Review on Gillette Mach3 Men’s Razor, 1 cassette, with 3 blades, stronger than steel, for precise shaving by Janis Saikovskis ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, more pros than cons.

From the middle of the 2022s, I've been utilizing MACH3. When fusion became available, I purchased it; but, since I did not see any unique benefits, I went back to the poppy. I had to replace the "sticks" multiple times because the rubber bands on the body peeled off, and I had to replace the plastic coasters because they had lost their appearance (at this time, shaving stands are no longer available for purchase, despite the fact that in the past, one could buy them together with the machine; however, this is a shame because they are convenient). Cassette tapes are always purchased with a profit margin. Incredible longevity was provided by the cassettes; it took an average of three to four months before the gel strip was worn away and the blades turned dull. The last time I purchased high-quality cassettes was in 2022 at the O'Key supermarket. I purchased 8 + 8 of them, and it was sufficient for a considerable amount of time. The cassettes were manufactured in Germany. After that, in the year 2022, I returned to the same store and purchased a set of eight cassettes that were manufactured in the United Kingdom. I was taken aback by the precarious nature of sharpening the blades; the cassette contained hardly enough blades to last a month, despite the fact that the gel strip was still in good condition. After that, I purchased cassettes that were manufactured in Germany; however, the results were the same; the maximum amount of time they could be used was one month. I decided to conduct an experiment on poppies, so I purchased a variety of tapes; however, there was no success. When I was going through some old things not too long ago, I came across an old Poppy 3 cassette. I decided to give it a try, but the gel strip dried out quite a bit, and it wasn't until after three or four passes that it became "soapy." Despite this, the blades are still sharp after two months of use. I tried every single product in the BIC brand that was available in 2022 and found that the quality of the razors was actually worse. The BIC Flex 5 hybrid, on the other hand, has virtually reached the same level of quality as the GILLETTE, and its cassettes have the best longevity. It is true that he is not a leader because he does not cause resentment.

Pros
  • Extremely close shave, and it didn't irritate my skin at all.
Cons
  • In the past ten years, there has been a significant decline in the quality of blades.
