When I received the Gillette Mach 3 razor, I was somewhat skeptical after many failed attempts with similar razors. My opinion quickly changed after using the razor, and I am satisfied that this is a razor of quality. I did not experience any irritation as the razor pivoted around every curve of my face leaving me with a clean shave. I have carefully examined this razor and would classify it as a durable, high-performance razor.

The Gillette Mach 3 gave a great close shave on the first stroke. I didn't have to go over the same area more than once!

The Gillette Mach 3 Razor has some good innovations. First, a blue strip fades over time to tell you when to change the blade. This is great for those of us so asleep in the morning that we can't remember when we put on the new blade. Second, the handle shape makes holding and maneuvering the razor much easier. Unfortunately, the Mach 3 does not give a close shave, especially if you only shave with the grain like I do. The head is too big (almost twice as tall as a "normal" razor) to shave effectively under one's nose. Because the blade was made as maneuverable as possible, the razor won't stay tight against your face. Thus, the shave is not as close as with the Sensor or Sensor Excel. In the end, I would stay stick with the Sensor or Sensor Excel for the best shave.

It was cool. While the unusual design takes some getting used to, the shave is excellent. I have very sensitive skin, and I usually shave in a hurry. Needless to say I can only use the best blades on my skin or I spend the day suffering. I am pleased to say that this razor is superb. Close, smooth, and non-irritating shaves each time. Definitely a keeper. You have a new customer.

The Mach 3 gave me a better shave than the Sensor Excel I was using before. I especially like the razor's range of pivot; it makes it very easy to shave around the chin and nose. I would definitely recommend the Mach 3 to a friend.

This razor is pretty good, and shaves pretty neatly. I think it is better than the previous Gillette razors like Sensor. I got a good shave every time with it, and definitely would recommend the product to a friend.

The Mach 3 is by far the most comfortable razor I have used, especially on my oversensitive neck. The shape is different and it took some getting used to, and it continued to feel awkward under my nose. Comfort aside, it doesn't give the closest shave of the stick razors I've used. I guess it's a trade-off between comfort and closeness. If you shave daily, this won't be an issue. The overall price is comparable to other stick razors.
