I started useing the Venus for women by Gillette...sucky. It never got close enough, especially under the arms.

Women have more places to shave then men, you'd think that companies would realize this and get one on the market that work as well as mens. In the mean time, I used these shaver tips because they're the best I've ever found to get in those "hard to reach" areas. The Venus had to larg of a head and the blades don't reach as far as the Mach 3 Turbo.

The only thing I have in the complaint arena is that these shaver tips are VERY expensive. They have seemed to gone up even in the last few months since I bought the last time

I am a female that has used Gillette razor blades for about 15 years on my legs. I usually go with the normal Gillette Mach 3 cartridges for myself and husband but this last time, I bought Mach 3 Turbo. Unfortunately, I think these razor blades are made to go dull 30% faster, hence the title of my review. At first, I thought it was just me, but as my husband and I are wading through the 8 pack of blades, I asked him if he thought they go dull quickly and he agreed that we seem to be going through these blades much faster than normal. He also felt that they shave they give is not different than the Mach 3. I think that the regular Mach 3 are a better value and give a closer shave. It seems with these blades that the lubricant strip wears out after 2 or 3 shaves and the blade gets really dull after about 5 shaves (and remember, I'm a female with regular leg hair--not burlyman leg hair).

      Nice smooth shave. It's a superior product but I think they are still too expensive. Shame on you "Gillette".

        Don't Waste Your Money

        Pros

            Comments about Gillette MACH3 Turbo, Refill Cartridges, 8 ea:

            These are obviously counterfeit blades. The longest one lasted was 3 days before it needed to be pitched. Razor burn occurs after the 1st shave. I ended up throwing away 4 blades because they would not stay on the handle. I was fortunate to be able to return the unopened packages or I would have wasted twice the amount of money. [...]Makes me question all the other products offered by [...].

                My husband shaves his head with these, and shaves his face (he has a goatee). He thinks they're fairly expensive, but drugstore.com seems to have consistent price, rather than grocery stores that keep increasing the price.

                  Comments about Gillette MACH3 Turbo, Refill Cartridges, 8 ea:

                  I have been buying these blades for years, with relative satisfaction in the cut, though wishing the blades itself would last longer. However this new production was completely unacceptable. The new colorful packaging includes, with each set of blades, a picture reminding you to change blades when the Aloe strip loses color. However, not only did the strip lose it's color faster, but the blades themselves dulled significantly faster. Obviously, this would represent a significant increase in cost to the consumer since you would have to change blades much more often. No thanks! Clearly, it's time for me to move on to another razor/blade - and that will definitely NOT be another Gillette!

                    These are the only razor blades my husband will use. I've purchased just the Mach 3 - but he refuses to use anything but the Mach 3 Turbo - he says the blade cuts closer and he doesn't have to shave as often. I started using them to shave my legs and I have to agree.

                      I am 59 years old and have a heavy beard. I have never found a blade that could shave my face as close as I want or as close as the barbers of my youth. This blade is no exception.
