Customer Reviews

Old and Dangerous
I will not purchase these blades ever again. Upon receiving, I noticed that the packaging was slightly faded and when you open up the actual blades, the gel coating (the strip of green/blue) had actually MELTED on some parts of the blades. This concludes that the storage facility of these products are not the best of conditions, which will harm the performance of the actual blades against your hair.

It gave me cuts and provided a more intense sting on the facial skin than blades usually do.

Avoid.

Dull blades
A friend told me that he buys his shaving blades from Amazon so I gave it a try. It was cheaper. But not by much once shipping was included. These Mach 3 were the worst blades I ever used. I have been shaving with the Mach 3 for many years and although these blades were new in the box, every one of them hurt my face. All 16 of them. It seemed like they were defective or something and I had to throw them all away. Will not buy blades from here again. I never had a problem with the same blades bought from a retail store.

Resharpened Blades?
I purchased the Gillette Mach3 Replacement Cartridges (16-pack) through Amazon from MZPhoto on December 16, 2008. I didn't want to review a product I had not used yet. I purchased them because the price cannot be beat and I was running low in my supply.

I have been using these blades for a couple of months now and I find the blades terrible. Like another reviewer described them, you have a more comfortable shave from a kitchen knife. I thought maybe we (my wife and I) had a few bad ones so I keep using them. ALL of them are bad. I have to shave every other day with these so my face can recover from the burns that result.

Earlier than December, my wife had seen a blade sharpener on TV and ordered it. I tried it a couple of times before throwing it in the garbage. The sharpened blades would last one shave and then cut skin. These blades that I assumed new out of the box are the same as my previously resharpened blades. I wonder if the purchased blades are truly new or re-packaged sharpened blades. I refuse to believe that Gillette would themselves put out such an inferior product.
