Gillette Mach 3 Review (vs Gillette Labs w-Exfoliating Bar)

- The Gillette Mach 3 has been around for nearly 25 years. For many it's the first triple blade razor and represents a standard. In this video we're going to take a look at the Gillette Mach 3 and compare it to today's newest model, The Gillette Labs with Exfoliating bar. We're going to see how the two match up and give you our unfiltered opinion on which razor represents a better value.
I switched over to DE blade shaving years ago…blades cost $10/100 to $30/100 and last 5 shaves for me. A rule for DE shavers is getting a BBS shave with as few strokes as possible for a comfortable shave. The Mach 3 has 3 blades…the fusion has 5. Running 5 blades over your skin is just going to increase the probability of irritation and ingrown hairs. Several of us consider the Mach 3 to be the best compromise if you are using a cartridge razor. I still use a Mach 3 for finishing up the hard to get 5% after DE blade shaving…..lower neck…under nose…chin area. I use about one cartridge every 3 weeks to a month. I have an Edwin Jagger mach 3 handle in ivory which is just gorgeous and feels great in the hand. It cost $40 but is pure class….puts the Gillette plastic/rubber handle in the shade. Shaving with a good DE razor is a pleasure now…instead of a chore.
I have been using Mach3 for more than 10 years and its one of my favorite razor. 😊
The mach3 is definitely a serviceable razor and it think is pretty good for the price. Big thanks for checking out the video and commenting!
Female here and I don't use as many razors a year as you guys do, so decided to go with the Labs. Thanks for the very useful review and not sure why they make razors gender related. The biggest difference I found so far is that "Female" razors are more often plastic and cheap quality vs male that are metal or other more premium, sturdy material. Sure, they do not smell like flowers, but why would anyone care anyway, its a razor, not a perfume.
I agree 100%. I think you’re probably right that sturdier and higher quality razors are going to be made for guys. It’s probably a good strategy for women to shop mens razors.
I think the Gillette Labs gives a great shave but I also think it might be overkill for shaving body parts other than the face. I also think there may be product that can do the job well for cheaper. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I've slowlyprogressed fron the Trac 2, Mach 3 then to DE since 2004 then decided to try out the Proglide power. WOW, what a shave. Aside from the quickness one can shave with it I also noticed a lack of any razor burn over ten shaves. Occasionally I'll get that with a DE. Not once with a Proglide power. Incoming is the Heated razor. Excited to try out all these razors after a near 20 year absence from cartridge shaving. I've been somewhat impressed.
I’ve never tried a powered razor, I definitely need to try one out.
Big thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience. I like a good DE safety razor too however the experience of some of these cartridges is interesting. There’s some great options that’ll work well for lots of guys.
So glad my vibrating handle is still working. One doesn't have to go through so many passes, moving the razor more slowly. And the sawing action allows blades to be usable for a long time.
I'm using the Mach 3 disposables now and they're great. I started using the Mach 3 in 2005 and to me it's better than the Fusion. I've been shaving since 1999.
I used the Mach 3 disposables for a long time! I used to find them at a better price than Mach 3 cartridges. I thought it was great, especially for the price. More recently I haven’t been as big a fan of disposables and prefer cartridges. Something about the cartridge feels more solid. Still the Mach 3 is a classic!
Thanks for watching and sharing!
Mach 3 is my favorite razor ever. I also use the Harry's razor because the blades last 10x longer than the Mach 3. I start out with the Harry's then use my Mach 3 for the fine areas. Haven't tried the Gillette Labs razor yet (got one for Christmas with a $10 coupon I can use for extra blades) but I'm going to have to see how well it works compared to the Harry's razor.
Ooh let me know what you think? I like the Gillette labs better than the Mach 3 and Harry’s but I don’t think it’s so much better that it’s worth the price difference over the others.
Thanks a bunch for watching and leaving a comment!
