Mach3 Macht's Gut

Advantages: excellent result
Disadvantages: none

...Unfortunately, no, fortunately for me, I can’t include results of self-experiments as I’m not a hairy type, not even for UK&Ireland standards where many more women shave their legs than in Germany, I trust my husband who chanced upon MACH3 - I had bought it for him by mistake - and has been faithful to the product ever since. For the readers who don’t know German and the ones who slept during their German lessons: The title of my op is not bad IMHO, no, to be honest, it’s dead brill IMNHO, it’s a play with words: ‘macht’s gut’ meaning in German ‘does it well’, echoing the name of the product and stressing at the same time the name Mach, which should be pronounced the German way as Ernst Mach was an Austrian, i.e. ‘a’ like the ‘u’ in bus, ‘ch...

Review of Gillette Mach 3 Razor

mach 3 great for the women sorry men

Advantages: Close shave no chunks taken out of your skin
Disadvantages: can be expensive

...glides accross the skin and the protective strip makes the skin feel so smooth afterwards. I have not yet managed to catch my footballers knees and get a dredded cut or managed to take a chunk of skin away from me. It has a flexable head that moves with the contors of the area that you are shaving and it gets so close you cannot feel any hair on the area you have shaved. I always use soap when shaving still just to give me that extra protection against the blade because they are very sharp as I found out when cleaning it and cutting my fingers open. The one blade will usually last me 3 to 4 weeks depending how often I shave which isnt too bad the cheap disposable ones have to be thrown away after one use not that you would want to keep the brutal things, but to replace the heads on the gillette that is where the cost is for 6 blades...

Mach 3 - King of Shaves

Advantages: Very Close Shave
Disadvantages: Replacement blades are quite costly

...Having to shave every day can be such a chore. Just think of all those extra minutes I could have in bed every morning if I didn?t have to shave, but unfortunately I am one of those people that needs to shave every day. Until recently I used to use an electric shaver because I thought it was easier and quicker but that was before I discovered the Gillette Mach 3 razor. The Gillette Mach 3 razor has been around for quite a while. It was launched in 1998 as the world?s first triple blade razor and has since become the world?s most successful razor, but what is the secret of its phenomenal success? To begin with its initial success can be put down to some very clever marketing and advertising, but beyond the hype there has to be a decent product to keep people coming back. I have friends who are on their fourth or fifth Mach 3 razors...

Man I Feel Like a Woman--Cool Birds Use Mach 3s

Advantages: cheaper than women's razors, close shave
Disadvantages: not as pretty as women's razors

...Back in the dark ages when I first started shaving my legs (OK, it was the 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, Marisa wrote a letter of complaint to the Gillette Corporation. A few weeks later, she received a coupon for a free women's razor. She brought it to a shop and folded it such that it seemed 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...

Review of Gillette Mach 3 Razor

Return of the Mach.

Advantages: Good, clean and smooth shave.
Disadvantages: Expensive razor and blades.

...Shaving is one of the classic school boy dreams which turns into an adults nightmare! This was the one myth that really haunts us lads ? shaving is not cool. I remember at school the rumours going round: "Oi, did you 'ere that spotty Patterson has started shaving" "No - he can't have?!" "We'll I reckon I'm going to have to soon if he has" (you know, just so wishing you were) - yeah, yeah - perhaps it was the boy's version of starting your period? Knowing what I know now I would have given spotty Paterson the thumbs up rather than the cold shoulder for being that 'more mature than me'. The fact is I HATE SHAVING!!! However, the reality is that I have no choice in the matter, meeting clients with a twelve o?clock shadow might not the give that first impression I try to achieve. Enter the Gillette Mach 3. This was...

Mach III - still the best you can get

Advantages: Shaves closer than any other razor I have ever used. Fewer strokes mean less cuts and longer lasting blades. Great range of branded products to compliment the razors.
Disadvantages: Replacement blades are relatively pricey and your girlfriend will love using it for her legs!

