This feature’s sole aim is somewhat similar to stretching the skin just like you’d have done with your hands. Due to stretching, the skin surface becomes even or stable and helps the hairs get straight. These allow more hair to get caught without hurting the skin. While both models offer a microfin guard on the bottom, the Mach 3 Turbo uses a dense body on its guard. The added fins provide extra comfort. These also lift minute parts of the skin to create an even closer trim every time you use it. The microfin skin guard on the bottom also adds a better approach to shaving. While the guard does stretch the skin out for improved access to the hair, the guard offers more fins than the Mach 3. The extra fins allow for a more precise lifting motion. You can use this on even the toughest surfaces to shave.

Both the razor comprises of three blades. And when you have a multiple blade system, you can be assured to get a close, clean cut. The blades are spring-mounted, i.e., it can automatically adjust itself to follow skin variations. The Mach3 Turbo 3D features an innovative precision head which adapts to the contours of your face. This allows for a close and precise shave from all angles. This makes shaving around jawlines, chins and cheekbones that much simpler. The handle itself is built to an ergonomic design with easy-grip elastomer points so that you can achieve expert control even when wet. The Mach 3 may produce a slightly closer cut on average than what the Mach 3 Turbo offers. The slimmer coating on the original Mach 3 reduces the overall width of the razor head. The design ensures that the cut you produce is easy to follow. Conclusion What’s interesting about this series is that you can fit these razors on any Mach 3 handles. The handle’s superior design ensures a great grip and comfort to follow the contours of the skin. Gillette series starts with a basic variant – Mach 3 and ends with its upgraded variant, i.e., Mach 3 Turbo. Both the variants are similar in most of the features, but yes, it also houses few differences that made it eligible to take a talk for comparison.The Mach 3 Turbo uses sharp Turbo cutting blades that are stronger than what the original Mach 3 uses. The blades add a cleaner cut while moving through unwanted hair in moments. Each blade is also coated with an anti-friction surface to prevent the blades from wearing out. The Gillette Mach3 ( / m æ k θ r iː/, [2] [3] / m ɑː k θ r iː/ [4]) is a line of razors produced by Gillette. Blades: Three blades that Gillette states offer up to 15 shaves. Gillette also states the blades are stronger than steel. However, they will mainly contain steel and a mix of chromium, carbon, and other elements. In contrast to Mach 3, the blades present in Mach 3 Turbo have an additional anti-friction surface. These coatings help reduce friction and increase the blade’s smoothness by which it will glide through the skin. The blades will now get protection from wears and hence increases durability.

The stretching effect allows your hair to be cut and for more hair to be exposed before the stroke goes through. The microfin design is also flexible and lasts as long as the lubricating strip on the other end. A comfort bar is included on the top part of each model. The bar adds a soothing texture to your skin that keeps you relaxed. The risk of razor burn drops as the bar adheres itself to your face. Each bar includes moisturizers to keep your skin from being too dry after you finish shaving. The process reduces the risk of redness and dry or chapped skin. In Mach 3, you’ll get a standard sharp blade, whereas the Mach 3 Turbo’s blades are claimed to be sharper. However, Gillette also says, “the blade material in both is stronger than steel’.

What about the Handle?

Lubricating Strip is present in both razors and keeps the skin hydrated and prevents kind of irritation. You’ll get this strip slightly larger in Mach 3 Turbo razor. Besides, these strips in Mach 3 Turbo acts as an indicator that turns white from its original color green. This color change indicates that you need to change the blade. The contribution of lube strips is great in preserving the moisture of the skin. Especially when dealing with a multi-blade razor that cuts close to the skin, it can draw out the moisture, resulting in dryness and increased friction.
