Was not in stock locally so the shipping schedule interfered with my delivery and my other items were delivered with a1 or 2 day service schedule, great! My last item which was needed to make the order relevant was delivered yesterday almost a week later shipped via UPS and USPS which seems like a lot of extra time that ultimately resulted in a bad taste in the service.

Great device at armed robbery price
Hands down the best razor in my life, and I'd happily pay a third of what they're asking for this thing.

Great razor
Worked as it should cut down two days of growth it’s sharp feels like it’ll last. I love how thin the handle is makes it easier to hold. The blade is smaller than your average razor but don’t let that discourage you it does the job perfectly. The value is there to even replacement blades are very reasonable

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. We understand how disappointing this must be after two decades of loyalty, and the issue with the strip clogging the blades is definitely not the experience we want.

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.

Alan, we're truly sorry to hear that your recent Mach3 blade refills haven't met the high standards you've come to expect from Gillette over your 47 years as a loyal customer.

Can be used also when skipping a day of shaving and it does not pull or tug like others but definitely with freshly washed and foam or gel is applied.

The slimy polymer from the lubrication strip is disgusting. Change it back, fire the moron that approved it and spend more time on quality control or you'll be losing another customer.

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.

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.

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.
