Gillette Reviews

I bought 3 pack from Costco in Nepean, ON, Canada. One broke when it fell from my bag to ground. It's a shame that a leading brand is using packaging that is so cheap that it breaks on a small fall like standing height. The 2nd one stopped dispensing within few days as gel looked like playdoh and settled at the bottom. While the third one doesn't dispense I am still holding it as a case study on bad design.

Purchased a 3-pack from BJs wholesale club in Dale City Va and every can ceased dispensing the gel contents within two weeks of product use. I estimate that I threw out 80% of the contents of each of the cans. Apparently this is a very common problem for this product, judging by the number of negative reviews posted. While the cost of the product is not excessive, it is an extremely annoying occurrence to deal with.

Unfortunately the rating starts at one star. To do this review correctly, what is needed is minus stars. I have been totally taken advantage of by the Gillette company. Faithfully, for many years I have used their blades and their newest shave gels and adjusted to the newer and newest expensive and more expensive pieces of garbage. The latest is the disgusting YELLOW blades. But, I must admit they are right... they will last up to a month. That is UP TO A MONTH. I barely get one week from these where the other ones I can squeeze two weeks. Blades should and must last at least 3 weeks to a month. Gillette needs some competition and I only hope something will pop up soon before my bank account is drained in blade purchases.

Some months ago I began to buy Gillette Fusion ProGlide gel shaving cream. The first couple of cans seemed to work fine. Then, can number three or so failed to dispense on about the third shave. I continued buying the product nonetheless. In the past 3 to 4 months, only two cans have dispensed all their shaving cream; all the others have stopped dispensing after about two shaves. Because I had never before had to return shaving cream, I have not saved receipts. So, I cannot return the almost full cans, but must simply throw them away.

I have been a long time user of the Gillette blade products. Recently while using the new Mach 5 blade the middle two blades warped while in use. They looked to have a "dent" in the middle of the blade. Before I noticed the damage to the blade I had already begun to use the razor to shave my head. The result was a bloody gash on the side of my head. I had to go into work looking like I had a fight with a Lawn mower... I'll never use this product again. Very disappointed. I trusted Gillette to use stronger, higher quality blades. Even more frustrating is that this was a fresh blade right out of the package!!! Unbelievable.

I bought a set of Gillette Venus razors at Walmart and the razors are missing the part that clicks to the razor. I've lost the receipt so I can't return them. They are so expensive and I can't imagine why the company would let this product out the doors. This makes me so upset, because people work so hard for their money and trust in a product and things like this happen.

I faced with problem when I get my shaving cans from P&G (Gillette shaving) rusted and I received below email when I complained ensure that his cannot rust resistant as they mentioned and they didn't mention in the can anything as caution and when they use tinplate can they were know that it will use in bathroom and didn't use aluminum cans like the others in the same product. Kindly help me to get my right.

Fusion ProGlide Sensitive Shave Gel Is a Complete Waste of Money. I have just read many terrible reviews of this product and I must concur. If the dispenser works at all you are lucky. I already threw away 1 full can because it was a dud. Now the second can has stopped working after 2 shaves. I have the third can left, of a 3-pack I bought at Costco. Gillette, clearly you know this design is a failure. Why are you still selling it? I'm going back to EDGE Gel immediately and I will be sure to share this poor review whenever appropriate. I have not retained the receipt or any pictures, because I would never have thought of returning shaving cream and I would never believe that Gillette would sell such a faulty product. What a terrible disappointment.

Buy a month ago a machine Gillette Fusion razor, use it for four weeks and the knives are already oxidized. Unknowingly kept using it, I thought that these blades were made of stainless steel, is against health, you can give tetanus.

I've bought a set of 3 from Costco. After using each for a 3-5 days they fail to function anymore. About 60-75% of the shaving cream is wasted. The company knows about the issue (check the web for complaints) but is not making efforts to fix the problem.

Seems like in the last 3 years I don't get a good shave like I use to. I have been buying them for the last 20 years. I have tried all the razors that you make. I am going to try one more time. If I don't improve the shave I am not going to buy them anymore. I spend a lot of money on your product. If not improved I will be buying a different brand. Thank you for your time. Have a good day. I don't understand why they don't stay sharp like the use to.

I don't really need to use shaving cream but it's nice to have one. I usually just use water and soap, but unlike water and soap, my Gillette shaving cream moisturizes my skin after I shave. I like the lemony smell my shaving cream has.

I applauded Gillette's re-engineering of the shave gel "can" that was designed to resolve several longstanding issues with shaving cream/gel cans in general; e.g., the inability to keep it clean (rogue dribbling after use), inability to remove the can tops when hands are wet, rusting of the can. The re-engineered model addressed all of those problems and I was actually excited to see the changes. However, the can fails its basic Use Case - dispensing the product. I had purchased a twin-pack and each "can" failed to dispense more than 30% of the gel. How could a large company with presumably excellent product engineers put a product on the market that basically fails to work?

