Mach3 Macht's Gut

Advantages: excellent result
Disadvantages: none

...’ like the ‘ch’ in Loch (Ness). Don’t believe British/American encyclopedias which tell you otherwise! What has Ernst Mach (1836-1916) got to do with razor blades? Nothing really; he was a physicist and philosopher, born in Brno, Bohemia, Professor at the German University in Prague and Vienna. He conducted research into optic, acoustic and thermodynamic matters and established an important physical quantity - the Mach number, Mach3, to be precise. Aha, now we’re getting nearer! No, not really, lo and behold: Mach3 defines the ratio between speed of an object and the speed of sound in the medium in which the object is travelling. An aeroplane has the velocity of Mach3 when it is travelling at three times the speed of sound as measured in the prevailing atmosphere. Men, picture yourselves in the bathroom...

Review of Gillette Mach 3 Razor

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...

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...

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

...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 to the two that the previous model (the Sensor Excel) has. So, if you wanted a razor with three blades, it had to be a men's razor. Since that time, Gillette has come out with a three-bladed women's razor called the VENUS, but I don't feel the need to switch to the women's version since the Mach 3 works just fine. The third blade really does make a difference. Any hairs that are missed by the first two are chopped down by the third. I definitely have to shave less often now that I have made the switch from...

Review of Gillette Mach 3 Razor

Return of the Mach.

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

...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 gives off a sort of confidence even before you start 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...

Review of Gillette Mach 3 Razor

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

...still sharp, whereas in the past she would have left me with a razor that cut my skin to ribbons. Cleaning of the razor is a pretty simple affair. The blades are not crammed together which gives you the advantage of being able to rinse between them and get rid of any residue. If you decide that the blade has seen better days or the lubrication strip indicates that you need to change the blade, then it is very simple to remove and attach a new one as the head has a click in/click out feature for the blades. I hide the blades for my Mach 3, as my wife decided that if it was so good, she wanted a piece of the action for her legs and various other crevices. Well if she wants it, she will have to buy her own. This is mine.....all mine, and they are certainly not cheap so why should I share them? A pack of 3 replacement blades currently...

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

Blade

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...Blade was first released in 1998, directed by Stephen Norrington, and starring Wesley Snipes as a half human half vampire, who's mission is to slay all the bad vampires of the world. When I first saw this film I loved it, I was a big fan of the comic books, and watching a big screen adaptation was just well worth the wait. I thought snipes was a brilliant actor to play blade, having seen his early films i.e. passenger 57, and demolition man, this guy is a awesome martial arts expert and can kick ass. If I was to explain Blade to anyone who hasn't seen it, I would describe it as a more violent, intense and action packed Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Plot: The film starts off really well; a young man is taken into a secret underground nightclub. At first he thinks everything is cool, then gradually realises this is not the sort of club...

Review of Blade (DVD)

No cuts with these blades

Advantages: good shave, last well, and all the other things I say in the opinion
Disadvantages: expensive

...I have sensitive skin and therefore alternate between wet and dry (electric) shaving. Wet shaving has often been a problem for me, I tend to cut very easily and also get a rash from wet shaving. I am left with two choices; either grow a beard (not for me) or alternate between wet and dry shaving. I first bought the Gillette mach 3 when I needed a new razor. I tend to try new ones in the hope that one day I will find a razor that will be better than anything I have tried in the past does. To be honest I could not see how three blades could be better than two, once the beard has gone it has gone. I am happy to be able to report that although these are expensive the results really are well worth it. I compliment these blades by using a shaving gel rather than the ordinary foam. The gel tends to assist in moisturising the beard...
