Q: Did the top razor strip change from white to blue?
submitted by GG - 11 months ago
A: The color change is due to the upgrade of the MACH3 Cartridge Lubrastrip. The new strip features enhanced lubrication properties and is now a darker blue, solid color. This improvement not only signifies a change in appearance but also indicates a better performance in terms of lubrication during shaving.

A Gillette Razor Across Three Generations
Dear Gillette Team, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the quality and durability of your products. For more than 40 years, my family and I have been loyal Gillette customers. There is one story in particular that illustrates what the brand means to us. My late father used the same Gillette razor handle for many years before giving it to me as a gift. I then used and carefully preserved it for more than 20 years. Recently, my eldest son turned 15, and I passed that same razor on to him. I told him its story and asked him to take good care of it—not merely as an everyday object, but as a family keepsake with great sentimental value. The fact that one Gillette razor has remained with our family for so many years and can now be used by a third generation is a remarkable testament to the quality and durability of your products. I have used Gillette razors exclusively for many years and remain a truly loyal customer. I would be delighted to have the opportunity to visit one of your factories someday and learn more about how these products are made. Perhaps, many years from now, my son will pass this same razor on to his own son, continuing a family tradition that began with my father. Thank you for creating products that not only stand the test of time but can also become part of a family’s history. Warm regards, Isaac Oliveira

Disappointed
Just opened this product and claims to have three blades and there are only two. I pay for a product that I expect to receive and I am disappointed to have been ripped off.

After 40+ years moving on to sharper pastures
Grew up on these blades. At some point I changed to Venus. Venus blades recently started to give me rash and ingrown after 1 use! I decided, “I’ll just go back to Mach 3”. What a surprise that these are also USELESS now. You C Suite geniuses that got big bonuses for profit increases (by lowering quality) have lost a 40+ year customer, and her partner another 40+ year customer, and her daughter 15+ year customer. Yes—- you’ve completely ruined the product. We just compared notes and we all came to same conclusion. No, it’s not just a bad batch, you’ve actually ruined the products! It’s all over the internet too. Not just us thinking this. Bad move C Suite, bad move. Shrinkflation would’ve been better, less cartridges per box and I’d have stayed your customer. I would have just paid more if the quality was still the same. Now I’m on the hunt for sharper pastures. Goodbye, Gillette, it was good while it lasted.

New Blue Conditioning Strip is a Horrible Mess
The new design is horrible. I've used Mach 3 razors since I first started shaving. I'll be switching to something else sadly unless they switch back to old design without the blue, goopy conditioning strip.

New lubricating strip makes it unusable
I just got a refill with the “new” lubricating strip. Wow. To say it’s a downgrade is not enough words. I have tried three different shaving gels and the lubricating strip just turns into this goo that completely clogs the blades. I have been unable to get a normal shave because as the blades clog they don’t cut anymore. So unless you want to rinse the blade after less than 1.5” of travel on your face, then avoid. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’ve been using these for more than 20 years and I’ve never come across such a downgrade before.

We are truly sorry to hear about your frustrating experience with the "new" lubricating strip on our Mach3 Blade Refills.

Saving with a butter knife
Been using Gillette for 47 years and Mach 3 since it existed. Recent shipments feel like I am shaving with a butter knife. Same shaving cream. Only the blades are supposed to be brand new. Clearly a change in shaving comfort, for the worse.

Not Impressed
I've always used Skinguard or Proglide, but everything has gotten so expensive I decided to go with a new and improved Mach 3. It leaves nicks and cuts on the face and it's not a pleasant experience at all. I don't know what is "new and improved", but it isn't this. As always with Gillette, you kept your premium pricing! Never again.
1 reply from Customer Care team - 4 months ago
We're truly sorry to hear that your experience with the "new and improved" Mach3 has been so disappointing, especially after being a loyal Gillette user of Skinguard and Proglide. It's completely unacceptable that you're experiencing nicks and cuts, and we understand your frustration with the product not delivering on its promise, especially given your concerns about pricing. Your long-standing loyalty means a lot to us, and we deeply regret that this product has not met your expectations for performance or value. This is certainly not the new and improved experience we want for our customers. Your feedback regarding both the performance and pricing is extremely valuable and has been noted. Please feel free to send us a direct message with more details about your experience, or contact Gillette directly at 1-800-445-5388. We'd be happy to discuss this further and help find a Gillette product that provides the comfortable shave you expect and deserve.

Quality has fallen through the floor, no longer usable
I've been using Mach3 since I started shaving and they have been consistently fine over the years. They keep trying to revolutionize the razor by adding more blades and other paraphernalia and features over the decades, but the Mach3 was an old stand by that you could always count on to simply do the job. Recently the name brand cartridges have become borderline unusable. Out of the box they are uncomfortable, after a few uses they are downright painful. Target had some self-branded generic refills that were marvelous. I bought some on clearance and fell in love with them. Now that they don't sell them anymore and I had to go back to the Gillette brand, and I realized that I had been putting up with garbage. It's completely unacceptable to pay name brand prices for the worst quality. For the first time in two decades, I'm looking for a new razor.

Unhappy with new Mach 3 blades
I have been shaving with mach 3 since they showed up on the market. I have been very satisfied until this last bulk pack. I shave every day and used to get 2 weeks out of a blade. With these new blades I am getting 2 days and that isn’t a comfortable shave. I am quite unhappy with the changes that were apparently made.

DON'T BUY THESE YOU BEEN WARNED!
I've been buying these razors for years, my partner used to use these, and I decided to try them out and loved them! These were once among the best on the market, but now they are the absolute worst! I would buy these in bulk, and now I wouldn't even bat an eye at these. You can only use these razors about 3-4 max times before they start to get difficult to shave, and you have to press harder on the skin, which will cause irritation. Shaving should be smooth to do. These have turned out to be like some quick disposable shavers. I am never buying these again! The company has cut back for the worst! Their razors are no longer superior. Don't bother buying these. The good reviews are from the past before the downgrade of their product! Any new reviews are fake!!! Trust me! I mentioned this to my partner and even he said they're terrible now. I can't talk about their other razors; I haven't tried them, but only on this one in particular. To be honest, I wouldn't care to try them. Once I finish these, I will finally be done with them and move on to the next brand.

What's up with the goopy lube strip?!
I've been using Mach3 blades for years and just opened a new pack. I was curious when I saw the deep navy blue lubricant strip on top. When I started shaving in the shower I knew immediately you had changed the product. What's the deal with the goopy lube that comes off the strip? Glad I was shaving in the shower to easily wash this off. Terrible change.
