HOW DO YOU KNOW , THE DEAL LOOKS GOOD BUT????

Information is the best protection from wasting your tiem and money.

 

There are many many items out there and mostly just a cookie cutter version of some other guys listing, none more informative than the next.

 

LOOK for the MOST informative listings with EXACT photos, not generic.

With regards to the Mach 3 Turbo out there:

Given, you can find listings that are willing to accurately show the product; here are some things to look for:

                        

The middle blade on the (left) face cartridge is obviously out of alignment and there are noticeable differences in the frame alignment and design when compared to the Gillette Mach3 Turbo Cartridge on the (right).

Note the uncleanness. Note the IRREGULAR blade alignment!

The Blades on the (right) Gillette Mach 3 Turbo  cartridge are in good alignment as with all of their cartridges. Notice the circular  markings on the blades that differ from those on the face cartridge. The blades on teh gillette cartridge were more reflective of light proving difficult ot take macro pics without over exposure.

                             

Obviously dirt can be seen on the blades (Left) and the plastic frame is not as refined when compared to the Gillette on the (right). The number on the middle of the fake cartridge, J8, is less USA letter format than on the Gillette. (J looks like T)

The metal band on each side of the fake cartridge is bent and not properly aligned to the frame.

The ALIGNMENT or should i say the LACK of Alignment of ALL parts is a dead giveaway.

NOW HERES some Tricks for EBAY PURCHASING!!

Look for NO text in the top right corner of the picture of the 4 pack.

The pictures that SHOW text in the upper right hand corner typically say:

NEW!

Nyhet!

Uus!

IN MY BOOK , Move on, my experience is those blades are NOT what you are looking for.

(See pictures)Good

Also IF you can discern color of pack as best you can the tinge of BLUE is the color tint NOT Green.

IF you find pictures of blades for sale and see BOTH tinge of Green AND Text in upper right hand corner. Yikes, in my experience, move on.  

MY Humble opinions, thanks, hope it helps.
