Not true MACH 3 Cartridges

2008-07-23
It took 12 days for the cartridges to arrive. I have been using a Mach3 since they were released. These blades look like Mach3 blades and come in a box for Mach3 replacement blades, but they must be counterfeit. I had to put my old blade back on my razor until I can go buy replacements at the local drugstore. Save your money, a single blade razor is far better than what is being peddled here

a good enough shave

they do the trick. i cant believe razor blades in general are so expensive but this package is not a bad deal. i use each blade about 15 times before i replace them although they do dull out after about 8. but i am a very frugal and poor person so i cannot afford to replace them like a prince. overall though a good value.

These still work great-no need for 5 blades that I see

These still work great-no need for 5 blades that I see. I use these with the newer vibrating handle, they give a nice close shave and cost much less that the newer ones...

Mediocre and Overpriced

2008-03-14
Unfortuantely, these mediocre and overpriced blades are probably the best shave that most people will get from the mass produced blades and shaver systems. It gives a better shave than most 2 blade razors I've tried (Excel, etc.), and 3 blades is about the most blades that I can use on a razor and be able to get to all the nooks and crannies on my face - thus I don't recommend the Fusion or any other razor with more than 3 blades. Here are a few other points:

1) For thicker beards, these blades will rarely last more than a few shaves before you feel the tug and pull leading to razor bumps.

2) I do give these blades credit for the flow through design allowing hair and residue to be rinsed through the blades without clogging them; but, then again, why do you need 3 blades in a razor? With an exceptional blade, you should only need one to cut your facial hair.

3) Another design flaw with this razor (as well as most razors) is that the "fins" or whatever they are called, on the bottom portion of the razor head (that supposedly "prep" your beard) actually scoops away the shaving cream before the blades have a chance to touch that portion of your face - so now you have 3 blades being pulled across inadaquately lubricated skin. Trust me, you need the shaving cream there when the blade scrapes across.

4) I would recommend getting a classic double edge razor. My wife has noticed a huge difference in my face and neck - no more razor burn! I can shave everyday now. I prefer a Merkur double edge razor which can be found on Amazon or you can do a google search for "classic shaving" to find them for cheaper. The blades will usually run about $5 for a ten pack, and one of these super sharp blades last about a week for most people. Think of the cost savings and the benefit to your skin if you only gave up purchasing the ever increasingly expensive and insane multiple blade cartridges.

Just above average

I would have given these blades three stars but because of the high price tag, I only give them two.

The Mach 3 system does not perform much better than the average disposable system. Not worth the money, it does not provide the shave experience promised.

Works just fine, but not cheap at all

I get 4-5 shaves with each razor, after that it causes pimples. I find it too expensive, but there is no better alternative.

Very consistent

Once in a while i have strayed to other products but in end always have returned back to mach3.

great deal

I shave... I needed razors... best to buy in bulk... these are a good deal

Awesome Value

2007-09-17
No one ever "taught" me to shave, so I don't really know how long to use each one. But shaving my head (full head of hair) and my face with these is awesome. I think I over use them a little bit, but one cartridge lasts me for like two, three months. (Shaving my entire head once a week) I've used them for about three years and have gotten an extremely close shave every time. Not once have I cut myself using them.

3 blades that shave your face... or whaterver.

The razor blades arrived only two days after I ordered them. The box and blades seemed a little bit cheaper than what I would buy in the store, but they work just fine. The cartridge fits onto my existing handle and provides a smooth shave. Seems like a good deal to me considering what they cost at the grocery store.