The gel is great when it dispenses correctly but being so expensive you want to use as little of it as possible -- and need very little. It seems if you dispense it in small quantities it tends to clog up. Since Gillette -- owned by P&G -- does not have the courtesy to provide an 800 number on their can to call if you need a replacement, there is an even easier way. Take the jammed can to where you bought it and request a free new replacement. Works every time and serves those price gougers right but still a pain in the butt. Wish they'd just fix the cans to dispense cleanly right down to the bottom of the contents which they are charging us so much for.

I bought a can of Gillette Fusion shaving cream. After 2-3 shaves, the can stopped dispensing. I bought another can of the same brand hoping my earlier experience was a one-off. The same thing happened. I will not be buying the product again.

After purchasing 8 pack of these fusion blades, it took weeks to use them one after another. Unfortunately the last 4 blades wouldn't click on to razor leaving me with 4 dud blades! Not happy because having paid for 8, I expect at the price charged that all 8 blades to work. Since I purchased them weeks ago I do not have a receipt. Just wanted to inform you of my disappointment and reluctance to buy any more.

I purchased recently a package of Gillette Fusion blades and three out of the four count size pack were dull. I have used these for about six years and this is the worst I have ever had. I know it may not seem like much but they are eighteen dollars for four. I just wanted to let you know that if I buy more and have the same problem that I will go to a different brand. They are a little cheaper. I do not have a number or manufacture date but I assure you that it is Gillette Fusion.

I am Pawan **, living in Delhi (India). Yesterday (02/15/2016), I purchased 01 pack Gillette cartridge and when I was using that cartridge it was not designed to fit into the cartridge holder. I spent 240 bucks and it was totally wasted, no one can use it. Can you advise me that what should I do?

In 1972 I was awarded a Gillette top 50 High School Football Players in the country. Since that time I have only used Gillette products, I guess as a way of saying thank you for the award when I was 18 years old. As a soon to be 62 year old man, I am ending the relationship with Gillette. I have had to throw out the last 5 cans of shaving cream, despite being half full would not deliver any shaving cream. I will be looking for a new product after 43 years to finish out my last 30 years. Please note my grandsons will follow my lead. I understand that a company as big as yours will not miss my business. However, I do think you care about your product's decline in quality. Thank you for the service over the last 43 years.

I have using these Gilette Sensor 2 Plus razors for number of years now, but the last two purchases have been very disappointing. I was getting about three to five shaves per razor, but now I am lucky to get only one use. I loved the razors at first but now am very disappointed.

A can of Gillette shaving foam manufactured in 05/14 and a use before date of 04/17 exploded in Jan 2016 when my daughter and I were in the bathroom. It covered the whole bathroom and spoiled the walls, spattered us and scared my young daughter. We were thankfully not badly injured and only covered with the foam and scared. I didn't expect this to happen with Gillette and my husband has been a long standing customer. Please let us know why this happened, whether this has happened with the products earlier and what steps you have taken to make amends.

I bought a 3 pack from Costco and was only able to use about a third from the first can before it quit dispensing. I picked up one of the other cans and was surprised as it did not feel much heavier than the first, so I cut the top off the first can and inside is a foil pouch which was nearly full of gel. The weight of the pouch minus the can was 5 oz compared to the net weight of 8.4 printed on the can. The weight of the new can complete is 11 oz. That's a lot of product to throw away! Once the can has been cut open the gel seems to expand and dry up so apart from the mess, it is not usable. Too early to report on the 2 remaining cans as I'm on the second shave of new one. As others seem to be having the same problem I shall return them to Costco and hope they complain to Gillette as it's obvious that Gillette are ignoring customer complaints but maybe they won't ignore Costco?

Several years ago I bought a new can of Gillette shaving gel and was dumbfounded to find nothing came out of the can. After several weeks... I went out and bought another can. Different store. Same thing - nothing dispensed. Can was heavy so not like anyone used it prior. Fast forward a few years to 2015 and said what the heck I will buy another can... They must have fixed it by now. Nope. Can failed to dispense. I've read many other reviews and seems like at least some folks get some product to dispense. My experience has been little to no product is dispensed. Gillette - you lost me as a long term customer.

I just want you to know that I hate these new things and I loved the former razors. I shave every day under my arms and the old razors did a fantastic job - I could feel they were shaving me. But these new movable heads leave me wondering. They don't shave well at all. I hate these new things so don't send me any coupons to buy more. When these are gone I am finished with Gillette, unless you bring back the good ones.

