Gillette bad blades

Hi- My question is a simple one - Why do the Gillette fusion blades or blade that are included in the package when a new razor is bought, last almost twice as long as the ones purchased in the package? This is a question that nobody can answer, and to prove that it is true, I bought a new Gillette razor at Walmart on August 16th 2014, and today makes exactly 2 months that I am using the same blade, I am still getting a great shave with this blade after 8 weeks, and the ones from the package ($40.00 for 8) only last a maximum of 4 weeks.I am now hearing that Gillette makes the ones that come with the razor of better quality, so that they last longer, and buyers will be sucked in to buy more. Please, please, I am sure hoping that somebody can give me an answer. Thanks Russell.

Gillette container exploded

I bought a container of Gillette shaving foam and it exploded. The explosion completely ruined my bathroom and cost me thousands of dollars in repairs. The representative of Gillette who was handling my case very politely told me to go to hell. Fortunately I made pictures of the damage it caused to my home. The only lucky thing is that nobody of my family was in the bathroom at the time of the explosion. Pieces of glass from the mirror and metal went straight through the door and the ceiling so you can imagine the force of the explosion, it was like a virtual bomb. The fact that they don't even have the decency to apologize for this really is beyond me.

Purchased Fusion 8 Pack Shaver Blades from Target Store. All blades new. I am unable to find a good quality blade with which to obtain a decent shave. All the blades were too painful to use in order to shave with. I reported my dissatisfaction to the Gillette Company to no avail. I obtained a Shick Disposable shaver and obtained a better than...

Gillette their fusion blades last approximately one week instead of six months

Gillette states that their fusion blades last approximately six months but when I use each blade according to your television commercials recommendation, when the strip turns white it is time for a new blade which is about a week if I am lucky. Now how can the blades last six months according to the advertisement on the pack they come in when each blade last only a week and there are eight blades in each pack? According to even grade school arithmetic one times eight equals eight in which is the number of weeks your blades seem to last and not three weeks per blade which is the number of weeks that is being claimed by your pack advertisement. This number is obtain by the number of blades per pack divided by the number of months on the pack ( 8 BLADES DIVIDED BY 6 MONTHS) I also kept account of how long I used each blade. I am also going to submit a copy of this to the FTC and see if they are interested in this...

I bought the startup kit with 4 extra blades and loved it. i went at least 9 months with the original 5 blades. 4 because i dropped the razor and broke one. HOWEVER the 18 pak at cosco is NOT the same quality. I shave every other day and have to change blades much more often.

Gillette lately the razors became terrible

Gillette, I have used your products for over 55years & have usually been satisfied. However lately the razors I have been buying are terrible, I used to get 7 to 10 shaves from one cartridge now I get 3. It seems that you are either using softer steel or the ones I have been buying at sams club are seconds.I am talking about the mach 3 package with 20 cartridges in it. Needless to say I am now going to change to another brand when this package is used up which wii be very shortly. By the way I do not have a heavy beard & I always use a hot washcloth to soak my beard before I shave.

Gillette stay away

After ordering a pack of spare blades for my Gillette Mach 3 Razor, I waited for about a week for any sign of them, and this was a card from Royal Mail stating I had to pay for a small package as the sender had not paid enough postage, although they said it would be free.

After changing the blade for a new one, I tried it. Big mistake. I was left with nicks on my face as the blade was just not of a good quality. I went back to the older blade, which was sharper than the new one.

I have tried phoning them but the number does not seem to exist. Nor have they returned my e mail.

Do not use this company.

I ordered 20 Gillette Mach3 Replacement Blades on 1st September and paid by Bank of Scotland Visa /Debit card.

My order number was 4031 and £15.95 was debited from my account.

I have not received the goods and have had no reply to any of 4 e-mails which I sent to them.

Their site was closed when I tried to access it. How do I get recompensed for this despicable fraud.

Gillette customer service (product locked)

Something needs to be done in getting product in a timely fashion. This Wal*Mart location has the razor refills locked up and it has taken me no less than 20 minutes on three different locations since the first of the year to wait for customer service to get the launch codes released and someone over with a key. I have had less trouble qualifying for a concealed weapon permit than i have had in trying to purchase $20 razor refills at this location.

Suggestion: place the razor refills next to a cashier since it is required that you immediately purchase them once the customer service rep gives you the package. this will make provide ease for paying customers while maintaining the approriate security for those who steal them.

I was recently shaving with a Fusion razor blade (about my fifth shave with this blade) when the lubricating strip just fell off, making shaving difficult. The number on the blade is 3176S BE0338. I expect to get more than five shaves out of these blades. Purchased at Walmart in November, cost approximately $19.00.

I purchased this from Waitrose Sunningdale . I worked well on a couple of occasions . Since then nothing comes out no matter how I squeeze the top . It is still full but I can’t get it to work.

The batch number is 23198323D1

I purchased this on July 28th .

When it did work it was very good

A section of the blue plastic bottom of my deodorant cracked and broke off. I’ve use this product for years and I’ve never had a problem. I did not abuse the packaging. Because of this, the product gushes out the top because the bottom piece moves up where it is broken.

I have a very sensitive nose and certain aftershaves and perfumes cause me great distress.The new smell is so overpowering and horrendous that I can no longer support the product. If you go back to the old scent, I’ll come back as a consumer. Best of luck on your new product.

The gillette 5 blades replacement, not the blades that come with the handle aren't as good as quality. I can get 5 to 6 shaves with the blades that came either the handle, the replacement blades I bought look exactly the same but 2 to 3 shaves! What gives... Been using your products for 40 years...

I just tried the above mentioned blade and is not as good as the old Sensor blades. It doesn’t shave as close and leaves to many whiskers compared to the old blade.

I recently bought three cans of the Gillette Foamy sensitive shave foam and they changed the scent! It is horrible. With no indication on the can, which is deceptive. I can't use these cans.
