Gillette Cartridge Razor Reviews
Gillette Mach3 Review – Are Three Blades Better Than Two?
The Gillette Mach3 is likely the first cartridge razor that many men began using in the 1990s. It’s still the best seller in the USA, despite all the other razors that have come to market since the 90s, including any Gillette’s.
Gillette Mach3 Turbo Review – Is It Faster or What?
The Gillette Mach3 Turbo cartridge razor is an upgrade from the Mach3, offering slightly enhanced features. Do these improved features make a difference with the shave? We wanted to find out if paying the extra money for the Mach3 Turbo cartridges was worth it.
Gillette Fusion5 Review – An Aggressive Close Shave
Gillette introduced the Fusion 5 to the market in 2006, surprising people with its five-blade razor, which they thought was enough with three blades. The Fusion5 shares many similarities with the Mach3; however, we also identify some significant differences in our review.
Gillette ProGlide Review – An Upgraded Fusion?
After the Fusion5, Gillette then introduced the Gillette ProGlide. It was first called Fusion ProGlide, but it is now sold as the ProGlide. This Gillette cartridge razor model features a thicker lubrication strip and a slightly larger handle, which has a futuristic look with a cool gunmetal appearance.
Gillette SkinGuard Review – Does It Help Sensitive Skin Type Gents?
Another razor made by Gillette, which stands out from the others, is the Gillette SkinGuard. This is only a two-blade razor that offers more skin protection than most other razors. This razor is designed for men with sensitive skin.
Gillette ProGlide Shield Power Review -A Pulsating Cartridge Razor
If you thought a cartridge razor could not be electric-powered, then that’s not completely true. However, the electric power of the ProGlide Power does not do the shaving work for us; it just assists with vibrations.
GilletteLabs Exfoliating Razor Review — is It Worth Buying?
The latest razor range is the Gillette Labs series of cartridge razors from the world’s largest shaving company. The selling point, primarily for the Exfoliator Pad Razor, is probably obvious — exfoliation. Great handle on this razor; however, not everything is great about this shaving tool.
GilletteLabs Heated Razor Review –More Gimmiky Than Useful & Effective?
Heat while shaving is always a positive contributing factor to the shave experience. However, any positive feature always comes at a cost, and the cost of the GilletteLabs Heated Razor is quite costly. However, this is a shaving tool for those willing to spend on luxury.
Gillette Mach3 vs Mach3 Turbo – Which is the best?
We took a closer look at these two razors, the Mach3 and Mach3 Turbo, to determine the differences between them and then sought to find out whether these differences actually made a difference. A side-by-side shave can usually help work out which shaving tool is superior to another.
Mach3 vs Fusion 5 — Which One to Choose?
The Gillette Mach3 was the first three-bladed razor, and then the Fusion5 was the first 5-bladed razor introduced by Gillette. Both have their advantages and disadvantages worth considering.
Gillette Labs vs ProGlide – Which is the Best?
This pair of razors was perfect for a head-to-head comparison to determine which cartridge razor was superior to the other. Gillette often introduces new products, but is it worth it?
Gillette Fusion5 vs ProGlide – Differences Compared Side-by-Side
These were two ideal cartridge razors with which to make a side-by-side comparison. The Gillette Fusion 5 and ProGlide share many similarities. However, there are some significant differences between them. What we wanted to know was if the enhanced features of the ProGlide made a difference when shaving.

Harry’s Truman Razor Review – Affordable, but it needs to Shave Good
Okay, enough of Gillette for now; let’s take a look at another brand of cartridge razors. The Truman is the only razor that Harry’s sells, although they also offer the Winston, which features a different handle.
BIC Flex 5 Hybrid Review – Are The Savings Worth It?
The Bic Flex 5 Hybrid was an interesting razor to use and review, as it appeared to be more affordable than others on the market. However, a razor still needs to shave well, even if it’s cheaper, right?

The Schick Quattro was worth testing and reviewing, and rightly so-it’s a good choice of razor for those budgeting on blades. The razor leans toward the mild side when compared with others
Dedicated Head Razor Reviews

The HeadBlade Moto is a dedicated cartridge-type razor for head shaving. This was a product we had high expectations for, and we thought it would be something that would wow us. There was some disappointment.
HeadBlade ATX Review – A Dedicated Razor for Balding Gents
The HeadBlade ATX resembles a children’s all-terrain 4×4 toy, except it lacks the rear wheels. It’s another dedicated razor from the company HeadBalde, featuring a different design, although much of the razor remains the same as the Moto.
HeadBlade Moto vs ATX – Which One Is Best?
We tested and shaved with both the HeadBlade ATX and Moto, and then sought to determine the differences and which one shaved better, or had features that worked best. Both models are very similar, but there are some differences.