Hi Larry! Another outstanding review! Back in the day I used the Mach 3 and also fell into Gillettes marketing for more blades, but the Mach 3 is probably the best. But I’m going back really old school and exclusively use a Gillette 195 (fatboy) razor or the Gillette Slim, both are adjustable and take DE blades that can cost as little as $7.00 for 100 blades, depending on the brand, you just need one sharp blade. Check out the Leaf twig razor and the blades will last longer as this razor takes a snapped in half DE blade:))
RK! What's up sir?! The leaf twig is definitely on my list. A few guys have mentioned it so I definitely want to try it out. Speaking of, how do you snap the razors in half?
@@fitnessnbeer9835 Hi Larry, you can snap the blade while in the wrapper, there should be some videos on TH-cam. You basically fold it; it will bend and keep going until it snaps. Also leaf sells blades that are already in half. They send you 5 in a pack with the razor. Also Shark brand sells half blades. I prefer to snap the blade so I can use many brands.
@@fitnessnbeer9835 Larry, leaf makes the twig and the thorn, the thorn is a bit more aggressive and I prefer it, but the twig is nice too, they are both the same price.
@@Shaverboy516 cool that’s my next safety razor try. Right now working on the Merkur 34c. This razor thing is a true never ending wormhole🤣
Much appreciate the suggestions!
@@fitnessnbeer9835 Larry you officially have RAD (Razor Aquisition Disorder)😁We all have it. The 34c is a great shaver, I never tried it but have similar razors with that head.
Like your video sir very informative for me I always use Gillette Mac 3 I've always used this razor pretty much my whole life I'm 61 years old and I love that you love Mach 3 always been my favorite razor
I think the Mach 3 was a revolutionary razor and is still a very good option today, especially for the price. I don't necessarily think it's the best cartridge shave but I do think it can compete with the best. Thanks a bunch for checking out the video and sharing your thoughts!
MACH3 just worths for few moments. Expensive for what they are.
Just started a new set of MACH3 blades. I inserted the handle into one of the blade bit and took the bit out of the transparent plastic case. Started by washing my face and then put some of that pressurized foam from the bottle on my face and massaged it against my face. Used the MACH3 blade starting from below my nose gently and usually cleaning the blades from the foam+hair against the water. It's fine for the 40-60 runs until start noticing that the blades are starting to bend. I can hear the cracking noise when I touch the blades with the tip of my thumb and I can feel blades moving while crackling. Lucky me that my shaving session is almost over. Sometimes single bit can last 2-4 sessions and then... the blades are awfully bent that my skin gets angry.
I am a long MACH3 user and it's always the same thing. I have a drawer full of bits with bent blades. Useful to take furr out of clothes.
I tried Wilkinson. These had two blades... Horrible blades... The hair always stuck between the two blades... It's like grasping your faces with your own face hair...
I also tried Fusion... same destiny as MACH3. I didn't even try the 6th blade.
I just wished that us men had some inexpensive treatment to make the hair not grow on our faces. Women complain about their menstruation but it's nothing compared with shaving every 1-3 days starting our teen youth until the rest of our lifes and gets worse each year. When we get our face cut with a blade, the mark will there forever. It can heal but it will be there. If we keep use nasty blades... the face will just continuously healing until starts to say enough and starts hitching and not healing properly while hair keeping growing faster and thicker with the age.
I think you make some great points. Shaving takes effort and getting cuts is definitely motivation to look for the most effective and comfortable shave. Fortunately even thou I still feel shaving is a chore I do enjoy it on some level.🤷🏾♂️. There’s a certain sort of zen to the process and afterward I feel rejuvenated.
Big thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience!!
That was my first razor, I remember being really pleased with it, I still have the Kent badger hair brush that I used with it. That brings back some memories 😄 nice video, thanks
Thank for checking out the video. The Mach 3 will always have a special place with me because I feel like it was a standard for sooo long. And it’s still not too bad considering all of the options we have these days.
