Product Information

Confidence-Boosting: Boost your confidence with the clean and precise shave that Mach3 Razor Blades deliver. The MACH3 advanced Indicator lubricating strip has a blue stripe that fades away when you are no longer getting the optimal MACH3 shaving experience. For example, single-blade razors, or safety razors, generally cause less irritation on the skin because they graze it only once, rather than three or more times. However, some testers noted the Billie’s lubricant, while less gunky, felt slimier than the Swirl’s—one tester compared it to a snail trail.

This allows the razor to more closely contour tricky areas of the body, such as knees and ankles, which may mean you need to do fewer passes. It also makes the Original more travel-friendly: It’s less likely to stick to the blade cover included with the razor.

As with the body of any Venus razor, the Original’s body is compatible with any other Venus head and with many heads from Gillette’s facial razors, making it exceptionally versatile. The Original’s head has three blades separated by considerable slats of space, so it’s far easier to clean the head between strokes. This is a small detail, but it gave me pause when using the razor because it felt different in my hand than others on this list.

Know that, confusingly, the Venus appears for sale on some retail sites under the name Venus Close and Clean or Venus Smooth. The Original has a handle that’s easy to hold and to maneuver, thanks to a contoured handle with corrugated chevrons of rubber. The small head makes it easier to maneuver the razor in curved areas, but it isn’t as effective at removing hair in these spots as others on this list.Satisfaction Guaranteed: We stand behind our product, providing a satisfaction guarantee for your peace of mind. These high-quality razor blades are suitable for both men and women and are designed with advanced features like a glide strip for a smooth shave. The Gillette Venus Swirl is the most polarizing model we tested, but it’s also one of the most beloved. I wouldn’t say it gives me joy to use any razor, but the Original works exactly how I would expect,” one reported.

As with the Venus Original, you can swap in blades on the Swirl from any other Venus head and many heads from Gillette razors marketed to men.Our highly technical production process is a mix of traditional tools and skills fused with modern innovation. Some people find that three blades provide the right amount of closeness that they’re looking for and other people find that five blades are required,” says Monaco. Precision: Experience the precision and accuracy of Gillette Mach3 Razor Blades for a smooth and flawless shave. The blades themselves are easily available from most local retailers while the razors we offer are all expertly crafted by leading manufacturers, such as Edwin Jagger, Muhle and Bolin Webb.

Enjoy the extra comfort from the Gillette shaving gel, a spare blade in case you need to switch and a handy case to put all your items in. The men’s razor with Lubrastrip features stronger-than-steel blades that give you up to 15 comfortable shaves. Either way, we found that razors designed for facial shaving all have smaller, rectangular blades that are less equipped to handle the nuances of shaving a body, such as the broad expanse of a leg or the grooved valley of an armpit.Jessica holds a Bachelor's degree in journalism from Emerson College, and she's written for Scary Mommy, 7News, Boston. In a pinch, these disposables work fine, but you have to take your time and use plenty of soap or shaving cream to avoid missing hair or causing uncomfortable friction on the skin. A rounded, oval razor head: Shaving the peaks and valleys of a body requires a softer shape, so we prioritized heads without hard edges or corners, and those with a rounded face. So if you want to keep the rotating head but lose the gel, you can just replace the Swirl heads with a simpler, less expensive alternative. Exclusive DLC Comfort Edges… each blade has a unique DLC comfort edge, so MACH3 Glides effortlessly and comfortably across your face.
