Gillette ProGlide Razor Blades Men, Pack of 8 Razor Blade Refills with Precision Trimmer, 5 Anti-Friction Blades (Packaging May vary)

I have been using Gillette for years now and I am always very happy with their products. They are very good quality and they always give me the best and most comfortable shave I’ve ever had. Buying from Amazon as well the delivery was super quick with Prime, and the value for money is great as well. They are more expensive than disposable plastic razors but they last longer and give a much better result so they’re well worth the investment. The packaging is excellent - it looks amazing and is somewhat of an experience to open it. However, as a note to Gillette I would rather have a smaller package that still contains the same amount of blades. I care about the environment a lot and the impact that we have on Earth and feel that as a company Gillette could do more in terms of their cardboard - yes it’s recyclable which is great but using less would also be fantastic.

These are very good blades that produce a clean shave with no nicks, its just a pity that they are so expensive. I have a Gillette and a Wilkinson Sword razor and the price of the blades dictates which one I use. You are supposed to change the blade when the indicator strip wears away, but I am convinced that it dissolves in water so ignore it completely. I can usually get a 4 week shave with each blade. I change it on the 1st of each month as by then you can tell the sharpness is beginning to dull. I have the power razor but also buy these manual blades as they are identical apart from the colour coordinated lubrication strip. I opt for whichever is the cheapest, you get EXACTLY the same shave. As of end of March 2015, the blades are half price so have stocked up on them, so this is my choice of the moment in razors.

I am of the female persuasion, but one that is afflicted with thick body hair (attractive, I know!) I have been on the hunt for the perfect razor for years. I resorted to using men's razors a while back, and I do find them generally better, but they are all much of a muchness. These blades are good for the first shave, ok for the second, then the hair-tugging starts and I end up with ingrowing hairs. However, this is just my personal experience. I'm sure they are pretty fit for purpose when used on a man's visage. I may just go au naturel.....

Good quality for price working fine

Still great quality as usual, the last time I bought was about a year ago, and was just 4 blades, 4 pics last a year, I gotta say, is really money worth it, and I know I'm woman, but I really love this one, I use it to shave my legs my arm and my Bikini line too, it works really well, I don't need to buy a cheap one, and throw away everytime Im done with it, save the planet too, if I can ill give 6 stars, that's how much I love it

Gillette are like what print cartridges are, expensive to buy and they might say they dont control the retail price, but they do control and wholesale prices. This is not what I would like to say, but Im annoyed with all the packing for two blades. You have to chop down a 10-year-old tree to produce this, yes you can recycle this PAP20 code, but why so big. Very big waste and we all are thinking on the C02 produced not only to make this, but to transport this, come on P&G do your bit. Hope you all agree if you do press the like button.

As far as I can tell these seem to be no different from shop brought ones I’ve brought in the past,never had any issues or problems with them since buying,always gives a clean cut shave with very few nicks

I don't like to subscribe to the 'fake' theory, but I have used these blades via a subscription direct from Gillette for a while and they were great - the best in fact - so I am really disappointed that the first blade I tried felt from this pack so different - much scratchier and no different from much cheaper blades. I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon and it's usually good and can work out cheaper, so I don't know if this is old stock, or Gillette rejects or worse. I am sure it is no good complaining as Amazon will insist they are genuine and it is impossible to prove otherwise, however it is surprising how many reviewers are of a similar opinon regarding the quality of the one's supplied via Amazon rather than direct or retail.