I switched to a double edge razor about 1 year ago. While I had to invest in high quality artisan shave soaps, a double edge razor and blades, lathering bowl, and brush,. it was well worth the investment. Making your own lather with a shave brush is so easy and makes your face feel great during and after the shave. The double edge razor, like the name suggests, have two sides to the blade that you flip over once one side gets full of lather. I do a 3-pass shave every 2nd day. I used to hate shaving because I always felt I was getting ripped off by Gillette so I would shave long past when the blade should have been replaced. The blades I use now are actually made by Gillette but cost a fraction of what cartridge razors cost. Once blade costs about 25 cents and lasts about 4 shaves. The advantages of shaving with a DE blade are numerous: 1) lower costs for blades, 2) closer shave with less irritation, 3) by using a high quality soap and brush your skin will feel amazing after the shave, 4) DE blades do not contain any plastic so they are much more environmentally friendly.
It takes me longer to shave doing a "traditional wet shave" but to me it is worth it. Spending time in the bathroom let's me think about the upcoming day and when I leave the bathroom, my face feels fantastic. I encourage you to go online and shop companies that specialize in selling wet shaving products. They can be very valuable resources. I have done extensive research on razors, blades, soaps, brushes, and shave bowls. If you have any questions, let me know. I don't have any affiliate links. I just want to be exposed to a fantastic way to shave, much like how your father and grandfather used to shave.
The only reason Gillette developed the cartridge razor was to make you believe they were better than DE razors. Nothing could be further from the truth. Gillette is the largest manufacturer of double edge razor blades in the world. In countries, where people have much less disposable income, DE razor shaving is still alive and well. I encourage you to make the switch. You will be glad you did. It comes down to dollars and cents. Cartridge razor blades are very profitable compared to DE blades.
When I travel I usually go with carry on luggage. Sadly then I have to take with me a cartridge razor as DE blades are not allowed in carry on luggage. They can be packed with checked luggage.
Have a wonderful day.
Yo big thanks for sharing. I agree that a DE safety razor can be great solution and an economical way to shave. I actually enjoy the feel of a safety razor (when I don’t cut myself, lol) and usually opt for a safety razor when I have plenty of time and can enjoy the shave.
However I think cartridges are gonna be a better option for a lot of people. I think safety razor require patience and touch. And in lots of ways a cartridge can he easier.
So far my favorite Safety Razor is the Merkur 34c. Big thanks for watching sharing your story. Much appreciated!!
@@fitnessnbeer9835 My pleasure. I use a Henson AL13 mild razor. Very easy to transition from a cartridge.
@@robertross8565 Ah I’m doing a video on Henson AL soon. Hoping I like it better than Merkur. Their website is impressive and I’m really excited to use it consistently. Thanks again!👍🏾
@@fitnessnbeer9835 Looking forward to seeing the video
Used to shave with that... Thing... Until I started using a Double edge safety razor. Now I have a great shave, no razor burn or ingrown hairs. cartridges, never again.
Seems a lot of guys have great success with DE safety razors. Super glad you found an affordable solution that works well for you!
I appreciate a good safety razor but I also still have success with cartridges. I find I prefer a safety razor when I want to enjoy the shaving process. But I prefer a cartridge when I’m in a hurry to get it done.
Thanks so much for watching and sharing!!
Great review Larry, excellent info and observations. Currently use Harry’s but looking to try others.
Great review. I love DE razors, but I still use the Mach 3 sometimes. I decided to do my own super test, and it gave me 24, (yes 24) comfortable shaves so far. That's a two-pass shave every time. So, Gillette is right claiming the blades will give you 15 good shaves. Again, DE shaving is cool, but when it comes to cartridges, Mach 3 is the king. No tugging, no cuts, no irritation. Just a great razor. And for me, no need for more than 3 blades.
But the key is to enjoy whatever type of razor you're using. It's all fun.
Huge thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience.
Yes the Mach 3 gets the jobs done. Still very serviceable after all these years.
Great channel! Subbed. Back in the day I used Bic disposables and then skipped straight to the Fusion in about 2007, somehow missed the Mach 3 out. In that time I got into DE razors and have many great vintages. I tried the Mach 3 recently and it's superb, a great cart, better than the fusion imo. I would use a DE anytime, but the Mach 3 runs close for a Tech-like daily shave, using a brush and a good soap or cream.
Thanks for watching, commenting, and subbing! The Mach 3 is a classic in my opinion and kinda where this whole proliferation of multiple blades thing started. And I think it’s still a respectable shave today. I also like a good DE Safety razor but I find that I reach for the DE Safety when I’m not in a hurry (which isn’t that often) and want to enjoy the shave. Otherwise I reach for a cartridge.
