Comments on: Counterfeit Mach3 cartridges and the war on terror — and boy, my face hurts! http://blog.chaddickerson.com/2006/10/08/counterfeit-mach3-cartridges-and-the-war-on-terror-and-boy-my-face-hurts/ Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:39:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Dave http://blog.chaddickerson.com/2006/10/08/counterfeit-mach3-cartridges-and-the-war-on-terror-and-boy-my-face-hurts/#comment-1790 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 16:28:51 +0000 http://www.chaddickerson.com/blog/2006/10/08/counterfeit-mach3-cartridges-and-the-war-on-terror-and-boy-my-face-hurts/#comment-1790 I just tried 3 blades from my recent order of 120 Mach 3 Turbo blades that I purchased on Ebay. Duller than a spoon! They came unpackaged and there are no serial numbers on the plastic blade holders so I am assuming they too are fakes. I just contacted the seller asking that they rectify this problem so we’ll see what happens.

Prior to the purchase I asked seller why they were not packaged. He replied he had gotten them at an estate sale and the packages were all dirty with paint and stuff so he removed the blades and sold them as is.

could i leave one less than humorous reply to all this the fake blades that i bought are not in any way obvious the packaging is perfect the seals are perfect the glue writing on the packets are also perfect the colour of the blades are perfect the adhesion of the blades to the plastic cartridge is also perfect now all this costs a considerable amount of money all that is wrong is the blades are blunt almost as if someone took a real blade and then deliberately blunted them

also the metal blades are attached to the plastic cartridge in such a way that it would take the real machine that does the ones for Gillette to have been used and so as conspiracy theories go and i have 80 of these absolutely perfect blades to testify to this why make them blunt when it would be just as easy to make them sharp?

something does not fit here these blades like all stuff like this are made in some 3rd world country where the carbon credits are are a thing of legend such as Indonesia china Taiwan etc etc something just does not add up these blades are perfect in every way but sharpness as if the real thing was deliberately taken aside and scoured over a brick backwards in fact as if these blades were once real or they are used blades refurbished a new emollient strip added and then cleaned and in the cleaning process they became even more blunt

but then this does not fit either the only solution is that for some reason Gillette themselves want to give the impression that the market is flooded with fake blades
but id we go down the path of conspiracy and this is no joke it more than likely is not Gillette but of course a rival company whoise blades are not faked doin this to discredit Gillette

of all the answers this is the one that fits the most a rival company has the technology to produce the real thing and then blunt them to discredit and furthermore reduce the share market gillette has over the other blade makers perhaps the biggest rival who coincidently has not reported fake blades

ok you can take away the men with the white coats and the injections the only people with the reason and the on hand technology to produce a perfect but blunt fake is gillettes direct consumer rival it just makes more sense because these fakes are going to cost as much as the real thing

anyway something very peculiar is happening here SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT THESE FAKES APART FROM THE BLUNTNESS ARE TOO MUCH LIKE THE REAL THING

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
PS I HAVE JUST APPLIED FOR A JOB WITH GILLETTE AS A SECURITY CONSULTANT AND INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE AGENT

the only sure way is to buy them from places like Woolworth coles etc were you live then if they are fake which is very unlikely people like Woolworth and coles etc will refund the money and investigate how it happened

http://www.goodfella.com/tewntyfive_blades.html

They last for a good 5-10 shaves and do much better than Mach 3 to next gen Mach 100..

No worries about counterfeiting.. I get those blades for 10 cents each and use they for a long time..
You just have to shave a bit slowly.. but once u learn it is easy.. and gives a great shave..

Pretty disappointing when you find them in retail stores after paying almost $3 per blade. Hopefully I can get $ back from one of the parties involved.

They are horrible. The seller says too send the remainder back for a refund. I want E Bay to shut this person down. They seem to be more concerned with making money from sellers than helping the victims of this fraud. Beware of E Bay stuff.

I fell victim to the same scam. Did you get a refund?

Thanks for your comment, since doing some research I have decided to start shaving with a double edge, Goodfella http://www.kiwishaver.co.nz cos it’s made locally, and it’s gonna be cheaper than running my current multi-blade jobbie :D
