Enter the Gillette Mach 3. This was the first proper razor I got. Before this I used my fathers then a mixture of rubbish xmas presents - remember you didn't shave half as much in them days.
First off this razor is stylish, well, as stylish as a razor can be. The packaging is excellent and is an extension of the established and trusted Gillette brand. The razor itself is even more classy. It's designed to be ergonomically sound and ... ...the shave.
The Mach 3 is renowned for it's triple blade and definitely gives a closer shave. The lubricating strip works and the end result is a smooth, clean look with no skin irritation at all.
The one negative factor is the cost. The razor comes with two blades and is often on special offers for around £5, about the same amount as you'll have to stump out for your next box of four blades.
The crazy thing is that I didn't realise how good it ...

Advantages: A well built robust Razor, very safe. Disadvantages: The cost of blades is not cheap.
...better oh yes!
The Gillette Mach3 Razor was introduced in 1998 and is currently the most popular razor on the market today. It is fashioned with a moulded rubber grip handle, especially needed when your hands get a little soapy and wet and a quick hand change is required. Yes shaving your face with one hand is the norm, but the head needs two hands and two mirrors. The blade is made up of 3 stainless steel blades. Very sharp blades,however please ... ...into the stubble, I use Gillette Series Sensitive Shave Gel. Making sure that you use hot water to rinse the blade, start from the crown and work your way forward, not too fast with long flowing strokes, Continue this process until you have shaved the top and sides of your head, back to front is the name of this game here.
Secondly using a hand held mirror so that you can see the back of your head in a wall mounted mirror work your way down from ...

...early '90s..) I used the Gillette Sensor for Women because it was pretty and was 'for women.' All my friends used them, too. But all that changed a couple of years ago thanks to the radical discovery of my friend Marisa.
When Marisa's friend Dave turned 18, he got a letter in the mail from Gillette with a voucher for a free Mach 3, Gillette's brand new (at the time) razor. Under the impression that ALL blokes got free razors and girls got nothing, ... ...like it could be ANY Gillette razor, and went home the proud owner of a shiny, new Mach 3. We still don't know why Dave got a free razor in the first place..
Based on Marisa's rave review, I decided to acquire my own free Mach 3. My mum has a friend who works for Gillette, so I asked him to get one for me. Hurrah for being devious and miserly!
When it first appeared on the scene, the Mach 3 was innovative because it has three blades as opposed ...

Advantages: Its an incredibly good shave Disadvantages: The razors cost a fortune
...perfect item for me. The Gillette Mach 3 razor (as if you had not already guessed)! At the reasonable price of £3.99 with two spare blades it sounded like a good deal. But the real test, of course, would come in the bathroom.
Finally at home I actually had a look at my latest grooming product and I have to say it looks pretty swanky. With its steel core and styled rubber wrap you do get an incredibly good grip with enough weight in it so you know ... ...The actual blade itself is quite a change itself. First of all it has three blades placed in-between the now typical lubastrip at the top (is that right?) and weird rubber bit with 5 ridges at the bottom. Hmmm… (what’s that there for?) the blade also has the spring mechanism built in. Which is as far as I know a major change and has about flexibility through about 70 degrees, which is great for men with distinguished features. Attaching the blade ...

Advantages: close and smooth shave with less burn Disadvantages: cost of blades
...now I have believed that Gillette is really the best quality shave a man or a woman can have for the money. I based this on my experience with the sensor excel range. I recently was given the mach 3 razor and blades and I now know that Gillette are really masters at the art of blade production and shaver production.
The Mach 3 is the worlds first triple blade system. 1 blade cuts well, two blades cut even better by having the second blade catch ... ...this was a way for Gillette to sell a new range of blades that had three blades in them rather than two, at a slightly higher price and profit. But I eat my words this really seems to be the case. My shaving time has been reduced by a minute and my face is smooth and rash free, not something I always achieved with the sensor excel. I cannot prove this to you with statistics but I am very happy.
So where is the usual cabletow twist to this opinion. ...

...razor for me was the Gillette Mach 3. I had tried many disposable razor before this and all of them had their flaws, including itchiness, missing patches or tufts of hair and only finding them later or slicing into my neck like a butcher into a slab of meat. The mach 3 has none of these downfalls, it is the all round razor!

