Sex and a razor blade

Advantages: a formula one razor
Disadvantages: expensive blades

...Somewhere in the deepest recesses of my mind it came to me that I had heard or read that men with moustaches have sexual problems. Therefore I decided to grow one immediately, the quicker the better: Errol Flynn had one and I wish I had half of his problems. However going around with a small hairy rodent on my top lip didn’t appeal to me so to shave it off! Many women out there won’t know that we men hang around pubs and spend hours discussing the relative merits and demerits of razors. The consensus of opinion is that the Gillette Mach 3 is the crème de la crème in the shaver world. One guy I know even goes to length of storing his in “Fairy Liquid,” to prolong a keen edge; I make no comment on this! Off to Asda to stock up with a new supply of blades. When I shop for razor blades I’m always in...

Review of Gillette Mach 3 Razor

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 great for the women sorry men

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

...I know I am a woman but have you ever tried to use a womans razor they are totaly rediculous. Between getting shaving rashes and cutting yourself open I am suprised I even have a body left to shave. I have used the other gillette rasors but they have not compared to this one not even the turbo. It is a trendy black and silver sometimes a blue stripe can be on them, it comes with a holder but can also be purchased as a single rasor and if it comes with the holder you have two blades. I know that £5 for a rasor seems a bit far out thats why many of us only buy our dads them at christmas, but come on how many men do you see with sliced faces and pouring of blood but they always get that close shave. I invested in one of these about 8 years ago when I first started shaving it was great for the bikini line and around the knees it just...

Review of Gillette Mach 3 Razor

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...

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

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

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

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...

Review of Gillette Mach 3 Razor

Three Blades Nice

Advantages: Fewer Strokes and fewer cuts
Disadvantages: none

...Well I have been using Mach three for about 2 years now. Before then I was just using a normal blade from Tesco’s. But my woman was always on at me about my chin ` ooh it hurst` she would say. I used to shave every morning and after a hard day at work I used to come back home and she would always say `its like sandpaper, have a shave` I just kept saying I can’t help it its not my fault. I even had to use an electric shavor at night just to keep her happy. But I always like a wet shave better. I realised something had to be done so I went out and had a look in boots to try and find me a decent Razor. I already had an idea on what I wanted and I wanted to have a look at the Mach 3 as I had heard some good reviews from people, not to mention the advert on the Tele got me hooked. So with a little look at them in boots I...

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...
