Question: Gillette Mach 3 Acne? I recently switched from the Gillette Trac 2 to the Mach 3 because I wanted a closer shave.  I am now getting that closer shave but I'm also starting to get acne on a regular basis.  A pimple used to appear from time to time, but this is a bit more significant and the start point is exactly when I switched.  Same shaving cream, same aftershave, more acne.\n\nHas anyone ever faced this problem and do you have a solution (besides the obvious one of going back to the Trac 2)?\n\nThanks\n\nJ

Answer: Sounds like it's razor bumps from the in-grown hairs that you will most likely get from a close shave.\n\nIf you want to continue to get the close shave, use a depilatory.  It eliminates the usage of a razor and helps prevent razor bumps (it works for my husband).
