Review of the Gillette Mach 3 Power Razor

The Gillette Mach 3 Power Razor is a manual vibrating razor blade sold by Gillette, a shaving product company. The Gillette Mach 3 Power Razor differs from other manual razors because it contains a vibrator and pivoting blades, which allows for a smoother, closer shave without causing irritation.

Features

The Gillette Mach 3 Power Razor contains a vibrator, which gently vibrates while shaving. Gillette calls these vibrations "micropulses," claiming it stimulates hair up and away from the skin, resulting in a closer, smoother shave.

Components

The Gillette Mach 3 Power Razor contains a lubrastrip, a thin strip that lies on the top of the razor blade coated with vitamin E and aloe. It also contains PowerGlide blades, a power button, a three blade shaving surface, and a razor head which pivots forward.

Claims

Gillette claims the blades and pivotal razor blade base allow men to shave closer to the skin, helping them shave away more hair than with other manual razors. It also claims the aloe and vitamin E in the lubrastrip sooths the skin and allows the razor to move more smoothly across the skin.

Requirements

To enable the razor's vibration feature, users must insert one AAA battery. This is not included with the razor and must be purchased at a retail store.