Thanks again for checking out the video!
I stopped using Mach 3 for a long time (never used Fusion 5 or the following ones) when I came back the cartridges dropped in quality. They don't have the same quality as the 1998 ones. I guess it was because Procter and Gamble bought from Gillette.
The most surprising thing is that the Mach 3 blades were superior to the Shick Quattro. but now it's the other way around. Now the Gillete ones cause irritation to me and the Shick ones have improved a lot.
I like the Schick Quattro blades better too. The funny part is I’m not a huge fan of the Hydro 5 blades. I feel like the Quattro had a nice compact design and worked well.
I think the Mach 3 holds up okay for the price. It’d be interesting to have a pack of replacement blades from 98’ 🤔 to compare.
Big thanks for checking out the video and sharing your thoughts!!
I got a fusion proglide razor free when I purchased a Braun series 9 trimmer... I used it once only because I'm curious...wow how much fun I was missing..until this I thought trimming was easier than shaving, but shaving with this, is just so much more satisfying...😅 I will order that Gillette labs thing once the price normalises...
Huge thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience! It’s going on 3 years and the cartridges are still $6 per. I really like the razor but don’t like the price.
Awesome review! Personally I don’t find more blades a bad thing in general, I just find more blades don’t agree with my face, I’ve experimented with a lot of different razors and I find myself continually going back to the Mach 3, I don’t really get razor burn with it and Ingrown hairs are always kept to a minimum. My last experiment with another razor was with Harry’s and it was horrible, felt like my face was on fire afterwards. At this point I’ll probably be sticking with Mach 3 for life.
Thanks a bunch for watching and sharing! I can definitely believe the Mach 3 is the winner for you. It's a quality razor especially for the price. I definitely learned that everyone is different and different unique things work for different people. I think it's cool that you experiment. I def worth occasionally taking a flyer on a razor. It's the repeated investment in cartridges that's expensive.
@@fitnessnbeer9835 Most definitely, glad I stumbled upon your channel, videos like this are helpful for a lot of people, keep up the good work! Definitely gonna be checking out other reviews 👍
@@gavinrivington4918 Man thanks so much, I really appreciate the support! I try really hard to be helpful and make the videos interesting.
I've noticed in the past couple of years I've had to buy a few replacement Mach 3 razor handles at times because for some unknown reason the cartridge stops sitting correctly on my face to shave and just drags without doing anything. The razor looks fine but I think the pivot mechanism is not as robust as years gone by., has anybody else come across this same problem?
Hmmm I wonder 🤔. I lost my old Mach 3 razor handle and did think the one I purchased for the video felt lighter and cheaper. But I chalked it up to my Gillette Labs handle being so much heavier. But that does make me wonder if the design has changed?
Big thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience!
I just ordered the Gillette Labs razor and 20 refill cartridges. Not cheap, but I'm excited to try it out. I currently use the Fusion ProGlide & Proshield and they're outstanding. I'm not a fan of the original Mach 3. The blades are duller and I get nicks & skin irritation when using it. The Mach 3 Turbo is much better, but still not as good as any 5-Blade Gillette razor imo.
You got the Gillette labs with 20 refills? Must have been pretty pricey. I haven't seen packs of 20 refills, only quantities of 4 and 6. I personally really like Gillette labs and think it's a great shave but it's just too expensive. Also agree with you on the Mach 3 Turbo, I think it's better.
Thanks a bunch for checking out the video and sharing your thoughts!
@@fitnessnbeer9835 @FitnessNBeer My brother was using the Mach 3 for a long time, so I sent him 20 Proshield cartridges, a handle and now he's hooked, lol. The Gillette Labs costs the same as the ProShield. $50 for 8 cartridges.
