Gillette Mach3 Value Pack: Handle + 12 Razor Blades

How do you clean your Mach3 blades?

Mach3 blades are simple to clean. After every few strokes, simply rinse the cartridge in water. Repeat this regularly to remove any trapped hairs, so you can continue to enjoy an efficient shave. Rinse your cartridge more thoroughly when you've finished shaving, then store your razor somewhere it can air dry, such as on a Mach3 Razor Stand or Gillette's universal mini hanger. Always avoid tapping your razor on a hard surface or wiping it on a towel because this can damage its precisely built blades, shortening their lifespan.

How often should you replace Mach3 blades?

The Mach3 cartridge is designed to offer up to 15 comfortable shaves. If the blades feel duller than usual or the Lubrastrip has worn, it's time to change the blades. Click the easy-release button behind the cartridge and take a new one from your value pack. Attach the handle to the cartridge; when it snaps into place, you'll hear a click. You can also use Mach3 Turbo 3D blades, since they're designed to be compatible with Mach3 Turbo handles which have a grey/metal finish. Note that these cartridges are also interchangeable with Mach3 razor handles in black or a Mach3 Start handle in blue for complete versatility.

Gillette's landmark stronger-than-steel blades

Mach3 blades are made from high-quality stainless steel, strengthened with atomic carbon to help keep them sharper for longer. With its 3 blade construction, a Mach3 cartridge can cut through each hair up to 3 times with each stroke for a classic smooth shave.

Lubrastrip, blade springs and microfins for a slick shave

At the front of each blade, a microfin guard stretches the skin, helping to flatten the skin's surface ahead of the blades. Mach3 blades rest on springs, allowing each blade to react to subtle changes in the skin's surface, moving up and down when necessary. When the Lubrastrip is wet, it releases cushioning lubrication onto the skin. The combination of these 3 features results in a slick, smooth shave.

An ergonomic handle for grip and control

The Mach3 comes in light grey and black. The handle is ergonomically designed for a comfortable and precise shave, featuring easy-grip elastomer lines to help prevent slippage when wet. This helps to ensure control at all times. The Mach3 handle is compatible with all Mach3 blades.

Front pivot for ease of movement

The Gillette Mach3 razor has a front pivot, meaning that the handle is fixed to the cartridge in front of the blades. This front pivot mechanism helps to distribute pressure more evenly across the cartridge and away from the blades. Mach3 blades are also very easy to clean, thanks to the open architecture of the cartridge.