Unfortunately I must report the same complaint others have in regards to Gillette shaving gels. Twice now, I bought 3-packs of the 8.4 ounce cans at COSTCO. In both cases all cans stopped dispensing product after only using one-half to one-third of the can. This failure occurred whether I attempted to use the can when first bought, or after bathroom storage for up to 3 months. There are no expiration dates on these products, so from my view there is a design flaw.

My first negative experience with the overpriced Gillette razors and blades came when I raised the plastic access panel in order to pick a razor and blades for purchase. An alarm sounded each time a customer tried to access the products. It was as if you have committed a crime if you try to buy the product. Unacceptable! Now razors and blades are packaged in a plastic housing that must be opened at the cash register by sales attendant. This generally results in a lot of confusion and wasted time. I NO LONGER USE GILLETTE. The blade in a new razor always outperforms the other blades that may be included in the package. Corporate greed and product manipulation have given rise to other companies offering shaving solutions that are a lot less expensive.

Gillette Fusion ProGlide Sensitive Gel - For the 2nd or 3rd time I buy all things Gillette, razor, gel, blades. It's a smart choice, but they just "can't get right". The shaving gel feels heavy, does not dispense after a few weeks. On this one you can peel off label and see mechanism used and the amount of gel remaining (2/3 of it). I take top off clean, put a sewing needle in outlet, soak in hot water. It basically is dispensing foam slowly not gel. It has hit an air pocket. I bang on it, it never recovers. I replace can of gel, never used all the gel (again and again). This has happened on every can of gel I bought from them.

Like most negative posts about the shaving gel.. I think the product is amazing but continually get less than a handful of shaves before it quits dispensing. 3 out of last 5 cans. The last can I held down for several tries... a puffy cloudy film oozed out after I left all over sink. Put in bag while still foaming. Gonna have to move in to something else.

Gillette blades are expensive but we've always been loyal customer. 4 for about 25 bucks. My bf put on a brand new blade to shave this morning thinking it is the same as always and went straight to shaving but was so sharp that he didn't feel it cutting his face in 3 separate places. When it started bleeding he looked at the blade and it was all mess up. This should not happen. Left us wondering how they inspect their finish product?? We want our money back! This sucks! Make sure to look at the blade before purchasing and using or this can happen to you too. It took a chunk out of his face... still stuck in the blade.

Comfort Advantage Shave Gel - For the second straight time, the can ran out of pressure with nearly half of contents still in the can. E.g., a full can weighs 330 g, the net weight is supposed to be 238 g. So an empty can should weigh 92 g. My cans stopped working when they reached 200 g. This is unacceptable. I purchased these in a 3-pack at Costco.

I have thrown away 2 cans of the Gillette Proglide sensitive shave gel, because it will not come out of the cans. I have only maybe shaved 3-4 times with both cans and the gel will not come out. What a waste!

I have read MOST of the Comments on here and have YET to see the problem I have encountered with my husband's Gillette Pro Glide Fusion Razor. I realize that this sounds very strange as I am writing it, but am still bewildered as to the cause of it. About 2 months ago, I walked up to my son's school in the afternoon to pick him up, and upon returning home, we both heard a buzzing coming from the rear bathroom of our house. My son followed the noise to our master bedroom's bathroom and saw my husband's Razor ON and slowly scooting itself across the counter. -(Has ANYONE READING THIS EXPERIENCED THIS WITH THEIR GILLETE FUSION PRO-GLIDE? (---I am hoping I'm not the only one because THAT EXPERIENCE has creeped my son and myself out!). PS. -- Please don't write me some criticizing, Ridiculing message as I myself am a "Rational-minded Person" who just wants an Explanation. --Thank You.

Gillette Comfort Shaving Cream fails to dispense from can - Purchased at Costco in a four pack. The first can used stop dispensing cream after a few uses. Clearly there was more content in can; very heavy; but no gas to dispense same. Now the same experience with the second can. The can is 8.4 oz; stamped number on bottom is: 4035832303.

About 12-18 months ago I purchased a Gillette styler razor. After trying to shave with the razor Blades that came with the kit, I was forced to go out and buy a new pack of razors because the fist two shaves I got with the styler were horrible. They did not shave, they pulled the beard out. The new blades did the same, so I cleaned up my old proglide razor and found the problem was NOT with the razor blade, but was with the styler. I wrote to Gillette twice giving my e-mail address and never got a reply. I had been using Gillette products for 59 years, but because they did not care about my problem I am now shaving with Schick hydro razor and doing very well. I was very disappointed with the lack of customer service from Gillette. I honestly expect more from them.

I bought a can of Gillette gel that was advertised as having a 20% bonus. After very few shaves, the can would not supply much shaving gel at all. Time to switch suppliers.

