GilletteMach3 Turbo Men's Razor

I've used Mach III razors for years, and the first thing I noticed with this one is that the grip on the handle isn't rubber, it's just a moulded plastic. With wet hands you want to be very careful, as it feels like it could slip at any second.

I have 2 DE safety razors, a Gillette Fusion, Fusion Power and Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5. The only main razor I have not tried is the Mach3, which everyone seems to rave over. I though out of curiosity I would give it a try.Yes, it is more expensive than a DE safety razor, but the cartridges are cheaper than the Fusion or Wilkinson Sword ones. If you love using a DE razor, lets face it, you will hate this because mainly the cost, but also the feel of it in your hand.I find it a nicely balanced handle, the blades are set further apart than the 5 blade, making cleaning and rinsing easier, less blogging. I find it does not glide over the skin as easy as the Hydro range, and not quite as close as the Fusion range, but this is a happy in-between for me. Its not the best cartridge razor, I believe that lies with the Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5, but it is good and cheaper blades make it a good alternative.

I have shaved my face and my head for over 25 years now, and this is the best razor I have used in all that time, for me it's perfect and I will never ever change it that's for sure. I own two, that's how great they are.I have one in the shower room and one I have in a wash bag in my sports bag for when I shave after a swim, sauna & a steam room at my local leisure centre. 5 stars is not enough, it should have double that. I use a gel foam with it for perfect results.

This is NOT the Turbo model that is currently being sold is shops, in fact I am unable to find this model anywhere else being described as being a Turbo rather than a standard model Mach3!!!

A good razor at excellent price
