Shave Quality

Pros:

  • "It's really good for getting a nice close shave in very sensitive areas and works really good on more than one gender."
  • "No razor burn or pain with Gillette shave gel! No redness or dry skin."
  • "The rich gel lathered up superbly. Went on silky smooth and the rich gel covered my face like a protective shield."
  • "In love with the smooth vibes! This shave gel not only delivers a top-notch quality shave but also keeps the skin hydrated."
  • "This really works well for sensitive skin. The gel foams and provides lubrication for a smooth shave."
  • "Nice clean shave every time no nicks no cuts just a clean smooth shave."
  • "The shave felt smooth and close resulting in the best shave I have ever had."

Cons:

  • "I've used the 'sensitive skin' product for 10 years. It now has a 'new and improved' formulation. It smells terrible and it stings when applied to sensitive skin."
  • "Other sensitive skin blends actually start to burn, if left on my face for too long."
  • "I still got nicks and razor burn while using this."
  • "This shave gel not only didn't help with the irritation, but it actually caused more irritation and also caused my razor to slip, resulting in numerous shaving cuts."
  • "I mean, have to give to this shaving cream by Gillette. There were razor bumps all over my upper neck and face from shaving."
  • "It was a great deal, but this shaving cream doesnt feel very protectant when I run a razor blade over my face."
  • "This new product is very different from the original product. Feels terrible on the skin."

Product Design & Packaging

Pros:

  • "The new Gillette Series Shave Gel 3x Sensitive bottle looks great and dispenses perfectly, no heavy spill out after you stop pushing the button."
  • "The cap has been redesigned and the plastic now completely covers the top of the metal canister."
  • "The packaging is modern and has a nice visual design."
  • "The top snaps on and off easily, though the shape makes it hard to handle with wet hands."
  • "Finally, I have found a shaving cream that puts an end to the countertop mess."
  • "We loved the 3X shaving gel and got excited about this product... It smells nice and lubricates well. A little dab goes a long way."
  • "This gel is awesome. I have a very sensitive face that easily gets irritated by shaving- particularly with inferior gel/cream."

Cons:

  • "I will never purchase this in bulk again 3 of the cans will not spray the gel out."
  • "These are absolutely terrible!!! 2 out of the 6 have quit dispensing after about 5 or 6 uses."
  • "The brittle plastic tops break, the first can (I bought 6) was knocked off the vanity and when it hit the tile it shattered."
  • "Two of the cans wouldn't eject the cream."
  • "I have almost full cans that no longer dispense."
  • "I really like the shaving cream but don't like the can it dispenses from."
  • "The only drawback, but not drastic, is that you cannot determine when the cream will finish dispensing because there is nothing to indicate when the dispenser is nearing emptiness."

Scent & Texture

Pros:

  • "The addition of Aloe to its blend made this one an ideal shave gel."
  • "There's a great smell to the gel but its not too strong."
  • "It also has a pleasant fresh scent to boot."
  • "I was so pleased with the scent. I really like it!"
  • "The product has a subtle smell that’s pleasant and doesn’t overstay its welcome."
  • "But this Gillette Gel is good even has a nice scent to it."
  • "It leaves him smelling amazing, feeling smooth, and looking fresh!"

Cons:

  • "It has an odd 'chemically' or heavily artificial smell that is slightly off-putting."
  • "Finally, the smell is pretty terrible in my opinion."
  • "For some reason, I thought I would switch from my usual shave gel, to try this... However, the scent on this product is completely overwhelming."
  • "This product has more perfume in it than a Sunday afternoon church funeral, on a hot summer day, with a broken AC."
  • "The area where it really fails for me is that it's supposed to be for sensitive skin however the scent is overpowering & I found it irritating."
  • "Got Them Yesterday Used this morning and they have a strong Menthol smell so overpowering to my eyes I absolutely don't like them."
  • "While this shave gel 'gets the job done' so to speak- I’m not the biggest fan of the scent."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "The price for a pack of six large cans is a bargain!"
  • "Gillette shaving gel for $2.00 a can is a great deal."
  • "The price is unbelievable $12 for six bottles. Highly recommended."
  • "By Far the best price on shaving Gillette Shaving Gel."
  • "The price is great for 6 on Amazon."
  • "This is a great price point, and a quality product."
  • "Good value when purchased in this quantity."

Cons:

  • "Good gel but very expensive when you factor in what you throw out."
  • "Gillette shaving gel was my husband’s favorite but in looking at the price now it has literally doubled from when I purchased it last."
  • "I bought this the first time at a good price, now the price has doubled, time to look for another type of inexpensive shaving cream."
  • "I am not a 100% I would be buying again due to the fact I think for the money there should be more in the can."
  • "I however would not purchase this again. I'm tired of throwing away half empty cans."
  • "I don’t feel that it is in par with comparable alternatives around the same price point."
  • "Don’t waste your money on this."