This is the fourth time now that I have bought a can of Gillette shaving cream whereby the dispenser has stopped working. Some have stopped halfway through, others after just a couple of shaves. I love the product but I am leaving Gillette because of this. I cannot believe a big company like Gillette would allow this to continually happen over about 1.5 years now. Changing brands never to return.

I have bought 3 cans of the same name and brand shaving gel. It get half empty and stops working.

Gillette fusion - I have bought 2 now and they both just stopped - no problem with battery - just stopped. Is it common?

My last 2 batches of Gillette shave gel seemed to lack enough gas to expel any gel. Seems like everybody is experiencing this. Also Mach III blades suck now. I am switching brands after 71 years using Gillette products.

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.

What a WASTE of money! I bought a 4-Pack and so far the first three have stopped dispensing WAY before the entire can was even 1/2 used! The gel just suddenly stops dispensing and instead I hear a little bit of air discharge. The longer I wait before trying again, the more air seems to discharge. With the 1st 2 cans, once it happened, the next few times I could press the button really firmly and as I would hold it, a VERY small stream of gel would SLOWLY come out and after a few minutes I might have enough to shave. However, even that stops happening after a few times, and with this 3rd can, it would not even do that! I keep the cans in a cabinet, so it's not like they are exposed to sunlight or heat. I have tried rinsing the dispenser hole with hot water... I have tried shaking them until I couldn't shake it any more. I have a can of Walgreens brand shaving foam that has been dispensing for several YEARS now without ANY issues!

While shaving this morning the power button of my razor went out of its location with a bang like a gunshot. Very luckily I didn't cut myself!!! I've checked to see if it was the battery that exploded, and it's not. I also see that it's a pretty common issue with these razors!!! How come Gillette didn't address this! I have 3 Fusion razors (well 2 now...) and I always have been very satisfied on the smooth shave and performance but I will now be nervous while shaving from now on in case it explodes and I cut myself bad.

Gillette Fusion Proglide - I have 2 UPC Codes to begin with, and had the EXACT same experience. First one is 0 44700 51163 7, and 0 47400 51162 0. I have purchased these within a month of each other, and both cans stopped producing shave cream after only one or two uses. There has to be an issue with this product, and one of my best friends sent a complaint to Gillette recently. The next time I need a shave product, it will NOT be Gillette. You are the most expensive product from shave cream to your razors. I am disabled, and everything I purchase is more than most. Why did you remove your e mail address? I am thinking that you have had more complaints than you are admitting.

After using my new can of Gillette shaving gel ONCE, I found that when trying to use a second time a few days later, there was no gas. No gel coming out. Base numbers 3364051831 28122013 77963. EXP: 12/16.

Gillette Fusion Gel - Good product, but stops coming out of the aerosol can halfway through. Happened twice. Waste of money, unless you go to the trouble of calling Gillette and complaining.

The flow just stops not even half way through the can. I have to throw the can out with more than half the gel still inside the can. It's not just one can, it's all the cans. It really makes me mad - batch number: 30518323D1.

I have bought this shaving Gel but the gel is not coming out. This product is distributed by Gillette, PO box 61, Boston, MA 02199. Numbers printed on the container are: 99416866. Number printed on the label is 4740050121. I used to buy this product in India and also in US when I visit US. I do not know whether this product I have bought is India or US.

I have recently purchased your Gillette Endurance Anti-Perspirant and now have ruined three shirts due to the bleaching this product produces when combined with perspiration! I want to know what compensation Gillette is offering for my losses. I have emailed them with this complaint/information (and have read it happening to others - Amazon.com). I have not heard back from them.

I have used Gillette ladies and men's razors for my legs for many years. The last few years since the gel strip just above the blade was introduced, I have noticed the shave has not been as close. The last few months, after spending a lot of money, my legs are still stubbly and not smooth after using the new razor. The blades just seem such poor quality, it's so frustrating... Why is this happening to a usually fabulous product??

I was concerned when I noticed that the new packs of Sensor blades contained black plastic bodies instead of the usual grey but they were marked "Gillette Sensor" so I bought several packs. However, when I came to try shaving with them, it was clear that these were not the reliable blades that I have used since their inception many years ago. The razor skidded over my skin cutting my beard poorly & making a good shave a lengthy process.

I bought a fusion multi pack from costco, I did not keep the receipt, one of the 4 pack blades were rusty, totally useless and could not be used, I have found the odd rusty blade but the four was annoying. I have just bought another multi pack from Superdrug. If any of this pack rust, I will have to change to another brand.

Gillette Gel Shaving Cream - I normally buy either the 3 or 4 can lot from Costco or Bj's. The ones I bought about a month ago stopped dispensing after only a few shaves. This was disappointing. Last week I bought another 4 from Costco and the same thing is happening. Aggravating to say the least. It is not the cost as much as it is the inconvenience. Gillette is not responding to my complaints. Maybe I will have better luck on this site.