@@fitnessnbeer9835 can i ask why you think the turbo is better I might try those blades next
I’m a female and use the Gillette Mach 3+ razor to shave my legs
@@Ohkeh640 I like the Mach 3 Turbo better because it feels more comfortable to me. The difference between The Turbo and regular Mach 3 are the Turbo has a different handle, larger lubricating strips, and coated blades that are supposed to last longer. If you’re shaving your legs I think the lease expensive option will do. I don’t think these subtle changes will make much difference in an area less sensitive than your face. Thanks for your comment! Hope this was helpful!
not sure if its quality control but the mach 3 turbo is rough...old mach 3 gillette blades from 90s were smooth
Mach 3 would make you feel like you’re in high school all over again
I’d say the GilleteLabs appears to be better, but the value comparison to the Mach 3 is likely to be poor due to the 2-3X refill cost
I agree with this comment even tho I think you get more mileage out of each Gillette Labs cartridge. But still I think the Mach 3 is a better value.
Thanks so much for checking out the video and sharing!
I think they're both great.The only difference I really find is that I like having this single blade at the end of the blade to do some touch up's and the mach three doesn't have that. But at the end of the day they both do what there met to do shave hair so 🤷 if you know what i mean.
Huge thank for checking out the video and sharing your experience.
Ahhh you like the precision trimmer! I can never use those and always do my detail work with the blade 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏽♂️. I do like the Labs better, I’m just not sure I like it $6 per cartridge better.
I personally like having the precision trimmer on the back of my razor. So i wouldn't get anything older than the Fusion 5. It's difficult to decide with razors because Gillette is so expensive and other brands like Harry's, Dollar Shave Club and Schick don't work well if you have a tough beard. I've used many razors including double edge razors. While Gillette is expensive i will admit it's usually the smoothest shave.
Huge thanks for checking out the video and sharing your thoughts!
I can see how many people like the precision trimmer. I personally am not so skilled with it but still nice to have. I agree with everything you said except I find Harry’s, DSC, Schick, etc mostly serviceable but not great. Generally I too think Gillette makes the best razors.
But I meant to say that I love the Mac 3 razor for me a three bladed razor is enough I am not a frequent shave er , I usually shave once a week sometimes even more than that once again thank you for your video
Still one of the best cartridge razors. I wish I could get the Mach 3 Power! I recently revisited the Exfoliating bar razor and I don't care for it as much. It's almost too aggressive, hurts a wee bit.
What’s up sir?! Great to hear from you. Hope you had a great holiday weekend!
I’ve had a good experience with the Gillette labs but I get it. Doesn’t surprise me that it doesn’t work for everyone. The Mach 3 is a classic but never tried the power. How is it?
@@fitnessnbeer9835 so, on initial pass the Labs works great. On a secondary pass, or touch ups with the Labs, I found it to be a little rough on sensitive skin. Never noticed it as much before. Maybe it was a dull blade, I didn't look into it too much. However, with the cost of Blades, to just swap one out isn't as easy on the pocket as it is with a DE. The power is nice. Gimmicky? Maybe. You can still find power in the Fusion, but to find one in M3 is now around $100. How is it? From what I recall (over 20 years ago) it is very smooth.
@@carolinabarbershop Gillette is a dodgy company the new mach 3 turbo blades are not smooth like the 90s mach 3 blades probably so their 5 blade line seems smoother
@@hassyg4083 you know, everything has to "improve", right?!
@@carolinabarbershop nothings improved really in the world of shaving just marketing
For me, the Mach 3 is better. It's light, compact, you can store it anywhere, it doesn't irritate my skin like the ProShield, and the cartridges aren't insanely expensive (like the ProShield! you can buy an electric shaver for the price of 8 Proshield cartridges). as many say, gillette should have stopped at mach 3
Respect that opinion! The Mach 3 is the answer for a lot of guys. I believe in finding what works and the answer for everyone is different. More blades and more money does not 🟰 better.
Thanks a bunch for watching and commenting!
I'm sure the Mach 3 was released in the UK in 2003 unless I'm wrong?
I've been using mach3 since it first came out in 98. Been using it every day since. Before mach3 I used the sensor Excel.
I’m right with you! I used the Sensor Excel too but long after the Mach 3 came out because it was cheaper, LOL. But the Mach 3 was definitely better in my opinion. And it’s still respectable today. Thanks a bunch for checking out the video and sharing!
