really want to be a better person and Gillette has helped me show that to the world. One day I hope to have enough confidence to take the big leap and upgrade. Thank you Gillette for helping me really be me. Call me old...

No problem, 8 Dec. 2013

I normally shave with a safety razor but use these when travelling. I have previously used the battery ones but they stop working after a while and as far as I can notice there is little difference in the quality of shave compared with this one. Not as satisfying as a safety razor but good when travelling.