The 3 bottle I bought of Gillette Endurance antiperspirant will not dispense.

Gillette Comfort Advantage Gel Shaving Cream - Can only get 25% out of can, runs out of pressure. So what I do is cut off the top of can to get sack out and use the rest, 2 to 3 weeks of shaving once a day. Bad product design should be taken off the market.

While I really like this shaving creme, this makes the third can to explode after only using it a couple times. It is not cost effective and I will be looking to switch to a shaving creme that can last all the way through the can. It also makes a huge mess to clean up.

Like some of the other reviewers on here, my shave gel stops dispensing with more than half the product still in the can. I have two cans that I have tried to get to spray again, to no avail. One I only used one time. At first, I thought it was from the heat in my shower, but I have used a different brand of the same product that works fine. Also, they should be made to be used in the shower.

This is the third can of shaving gel that stopped dispensing gel with more than half the product still in the can...I now have to switch brands so this does not happen again. Wasted my money...

I was in the bathroom yesterday doing something other than shaving when, for no reason at all, my Gillette Fusion razor exploded! The power button blew off the razor like shrapnel from a bomb! It struck the ceiling, then the wall behind me and came to rest in the shower. It sounded like a tire does when you over-inflate it and it explodes! I'm thinking this thing had enough pressure to put my eye out if I had been in the line of fire! I wasn't even using the razor. It was resting on the toilet tank top where I always keep it. I see a couple of people on here have had similar experiences. I am not a die-hard fan of Gillette. I have used other brands of battery-operated razors in the past, but this has never happened to me before. Very strange and peculiar!!!

Let me start by saying that I use nothing but your shaving cream. But, I bought the Large 4 Cans at Costco last week and have had two cans explode. Not explode - explode, but the first can I used only twice. That evening I noticed that all of the shaving cream had poured out of the top of the can. The gray button either broke or something, so I just thought it a fluke and got another can. Well, the same thing happened. I was in the shower and heard a pop, turned to see what it was and that can was also pouring shaving cream out of the top.

Battery-powered razor exploded - I was shaving this morning and half way through the button came firing out and sounded like a firecracker. As a result, I flinched and cut myself very badly under my nose. Has this happened to anyone else? I think my heart skipped a beat and it was bleeding for 3 hours.

I have been a longtime customer of Gillette shaving products. Aside from the ridiculously high price, I have been satisfied until recently. I purchased a 24-pack of Mach 3 turbo blades and a 3-pack of Gillette Comfort Advantage shave gel for sensitive skin. The Mach 3 heads looked totally different from any I had previously purchased. Now after using them with the Comfort Advantage shave gel, I am experiencing the same exact symptoms as when I use cheap/discount shave cream and disposable razors. Not a pleasant experience. I have suffered nicks, cuts, burn and shaving rash virtually every time I've shaved with these new Gillette products.

I purchased a twin pack of 8.4oz of Gillette Comfort Advantage gel. After beginning to use the first can, there was no propellant; hence, no shaving gel after approximately 10 uses. I threw the can away and opened the second, only to find the same thing happened again. I also tried to send the second can back to you at the address listed on the can as PO box 61 Boston, MA, but it was returned to sender with a label that said "unable to forward." This was after I spent $6.20 for priority mail. I still have the can of gel and the package that was used to mail it back. I would like to be reimbursed for the gel and the postage.

I'm a longtime customer of Gillette blades. I purchased the Gillette Shave Gel Travel Size 2.5 oz. for my vacation trip to Italy. When I tried to get the gel out for the first time, only a teeny tiny bit would come out even though the can felt full. For the entire week, I was unable to get the gel out and shave. I'm very disappointed in Gillette's quality control of this product.

I just purchased a 4-pack of the Gillette Mach 3 razors at Walgreens and the blades are defective. I had the worst shave since I started using Gillette blades over 50 years ago. The shave was very irritating and I had a very bad shave. I would like to return these blades for a new pack. I don’t have a receipt from Walgreens. Can I return them to Gillette for new blades? Please tell me how.

I have used HydraGel for years. The last can I bought stopped dispensing the gel while the can still felt half full. I am going to buy a new can today and would like to be reimbursed.

My family has always used Gillette gel (both male and female) because of the quality and the fact that it's excellent for sensitive skin. Up to a couple of weeks ago, I could not find fault with the product at all but unfortunately, I bought a can from my local Asda which was kept as always had been at room temperature until ready for use. On the first use, the aerosol can seemed to explode dispensing the entire contents at once. I assumed I had just been unlucky and purchased a 'dud' can. However, the same thing has now happened again and I am sure it is not an isolated problem since there is no reason to believe it would only happen to me. I would appreciate your response to this complaint and a credit voucher for the two wasted cans. I would certainly like to continue using Gillette gel but need reassurance that either this obvious problem will be rectified or should the same problem occur in the future that I will be able to obtain a refund.

