Gillette Razor review

[Ohkeh]

As a female I use men’s razors to shave legs and body and used to use Gillette Mach 3 but when I press down hard the blade flicks off as it’s not attached as well. I bought Gillette aqua grip and I don’t mind it.

The exfoliating bar seems to be a gimmick. The blades that do the shaving are the same in both razors. As well, the exfoliating blade cartridges are significantly more expensive with no valid reason for the increased costs. Gillette are masters at ripping off their customers.

[sevedbaathus]

Do a comparison of the power versions, please!

[RobertNES]

The Gillette Atra Plus, Sensor Excel, Sensor 3 and Mach 3/Turbo were the last Gillette razors to be sensible. But Gillette and Schick got into a blade war in the early 2000's and well now we're at a point where Gillette has no other way to go then to add things onto an existing design. The Fusion has been modified to death.

After all this I went back to the basics and started using an Atra Plus again with a nice Aluminum handle. The shaves I get are great and the cost of shaving is way cheaper now. Gillette and all the others have gone crazy with cartridge prices.

Thanks for the honest opinion bro! I was so tempted to throw out my fusion after seeing some shilled-out youtuber saying Labs give a sharper shave and so much better than fusion etc...It's all marketing afterall they are both made of 5 blades no wonder they shave the same

[stevehayes]

You should do a comparison with the fusion 5 proshield power against the labs exfoliating razor

[soots-stayingoutofthespotl]

I'm not sure about the razor, but what this review does do is sells me on the Labs *shaving* *gel* .

@alroydify -
a few more questions if you don't mind please:
1) Which do u like better: Proglide regular or Proglide Shield (yellow catridge) and why?
2) what brands + model names do you like best for DE Safety Razors (handles)?
3) what DE safety razor shave soap or shave cream do u like best?
4) what regular shave cream or gel do u like best?
5) if you use shave oil by itself or with shave cream: do u need to wash your face with soap when done shaving to get the oil off to avoid acne or just get rid of the oily feeling???

good review and comparison. i ended up getting the exfoliating bar before this vid came out. like you said its more of just a redesign. its just a design update only not a performance one. the exfoliating bar id say is just a skin stretcher..they are probably trying to reduce cost so they can make more money on replacement cartridges. i predict they will come out with a power version of the exfoliating razor next as they are reducing new circulation of power fusions 5's. i don't clean shave much, . i usually use a beard trimmer and keep stubble. when i want a clean shave i circulate between cartridge and DE. so i hardly buy new cartridges

[peyifte]

What do you think of the Proglide Chill? I used it for lining up my beard and my cheeks and neck area feel cooler after shaving.

[LearningAndGrowingInLife]

Thanks Ally.

I have been using Gillette Proglide for many years (not used a safety razor). Wondering what's your favorite razor (Cartridge or Safety), favorite cartridge razor and favorite Gillette cartridge razor?

[Wayfarerpilgrim]

I found that the exfoliating bar razor cartridges were sharper, I get about 10 shaves out of the cartridge. But at 25$ a tray of 4, stupid price. I like the pro glide, but it starts to tug at fourth shave, and it’s 22$ for 4 cartridges. The Mach 3 turbo was the best and they just should’ve put a trimmer on it and called it quits.

[AquaanixxOfficial]

Thanks Ally.

Great video, thanks for detailed review. Am using mach3 and was thinking of upgrading to Gillette Labs. But am having sensitive skin on both face & neck. Whats your review for people like me having sensitive skin & shaving every 2 days.

[almirmerovic]

I went back to the proglide. The cartridge on the labs razor is wider and feels less precise.

[Zwikster]

I really love that stand for the Labs but will probably choose the heated version for that extra level of comfort and pleasure

[RonVichar]

Have you gotten good longevity pit of the cartridges?

[horseUTU]

some says after doing in labs, burning sensation in there in skin for long time ... is it so ?

[mathiashammar]

Just an update. If you look at the backside. Labs-blades got 5 support bars. to hold the blades. Proglide only has 3 of them. So that could mean a closer shave . But also more abrasive if you got sensetive skin. But for sensetive skin Gillette has "SkinGuard Razor" that is dedicated for that purpose. For me im using Philps-9000 every day to avoid skin issues. Then i top it off a close shave once a week with a Razor. Using Labs-razer for everyday i would have blisters all over my skin. I need 3 days for skin to heal up.

[manborn]

I chose the gl exfol but what is your beard length limit to use this ? Less than 1 inch?

[shikhiragarwwal]

Can you interchange the blades between the two ?