@@fitnessnbeer9835 I'm about to try a double edge and see how it does. I bought the king c Gillette. Fixing to use it here in a few minutes.
Glad you're highlighting some which we all suspect have razors actually improved since the DE? maybe for speed cartridge razors thats it. DE still gives the least irritating shave when you master how to use one. Gillette is abit of a dodgy company. I've tried the mach 3 turbo 3d idk if its quality control but the thing gives uncomfortable shave nothing like mach 3 from the late 90s..are they doing this so the 5 bladers seem better? idk
Interesting thought? 🤔. Wish I had a package from the 90’s to compare. It’s not crazy to think that they’ve changed the manufacturing process.
I like DE safety razors but truly no razor is perfect. I’ve had success with different cartridges but I recognize they’re not for everyone and same with DE. Thanks a bunch for watching and commenting!
The Mach 3 just WORKS. I use it with Harry's shave gel.
Agreed 100%. Also, I like Harry’s shave Gel and their cream in the tube too.
Big thanks for checking out the video and sharing!
Approximately how many times can I use the same razor blade?
Depends on the thickness of your hair and how frequent you shave. The more you shave and the thicker you hair then the quicker you are going to wear down the blade. Generally a cartridge will last you a week for optimal shaving.
What’s the difference between Gillette Mach 3 and Mach 3+???
You can get the Gillette mach 3 for $5 AR Tj max
That’s what’s up! Great price on a respectable razor! Thanks for watching and sharing.
try leaf twig for head shave
Hassy G what up sir! Thanks for commenting! I def want to try the leaf twig! It’s on my list of razors to try sooner than later.
lol i paid 3.77 a razor the other day for the Gillette labs. A years supply of course but if I have to pay 5-6 bucks next year for the same razors because I can’t get the same deal I’m just gonna get super cheap fusion 5 carts and use the free Proglide handle I got. The only reason I won’t go Mach 3 is because I can see how 5 blades would technically last longer and for more shaves than a three blade. I’m no scientist like you, but I’d also say 5 blades might also allow you to do less passes on your face. That’s just my two cents.
Huge thanks for checking out the video and sharing your thoughts.
Personally I definitely get more shaves out of a Gillette labs cartridge than a Mach 3 cartridge. I really like the Gillette labs but simultaneously thinks it’s overpriced. Even with the extra durability I think the Mach 3 will come out more affordable for most. But I do think the Gillette labs is a more comfortable and efficient shave for me. Oh and that’s a great price on the Labs!👍🏾
@@fitnessnbeer9835 Mach 3 is tempting for the price 🙌
Neither one compares to a DE razor in my opinion! I purchased a 110 pack of Gillette Wilkinson Sword Saloon blades for under $7!! Thats under 7 cents a blade, not dollars!! Plus, once you purchase even an average DE razor, it will last a lifetime!! There is no comparison on cost!! With a DE, you have so much less irritation with only one blade across your skin instead of several!! You won't get ingrown hairs either. You can purchase a nice, vintage Gillette, such as a Superspeed, for $10-$20 and never have to purchase another one again!! Get a low cost shave soap like Arko, Colonel Conk, RazoRock, Proraso, etc and you'll get some of the best shaves over those high priced cartridge razors and canned gels!!! Your skin will love you for it!!
What's up sir! Thanks a bunch for watching and commenting. I 100% know you're a safety razor guy! In fact your suggestions inspired me to try out safety razors. I'm working on a video for the Merkur 34c which is my second DE Safety Razor. (It takes a while because I like to spend time with a razor before sharing opinions) I personally think a DE safety razor is a great way to shave, especially for people with patience that are also willing to experiment with different razors and blades to find the right combo. Also, agreed that after the initial purchase a DE can be super affordable.
However I don't think a DE is for everyone. I think a cartridge is a little more thoughtless and in lots of ways easier. It's kinda like the difference between getting a real Camera and just using your smart phone. Lots of people are good with just their smart phone for photo and video. But for people that really appreciate photography, and really want the ability to control the image they capture, or professionals; they're going to want a real camera. In this case the DE safety razor is the real camera.