I'm a 30-year-old male and a long term Gillette user. The other day I bought one of your product packs from Superdrug, Wakefield West, Yorkshire (see enclosed picture). I always use your razors along with Gillette shaving gel and Gillette aftershave moisturizer, and these razors are not matching your usual standard! Normally your products are fantastic. I'm furious and disappointed that they have ripped my face to bits. Usually, I wouldn't be bothered but I've wasted my money; because they were such a brilliant deal I bought 4 packs for me and 2 packs for my father. I thought it might have been a one-off razor blade which was not up to standard but I was wrong. They are all the same.

The Gillette Pro Fusion Razor exploded in my hand this morning while I was shaving. The power button left a mark on my hand and fell to the floor; it sounded like a gun went off. Good thing it happened while it was in my hand and not pointed to my face where I could have lost an eye. I will be contacting Gillette this morning and contacting Walgreens where it was purchased to put them on notice of the hazard.

Two months ago, I purchased a large pack of razor refills (Gillette Fusion Razor Blades) at Costco. I regret that I must concur with many thoughts on this board. After only a few shaves, the blades are so poor that my face and neck have exploded in an incredibly sore and severe "rash". Like so many others, I didn't keep a receipt for these and I am posting this in the faint hope that Gillette investigates and corrects the problem. I buy these blades because I have been pleased for years with the quality of the shave. However, if this is the future for Gillette, I may as well buy disposable Schick's for less money and simply use a new razor every few days.

I recently purchased the Ultra Grip Custom Plus Lubricating Power with natural oils razor. It is a very big disappointment. Firstly, the ultra grip feels very cheap and flimsy. Second, the lubrication oils were not the reason I purchased, but they seemed non-existent. Third, the razor does not do its job. I am never satisfied with the results. I have bought every type of razor and I keep purchasing newly-marketed ones. These I grabbed while away and had forgotten my others. I realize the price point was not expensive but these are simply not worth anything. I would not recommend it at all. I'm not looking for payback, but come on Gillette; I have trusted the name forever. You let me down this time. Do you have any suggestions for alternatives? I am willing to pay the price, just expecting favorable results.

I am very sorry to complain to you, but I am very disappointed and quite angry about your Mach3 blades. I have been buying these blades from Asda for my stubbly husband for a while now and he has always been happy with them making his face stubble-free, but the last 2 packets that I have bought have been very blunt. The first packet we just thought was a bad batch, but the same problem occurred with the second packet. These blades are very expensive, so I feel I must let your company know that you have a very angry customer and upset customer who doesn't like stubble rash from her husband.

I recently bought your new Fusion Styler. I used it once and was happy. I used it for the second time and it would not work. It has power to motor but won't work to shave. I'm not happy.

Each and every Fusion Power razor blades pulled my (light) beard and cut poorly and sorely.

I have used Fusion razor blades since its inception and have been pleased. I would get 12-16 days of shaving from one blade. Lately, it is ranging 6 to 8 days and really irritates my skin. For the price of these blades, I hope to see some improvement, or I may have to switch loyalty to another company.

Gillette’s Sensor razor has excessive packaging. I tried to open a hard plastic security cover placed over a clam shell and cardboard package. I tried to pry the slide and it wouldn't open. I finally smashed it with a hammer. I have a photo of it.

I bought a pack of ProGlide blades, and two of the blades were snapped. I'm not one to complain, but these blades are too expensive.

I recently purchased a pack of 4 x 8.4oz Gillette Shaving Cream Comfort Advantage Shave Gel cans. I opened the package and when I went to use the first can, it splattered and gave a small amount of gel out, then stopped. It is still heavy but gives out no gel. I do not have the purchase receipt so I cannot return it to the store I bought it in. The number on the bottom is 12168323D1. I have not yet tried the other three cans.

I recently purchased a can of Gillette Series Shave Gel. This can was to replace the can I purchased only several weeks prior with the same problem. Both cans were only used a maximum of five times with both cans 1/2 to 3/4 full of gel, but there were no propellant (gas) in the can to dispense the gel. I have read similar complaints from other consumers with a similar problem. Why are you not fixing it? I hope you send me coupons for free replacements.

I purchased a pack of three Gillette Shaving Gels, 3X Triple Protection with 20% bonus amount. Two of the cans only had enough charge to dispel 50% of the gel inside. I don't think I will be using your product in the future. Your quality control must be slipping.

I buy this Gillette Lemon Lime Foam Mousse every month to shave with. A year or so ago, I brought a can and it did not work, I guessed it was due to no pressure. I threw this can out as I didn't really want to make a complaint. But recently, I have just brought another can and the same thing seems to have happened. No pressure, is this common? Is there any chance of getting my money back or a voucher so I can purchase another can? Many thanks.

