Review on Gillette Mach3 Reusable Shaving Razor UEFA Champions League Grey/Black by Minoru Korishige ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The item is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

Been using MACH3 since mid 2022s. When fusion appeared, I bought it, but not seeing any special advantages, I returned to the poppy. I changed "sticks" several times due to peeling rubber bands on the body, changed plastic coasters due to loss of appearance (now shaving stands have disappeared from sale altogether, although earlier they could be purchased together with the machine, but it's a pity - it's convenient). Cassettes always bought with a margin. The durability of the cassettes was amazing - an average of 3-4 months, the gel strip was destroyed before the blades became dull. The last time I took high-quality cassettes in 2022 in the O'Key supermarket, 8 + 8, it was enough for a long time, made in Germany. After that, in the year 2022, I bought a set of 8 cassettes in the same place, made in GB. I was unpleasantly surprised by the fragility of sharpening the blades, the cassette was barely enough for a month, although the gel strip was intact. After that, I bought cassettes made in Germany, but the same story - a month is the limit of use. For the sake of experiment, I bought different cassettes for poppies, there is no result. Not so long ago, going through old things, I found an old poppy 3 cassette, I decided to try it in action, the gel strip dried out a lot, only after 3-4 shaves it became "soapy", but the blades are sharp after two months of use. I tried the entire BIC line available in 2022, at an affordable price, the shaving quality is worse. But the BIC flex 5 hybrid has almost matched the quality of GILLETTE, the durability of the cassettes is on top. True, due to the lack of irritation, he is not a leader.

Pros
  • Very clean shave, no irritation.
Cons
  • Blade quality has gone down a lot in the last 10 years.
