Mach3 razor blades

Different types of Mach3 razor blades

Gillette Mach3 is available in several variants tailored to different needs and skin types. All Mach3 razor blades have three precision-ground blades and fit the same razor handle, but differ in comfort, glide and overall shaving feel.

• Mach3 Original – Classic three-blade cartridges with a lubrication strip that deliver a close and reliable shave for most users.
• Mach3 Turbo – An upgraded version with an enhanced lubrication strip and smoother glide, developed for more sensitive skin or denser beard growth.
• Mach3 Sensitive – Designed for men with sensitive skin, with extra focus on comfort and reduced irritation.

How often should you replace Mach3 razor blades?

How often you need to replace Mach3 razor blades depends on how frequently you shave, the density of your beard growth and how sensitive your skin is. For most men, one blade lasts between 5 and 10 shaves before the sharpness begins to decline.

A dull blade requires more passes over the skin and increases the risk of irritation, razor bumps and minor cuts. By replacing the blade in time, you achieve a smoother shave with better comfort.

Signs that it is time to change the blade

It is not always the number of shaves that determines when a blade should be replaced, but how it feels during use. Pay attention to changes in both shaving performance and skin feel.

• The blade starts to tug or pull at the beard hairs
• You need more passes to achieve the same result
• Your skin feels more irritated after shaving
• The lubrication strip is clearly worn or gone