If you submerge your Gillette or any other blade in olive oil after use, you'll stop the corrosion process which damages the razor blade edge. The razor life span is a carefully tuned alloy by Gillette that's meant to corrode. The corrosion eats away the sharp edge, in turn damaging your skin and forces you to replace your blade. Before and after use, you should remove the olive oil and moist hair by firmly blowing it dry, that's all. I am using the same blade for a month now. It's as sharp as when I took it from the package. The indicator strip is completely gone, still it shaves like new. I also shave without using any gel or any other products. I have since then also lost skin irritation in the throat area, even when shaving daily! The secret is shaving under the shower. All the skin is hot and the water is then a sufficient lubricant. I hope this helps many people bringing the cost of shaving down, and let the Gillette mafia eat the dust. They have earned enough over our backs.

I have used Gillette shaving products for as long as I can remember. I currently use the Mach 3 razor and Gillette foam for sensitive skin. I always buy my products from Tesco's in Camberley. I have, however, noticed that the last two cans of Gillette shaving foam I have purchased have had a very short, even missing dispenser nozzle. This has resulted in the foam not fully clearing the side of the can and having foam all around the dispenser cap. All the shaving foam cans I have had in the past had a nozzle of about 5 mm which allowed the foam to be dispensed without getting the can in a mess. Can you tell me if this is a defect or are Gillette now changing the dispenser design to this new version? If so, I will not be using Gillette products in the future. If someone could respond to my complaint, it would be much appreciated

I purchased 5 packs of Gillette custom plus fixed head razors some 2 months ago. I planned on using them on my recent vacation overseas. I opened the package and took the protective cover off the blade and started to shave. The razor felt like the cover was still on it. I checked to be sure I took it off. I had. I tried again, same thing.

Shaving cream dispensers - When you try to remove the top off of the shaving cream, both tops come off. You then try to put the bottom top back on so you can dispense and foam shoots out the sides and you cannot put the press part back on. So you waste over half the can, plus a mess.

While shaving this morning after rinsing blade, I proceeded to shave not realizing that the blade had pop up and detach from the corner of the frame resulting with a slice on my face from my mouth to my ears.

I have now bought a pack from Morrison's which contained 2 which were completely blunt the moment I tried them. If something is not done, I will consider switching over to other blades as the Fusion ones are particularly expensive to have half of the pack being a dud. I seem not be able to contact Gillette customer service, so I hope something can be done through this site.

The third just spat air. I've used Gillette all my life and never experienced such poor quality. I want 3 fully operating new containers or will never buy Gillette again.

Two of my clear gels have liquefied. I sent the UPC codes off both in an email a month or so ago and have never heard back. I would like them both replaced as I have always used this product and have never experienced this problem before.

I bought a couple of bottles of Gillette shaving gel because I always use it. One bottle was used a few times and is still almost full but no gel comes out anymore. I do not have the original sales receipt or It would have been returned but instead I'm stuck with it and don't believe it's fair. It's Gillette Series Shave Gel Sensitive Skin, UPC 047400130708. I'm currently unemployed so this is a major setback to me with my financial situation being budgeted. All I would like is to get what I paid for and make it work like it usually does.

I was given a Gillette fusion wash-bag, razor, and shaving cream in a gift box for Christmas! When I opened it and used the razor for the first time yesterday, I noticed straight away that the razor was completely blunt, and tugged my facial hair on my cheek really aggressively, causing my cheek sharp pain, and a small cut! Even though it wasn't the end of the world, and was only a cut, I would like to know why a brand new blade, which looked like the normal glistening Gillette standard, could not cut the hair, and was about as sharp as a beach ball? I wish to hear from you soon, regarding this matter.

I have been using Gillette razors and shaving cereal for years without any problems with the product. However, in the last year I have had to purchase replacement Mach III razors 4 times because the handle part of the razor would not hold the cartridge longer. I had to use my finger to hold it in place to shave which resulted in getting cut up for applying to much pressure to make sure it won't come off the end. I have had brand new cans of shaving cream stop working as well. It just stopped pumping out shaving cream. It's getting way too expensive to continue using Gillette products. There product quality has been horrible and it's very disappointing and getting very expensive.

I buy Gillette fusion blades for my husband and my son. They usually share a pack. We never had any problems with these blades. The last pack of four blades that I bought two weeks ago at Jean Coutu, were obviously defective, as both my husband and son said, the blades cut their faces constantly, and were not the same as usual. I do not have the packaging or the bill to prove this, but at the price we pay for these blades, I feel that I should be reimbursed for this pack of four blades. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has complained, and therefore you must be aware of the problem.

