Gillette Women's Razor Blades, 130 g

Product Information

The Gillette Mach3 Turbo is our Best Overall men’s disposable razors because it provides a close, clean shave for facial hair. Most often, you may opt for anywhere from two- to five-blade razors, all of which can provide a clean shave. Half of our testing panel named the Original as a favorite model, and unlike several others we tested, the Original is hard to hate.

And while the large pivoting head is helpful for shaving ankles and knees, it’s too cumbersome for shaving the bikini line.

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. The new blade is larger and therefore harder to maneuver into tight spaces, it has very little protective coating to guard against nicks and bleeding, and the pivoting hinge (which was supposed to be an improvement on the pre-2021 hinge design) feels stiffer than ever. Turning off the personalized advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive.

Jessica holds a Bachelor's degree in journalism from Emerson College, and she's written for Scary Mommy, 7News, Boston. 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. We also tried the Joy razor, which is available through a subscription service or as a standalone purchase. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.

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.

Expert Craftsmanship: Benefit from expert craftsmanship, ensuring a smooth and comfortable shave every time. Satisfaction Guaranteed: We stand behind our product, providing a satisfaction guarantee for your peace of mind.The razor itself glides over the legs with ease, though it does not have a thick coating of lubrication around the blades in the way that the Gillette Swirl, Solimo, or some others do. Some other testers did not enjoy the swivel, finding that it bent so far back so easily that it nicked the skin or forced them to hold the razor perpendicular to their body.

The pivoting head gives the Swirl increased flexibility to shave problem areas, but it can make the razor feel unwieldy.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. Whether it’s finding great products or discovering helpful advice, we’ll help you get it right (the first time). A few blades: Although there is no ideal number of blades on a razor—evidenced by people who swear by single-blade models—our testing indicated three to five blades as being a reasonable range. These are a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly option than disposable models; with the latter, you throw out the entire razor—head, handle, and all—when it blunts. To push to the top of this list, this razor would need to feel more natural to hold and have a sturdier build.