Going to try Henson and then Leaf next? What do you think of those 2 brands. And def going to look into the soaps! Thanks again for the suggestions!!
@@fitnessnbeer9835 You will love both! The Leaf Twig is what I would recommend for you! Now if you like the cartridge feel and pivot, go with the Leaf 3 blade. You get the benefits of using low cost DE blades with the cartridge feel and pivot. The Henson is a no nonsense shave with terrific feel and efficiency! You cant go wrong with any of them in my humble opinion.
Mach 3 turbo is still one of my favourite razors Mr Larry.
I think the Mach 3 was revolutionary and is still pretty good today.
Yo big thanks for checking this video out and commenting! I really appreciate the support!👍🏾
My apology for the spelling
Brilliant Video Thanks!!!!
Huge thanks for your comment and for checking out the video. Truly hope it was helpful or insightful!
What shaving cream do you use??
Historically I’ve used cheap Edge shaving cream from the can. But lately I’ve been experimenting with different shaving creams including Gillette, Harry’s (in the tube not the can), and Nivea. I plan to try a few others but I like the Nivea best so far.
Thanks for asking!
Can you put Mach3 blades on the Lab razor???
Definitely not. I’m not sure why’d you’d want to do that? The handles aren’t the expensive part.
Big thanks for checking out the video and asking!
Good Video!!! I love Gillette products lol. I am willing to pay their prices to get great products. The Mach 3 is a great razor.... I still use one on occasion. This Gillette labs razor is NICE though. I typically use a Fusion 5..... Gillette's marketing has always been full of gimmicks lol. When it comes to shaving, I'll pay the prices..... because that's something I do every single day. If I shaved once a week I might buy a cheap razor.....
Thanks a bunch for checking out the video and commenting! Agreed 100%, I think Gillette makes good products too. And also agree that their marketing can be gimmicky.
I think the Gillette labs works great I just don’t think it’s worth the price tag. 🤷🏾♂️. It’s better but not that much better.
Yes it with it 100%
There are a couple of Amazon sellers that sell generic Mach 3 cartridges like off-brand ones and you can get 20 for $14 😇
Thanks for checking out the video and sharing this information!
Fusion 5 no pivoting head just proglide
I can rock with the Fusion 5, it’s not bad at all. My fave however is the Gillette Labs but it’s so expensive.
Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your thoughts!

I try to make the videos interesting and helpful! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great video! 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks a bunch for watching. Your comment is much appreciated!!👍🏾
those new gillette razors destroy my face leaving red everywhere and then dried up skin. Mach 3 for life
I respect the Mach 3, it def gets the job done and is not terribly priced. But I also really like the Gillette labs, it works well for me both smooth and efficient. Fortunately, no irritation.
Huge thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience!
Considering buy Gillette from Amazon, chances are that you may get counterfeits . So I’m staying with Mach 3 because of the weight of the handle and if I want to shave faster and don’t care about wearing the blades out faster, I turn on vibration.
I’ve never tried one of the powered razors. Are they worth it? I think the Mach 3 is still a decent razor in 2023.
Thanks for checking out the video!!
Gillette Vector is good enough. It's a two blade razor from Gillette.
Never tried the Vector. I had to look it up. Does it still sell?
Just compared the two ,labs shaves depper and last longer .
Agree with you 100%! But even still I think the Mach 3 is respectably comparable for the price. I think the Gillette labs is better but I don’t know if it’s worth $6 per cartridge.
Thanks for checking out the video and commenting!
Always and forever Mach 3

This other makes me feel very young or very old I was born july 1998
Funny how two things that are very much the opposite can both be kinda true 🤔. I’d vote for young! Thanks for commenting!!

DE safety razors beat em all! Multiple blade cartridges lead to razor burn & ingrown hair. Cartridges & multiple blade disposables pull hair off your skin instead of cut it. Grandpa's way is still the best
I hear ya and think DE safety razors are a great way to shave but I don’t think it’s the best solution for everyone. Also agree that the single blade can help alleviate irritation for many. Lastly grandpa new a thing or two! Thanks for watching and commenting!!