My husband uses the Gillette series shave gel. The last few times he has used it, he has gotten about 1/4 of a can used and it quits spraying it out like it loses pressure! We don't know how this happened. It wouldn't be so bad if he got to use at least 3/4 of the can. We do have the last can if you would like for it to be sent back so you can see what we mean.

I have been using Gillette blades since I was 14 years old and I am 72 now. I never had a problem until about 2 months ago when it took 2 razors to shave once, they scratch your face. You can't get a clean shave with them. What is happening with them? I am talking about the disposable ones. They used to be #1 in my book, but now they are not. Thank you.

Brand-new Gillette shaving cream exploded. The shaving cream was in the bathroom.

I was shaving with a disposable Venus razor when the plastic snapped right in half, the only thing holding the razor together was the soft plastic (kind of gel) that is on the handle. I have never had this happen before and have used your products for years. I normally wouldn't write a complaint if it was about time to toss the razor in the garbage but I had just taken it out of the package to use.

I have been using the Gillette Sensor Razor and its family of blades for as long as I can remember. My problem is that I fail to understand why a 5 pack of blades is almost $13, when I can purchase Wilkerson sword 4 pack for $5. As you know they also enjoy an excellent reputation. If they can provide their product for a reasonable price, why can't you?

The new ProGlide razor offers no better of a shave than what you would receive from using a disposable bought from a dollar store. I am a 20-year repeat customer of Gillette shaving products, but this ProGlide offers a mediocre shave at best. I found the Mach 3 and Fusion razors to be superior to this new ProGlide razor. The ProGlide does not perform as advertised and does not offer the longevity of razors like the Fusion.

I have been using the Gillette Sensor razor since it was introduced. In late April, I purchased a pack of 20 blades from BJ's. Out of the first 10 blades, I found 2 blades that would not cut my face at all. All I felt was a tugging at my facial hairs. I did check to make sure the blades were correctly seated and that the blades were facing the correct direction and they were. I am concerned that the quality control of you company is slipping. A 20% failure rate is not acceptable.

I have a Mach3 razor, actually 2 of them, one for travel and one for home. My home one has been having the head pop off of it when I apply it to my face. This is very disconcerting and disappointing. Can you send me a new Mach3 razor shaft?

To respond to Carrie's complaint dated September 11, 2010: Good afternoon, let me start by saying, we don't ever like to hear of our products disappointing consumers, but to hear/read you had cut your leg with our Venus Divine was upsetting. I want to assure you, as you alluded to, we do test our products thoroughly for quality, safety and performance. Though we test our products thoroughly, should a quality issue arise, we hope consumers will contact us so we can investigate and test and determine the cause, to eliminate the chance of recurrence.

A few months back, I got into the shower to attend to my daily routine. I opened a new razor, the Venus Divine Razor package and inserted the razor into the packet as directed. I have used these razor for years now. I then pulled the razor out. I took one stroke in the normal area where I begin to shave my legs, above my knee to the inside portion on my right leg. Immediately I was cut and it started to bleed badly enough to have to sit down in the tub for a second to get a grip on what just happened.

Three Oral B Triumph 9450 toothbrushes were purchased by myself & co-workers with the promise of a $10 rebate. After complying with all procedures, I recieved a (standard)'...unable to process your request' form informing me to resubmit within 7 days on a form that wanted nonsense questions answered like 'coffee flavor'???? The email address they gave offered NO help and I've written to them twice with no reply! I'm tired of companies pulling this type of scam on customers and need your help to obtain some satisfaction.

I sent the following message to Proctor and Gamble on February 17, 2007, but they have not responded:

I must give you a very negative report on the Fusion razor. I've been using it for well over a year now, and the blades are great but there are major problems. First and foremost is the back trimmer. This is DANGEROUS. I have nicked myself many times with it. This last time was very bad (please see photo). This is a SERIOUS design flaw. This trimmer needs to be removed or the razor needs a complete re-design. Second - the power switch has fallen off on it. This is my second razor that I have bought since I started using it just over a year ago.

I cannot find their E-mail address in order to complain directly on the product. The "contact us" button in their web site doesn't respond...

Head from oral-b batter toothbrush came off while haveing my teeth brushed and I swallowed it.

Oral B Cross Action Battery operated toothbrush. On July 19th, 2004 while brushing my teeth, my lip got caught in the mechanism that rotates the bristles of the toothbrush. Previously I had gotten pinched, but this time, my lip got caught in it. It took me a few moments to get it out.

The following is the EMAIL message I sent to Gillette yesterday. I am sorry to tell you that the new MACH3 kit I receive at Christmas was a scam. I do not know if it was you or BJ's or both but someone is trying to scam the consumer. I am not concerned about a single missing blade, but more about the principles of stating something is / contains what it does not. It is also obvious that someone knows because the truth is masked by a sticker over the 4 on the package of blades.
