When the Mach 3 launched, the women in my family were taking the mens’ razors and saying how crappie their own women’s razors were. The Mach 3 was a big hit.
I still use it myself. I shave my head and the 3 blades is much easier to clean out. I do use a safety razor on my head first to do most of the work because the blades are dirt cheap. About £11 for 100 and they are made by Gillette as well. I bought these blades years ago and still got about 15 left.
I use the Mach 3 to go over again to catch any hair I may have missed. I use it on my neck as well.
Those multi-blades are a gimmick and I swear it’s to drive up prices.
I also use shaving oil instead of gel or cream. A single bottle lasts me months, a big saving there as well.
But then again I grew up in South Africa, I doubt Gillette would send us anything for free.
It is a smart way to get young men hooked on their product so that they never try the competition.
The blades I use are Astra which are made by the same company making Gillette blades, Procter & Gamble.
Hell, I actually did some work at their factory in Berlin many years ago and they were very specific about their name, it was drilled into me to use ‘&’ and not ‘and’.

Does Gillette still send razors to men randomly on their 18th bday?
First I’ve heard of it.
