For years I used to use twin blades for shaving as nothing like Mach 3 blades were available in the market. Twin blades always have problems of uncomfortable shave, more possibility of bruises, ofter leaving irritation after shaving, etc.
Well before Mach 3 blades were launched in India, during my one of the visits to Canada, I saw Gillette Mach 3 blades in a supermarket. That was something new for me and I immediately purchased a razor and some blades came free with it. After trying it in my hotel room the next morning, I actually threw off my twin blades and twin blade razor. I went to the same supermarket and purchased one year’s stock of Mach 3 blades.
After returning to India, I saw an advertisement on the television about launch of Gillete Mach 3 blades in India, much to my delight that these blades are now available in India.
