Gillette's Mach 3; A Product Review

Right before Thanksgiving, I received a sample of Gillette's Mach 3 disposable razor in the mail. In the past, I have used many Gillette products for grooming. I remember using the double edge for the first time years ago. It did a very good job. Many razors were copied from that design.

Lately, I have been using the Bic razor as well as some cheap razors from Dollar General. The reason is cost and disposable.

However, I decided to give the Gillette Mach 3 a go. I discovered that it did two things very well that I liked. First, it gave me one of the closest shaves that I have ever had. Second, it delivered a very fast shave. I was able to quickly cut in hard places around my face. I found that I could shave in a lot faster than when I used other razors.

It is called the Disposable Jetable for a reason. It is easy to get rid of and provide for a fast shave.

The handle that is on the razor is curved with finger grips on it. The blade itself will slightly swivel as you shave your face. This allows for easy access to hard to reach areas like around the nose and lips.

Another quality that I liked was the comfort it provided. There was no nicks or scratches. Many times when I shave, it is very easy to get a nick here or there. With the Gillette Mach 3, that did not happen.

I have used the same blade now for five days. I am going to see how many shaves that I can get out of it before I switch blades. Most disposable razors that I use are good for about four to five shaves.

Along with my free sample came several coupons for other Gillette products. You can learn more about Gillette products at their web site www.gillette.com.

Like many men, a close and smooth shave is very important to me. Many times I am in a hurry in the morning. I need to get in and out of the bathroom quickly. The Gillette Trac 3 provides that opportunity.