...If you are one of those men who have been suffering all your life from those small little nicks and scratches during shaving, then this is the product for you. Tired of those small pieces of toilet tissue stuck to your bleeding face every morning? So was I! That is until I went back to Gillette, the people who most possibly made that old razor you first started using as a teenager. Triple blade technology is not just another cheap marketing ploy; for once more is definitely better. Allow me to take you on a quick trip through the design. A Mach III blade consists of the following: - A small lubricating strip (which actually works!) - Three carefully aligned razor blades - A row of five small fins The Dynamics ------------ As you pull this technologically advanced razor along your face, the following is supposed to...

Review of Gillette Mach 3 Razor

SO MACH O

Advantages: Close shave, durability
Disadvantages: My wife and her theiving mitts

...I try to shave as little as possible. It is a task I hate doing, and if my wife would accept me complete with bushy beard then I would be happy, but she won't, and I am frequently nagged to have a shave. I have tried electric shavers and most disposables, but I never seemed to get a close shave, and the shaving rash I used to get made my face look sore. Last year after a shopping trip, my wife brought home a promotion pack of a new razor made by Gillette, which has cost her a reasonable £3.19 as I recall. Not one for media advertising, the publicity campaign had passed me by, but I thought I would give this razor a try anyway. That razor was the Mach 3, and I have never looked back since. I only wish I had found this razor when it was released 5 years ago. The pack consisted of the razor and 4 replacement heads, along with a holder...

Review of Gillette Mach 3 Razor

Back to Mach III

Advantages: Cuts in less strokes, cuts close, quick.
Disadvantages: Slightly more expensive than the others.

...After moving from an electric shaver to a Sensor Excel (twin blade) I was pleasantly surprised. When I upgraded again to Mach 3 when it came out, I was simply amazed compared to the Sensor Excel. A much closer shave resulted and it was quicker too. The blades last longer as well. The small strip which lifts the hair before the blades cut is also a great idea and even though you might not think it would be comfortable, it's fine to use. I'd tried the disposable types but they simply cut my sensitive skin. With the Mach 3 I can put the gel or foam on fairly quickly and shave quite quickly against the direction of the hair without it cutting my face. Recently on grounds of trying to save some money I tried the Wilkinson Sword triple blade system but it just doesn't feel right in the hand (too light) and also the blades seemed to...

Review of Gillette Mach 3 Razor

PS3 slim

Advantages: Blu-ray, free online, nice extras like vidzone & iplayer. Almost silent operation
Disadvantages: Rubbish controller, still expensive, online nowhere near as good as xbox live

...Well, had the slim for a few weeks now (my 1st ever playstation), personally, I'm a little underwhelmed by it, I've been a gamer since the nintendo game & watch days & owned @ least 1 of the current gen consoles since the Mega Drive(Genesis). Graphically the system has the potential to wipe the floor with the 360, but this is really only going to apply to PS3 exclusives as any software house making a multi-platform game is going to be as cost effective (lazy) as possible & use the same graphics on all the games where possible(ok, they need to dumb them down for the Wii). My problem here is that I have yet to get a game for it that runs in 1080P, they all seem to be in 720P! Why???? I'm sure they are out there, but I haven't found one yet. I guess this is down to most HD tv's being HD ready rather than Full HD. Sound-Yeah, ok...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (PS3)

Im a girl and I use a mach 3 but im proud of it

Advantages: smooth shave
Disadvantages: not that different to the normal mach 3

...Ok so I'm gonna give a slant to this whole mach 3 thing. Im a girl. I have never used something which gives me such a good shave, im so smooth and for longer. I started off using it because my dad gave me his old one with a blade because I couldn't be bothered to bring my gillete venus home with me from uni on weekends. So the first few times I used it I noticed something different, it was so much kinder on my skin, the stubble grew back less harsh and hairs did not seem to grow back as quick either. Now I've got a mach 3 turbo, although there is not much difference between this and a normal mach 3 apart from an extra lubricated strip. As you can see a lot of thought went into how to make it different from a regular mach 3!!! Because of the 3 blade business and the extra lubricated strip I have never had a nick or a cut...
