Consumer Reports on Mach3
This article was originally published in The Rose Sheet
Executive Summary
One-third of 29 male Consumer Reports staffers said they would switch to Gillette's new triple-blade razor after using it at home, according to the publication's October issue. While Mach3 scored high marks for "closeness of shave, ease of cleaning, lack of drag and preventing cuts," Gillette's Sensor Excel performed the best, Consumer Reports said. "Some testers found it difficult or impossible to shave under their noses with the Mach3 because of the razor's large head," the consumer publication reports. Other men found it hard to trim sideburns or a beard because it was difficult to tell "where the blades meet the face." Warner-Lambert's Schick Protector and Tracer were both deemed "very good" razors, although the Protector was found to have an "uncomfortable" handle, Consumer Reports said
