Gillette Mach3 Cartridges , 8 cartridges

When I bought my first Mach 3, it worked great, and the initial blade lasted for about three weeks. The refills that came with it lasted similarly long.

Then I bought refills, and each blade was dull within a week and a half.

About two years ago, I found a place on the Web that sold cryonically-treated razor cartridges (you can Google for "cryogenically tempered Mach 3 razor"). They were slightly more expensive than most Web retailers, but they last at least three times as long... I'm just now running out of them (I think I bought 32, and gave eight to my dad).

Anyway, I only posted this because these cartridges popped up as the top recommendation on my home page. Weird.

1) The packaging color was slightly faded. (1st red flag)
2) The blade did not snap on my handle securely (2nd red flag)
3) Blades did not shave but rather pulled my facial hair out (3rd red flag)

The **REAL** mach 3 blades are fabulous, these are clearly of a lesser build quality.... Stay away. Currently seeking a refund. Please read the other reviews.

Bought from Infinite-Surplus...boooooo!!!

***Update***
I was given a full refund no questions asked. Hope Infinite-Surplus find, remove and replace these blades with official Mach 3 blades.

Be careful!! These are not Mach3 Turbo blades, which are much smoother than these Mach3. It was like night and day going from the Mach3 Turbo to this. I would not buy these again, because even with a new blade from this pack it was the equivalent of a Mach3 Turbo blade that I had used for 2 weeks.