The razor looks really trends and modern. It has a steel inside, a core if you will, trimmed with a very effective ... ...get the extra blades but Gillette have given you all you will need for a good few shaves here at a reasonable price. So far so good, but how does it handle…
- Handling -
The mach 3 has 3 blades and a lubrication strip at the top. The head of the razor is on a sort of pivot so it moves to the shape of your face to give you a closer shave than any fixed-headed razors could. This means the razor is far more flexible than others and holds close to ...

If you have ever used normal everyday throw away razors, you will know what i mean when i say burn, kill, rip, and pull. Yep these 4 words come into it everyday, as these always happen when you do use dodgy throw away razors. This is why the Mach 3 is so good.

As i have said before, there is 3 blades to each razor you place on your mach 3, and these are so sharp, but yet you feel at ease using these knowing that you will not have to have tissues padded all over your face.
The other good thing i have found about these razors are that you can use them more than once, i used to use them at least ...

...can't speak for everyone using Gillette Sensor blades, but I've had enough of it. As the saying goes - 'There's plenty of fish in the sea' - it was time to move on and find another partner.
Reading a few ops on Ciao, I've decided to go with the flow and purchase a new Mach 3 razor and blade. I've known about the brand since its launch, but was put off by what I thought was an excessive price that was paying for those high-tec ads on TV. The RRP ... ...and two blades (one already attached to the razor stick) - sorry if I'm stating the bloomin' obvious. I went on a bargain hunting escapade, trawling the back alleys of Lincoln to find the best price in town.

Boots had them at £3.74 (special offer only), and I think a couple of discount ...

Advantages: Close and comfortable shave Disadvantages: Possibly a bit pricey
I like the Gillette Mach 3 razor. Not as much as I like drinking a pint of really good beer. But, I do like it. Let me explain why.
I am one of those unfortunate guys who grows a very thick and very dark super stubble. If I shave at 7am in the morning, I have a 5 o’clock shadow by 9am. No razor ever seems to be able to cope.
Over the years I have tried many solutions to this problem. I have tried two different electric shavers. Both were ... ...own supermarket brands, to the Gillette range. I have even given up on the whole idea of shaving by growing a beard. This is easy for me to do and seems to only take a couple of days. The trouble is I look quite ridiculous with a beard, as I’ve got very little hair on top. By the way, being a baldy I will be quite glad when the current outbreak of shampoo reviews is over :-)
This means I have little choice but to shave at least once a day ...

Advantages: The Mach 3 offers a close, smooth shave with very, VERY few cuts or shave bumps. Disadvantages: The replacement cartridges can be a bit expensive.
...strange and confusing place indeed!
Gillette has been in business for 100 years as of 2001, going about the task of making top-notch shave products and accessories (everything from razors and blade cartridges to foams and gels). They proudly boast themselves as the leading company in men’s grooming products, and for good reason! Their razors provide the best wet shave you can buy!

Gillette manufactures and markets the Mach 3 razor. Currently I have seen it in two styles: Chrome accented and a deep blue color. Either way, these razors are long lasting, with sturdy handles, a quick-release button for the cartridge heads, and a plastic holder for razor and spare cartridge blades. The razor costs about four dollars U.S. funds, and comes packaged with two extra cartridges. The cartridges clip into a special ...

Advantages: A great razor with a close cutting performance Disadvantages: Its price for blades
...I have found that Gillette seem to make the best quality razors. By this I mean they give you the closest shave without slicing your face to shreds.
The Excel has been a firm favourite for years but is now starting to lok dated compared to its more elegant and contoured rivals, of which I have tried. So I decided to give the New Mach 3 a try.
Basically, I am over the moon with my choice.
Why is this?

This is the cheapest I have seen them at Tesco. They also sell them at £3.98 for 4 blades so buying the bigger packet saves you money.
The actual razor itself is only 3 or 4 pounds but for that you only get one blade. The tray that holds the razor also holds the spare blades in the ...

Description
-----------
The Mach 3 is packaged with two blades. You buy the razor with one of the inter-changeable blades already fitted. The handle and blade come in a plastic holder, the rear of which houses the second blade. The body of the razor is silver metal with black rubber treads to allow grip when wet. The shaver head is the main selling point of the Mach 3 as it features 3 blades with ... ...second closer and the third closer still. A white line with a narrower blue line running through it acts as a guide to when you need to change the blade. The blue line fades as you use the razor. Additional blades come in packs of four and I'm sure that you can buy eight or ten but in the small town I live in, four is the maximum.
