Buy the Gillette Fusion Power now and experience Gillette's Most Comfortable Shave:
Manufacturer Product Description:
Gillette Fusion Power is Gillette's Most Comfortable Shave. 8 years of shaving innovation and 20 more patents make Gillette Fusion Power Phenom better than MACH3. Gillette Fusion Power Phenom is an advanced shaving system with an advanced design that provides optimal performance when using either side of the razor. On the front of the cartridge, Gillette Fusion Power Phenom features 5 PowerGlide® Blades spaced closer together to form a shaving surface technology. This design distributes the shaving force across the blades to help reduce pressure, with more comfort and less irritation than MACH3.
|
The back of the cartridge has a truly innovative Precision Trimmer—a single blade built into the back of the cartridge, allowing you to easily trim sideburns, shave under your nose, or shape facial hair, such as goatees, soul patches, and chinstrap beards. A soft touch, secure handle that intuitively rolls through the fingers allows for an easy 180-degree transition between the shaving surface on the front and Precision Trimmer on the back. Gillette Fusion Power Phenom also contains a Flexible Comfort Guard that follows the contours of your face and pulls your skin taut for a comfortably close shave. Additionally, it features an Enhanced Indicator Lubricating Strip that gradually fades to white when you are no longer getting your optimal shave, so you always know when to change the blades. Inside the handle is an oscillating motor that delivers soothing micropulses, which help reduce friction and increase razor glide.
Also living inside the handle is the onboard microchip, which creates an entirely new platform of technology that improves the system's performance and brings electronics to wet shaving for the first time. The microchip serves three primary functions: It regulates voltage for consistent power, it controls the Low Battery Indicator Light, which alerts you when the battery runs low, so you always have power when you need it, and it powers the Automatic Shut-Off, which turns the razor off after about 8 minutes in case of accidental activation and protects the battery during travel.

I bought this razor at amazon...I love it. Shaves close ...real close. I dont feel any pulling of hair like the few bad reviews. Maybe they have very thick beards. Mine is not that heavey...probably a medium thickness. I also only shave in the shower. I save it for last when the beard is hot and softened. It makes a big difference to me. Plus I don't make a mess out of the sink! The only problem I have is paying for the refills. I go through 2 blades a month.

The Gillette Fusion Power and The Gillette Fusion product range is a joke.
Coating your face will cold crappy canned goo gel and running 5 dull blades across your face is not fun.
Guys out there need to realise that after the second blade passes over the skin, the hair is already shaved down as close as it will go depending on if your are shaving with, across or against the grain. All the other 3 blades are doing is shaving off another layer of skin making you far more prone to shaving irritations and razor burn. Iam sorry guys, Its all a gimmick!!!
The Gillette Fusion is big and clumsy. The head is so big that you can get no control over where you are shaving. Gillette have tried to account for this by putting that single blade trimmer on the back of the razor. I found this to be totally hopeless as it is very hard to get the correct angle while trying to trim sideburns.
The 5 blades are spaced far to close together. This means the razor drags over the skin and actually pulls the hair out at the root rather than shaving it off. That is why a lot of men prefer the power version to the manual version. The vibrating version masks the fact that your facial hair is being pulled out rather than cut. I also find that because the blades are so closely spaced together it can be a nightmare to clean. Hair and shave gel gets clogged in between the blades very easily.
To top this all off Gillette are charging £2.50 for a replacement cartridge. What a joke.

It's a razor. It does its job well. I previously used the Mach3 lineup including both manual and power. The primary advantages of switching to the Fusion are (i) you get the trimmer on the back and (ii) you get a closer shave on the first pass. The disadvantages are (i) fusion blades will not work on the Mach3 handle and (ii) you will pay a bit more for these blades compared to the Mach3. If you shave all the time and you like new technology, I recommend the switch. If you shave only periodically and think all razors are created equal, stick with what you have.

I received the razor promptly, and have been using the first blade for 3 weeks now. This is a long time, as previously Mach 3 blades lasted only 7-9 days.
The small blade on the back seems a bit gimicky, and I haven't made much use of it. I am not sure how much use the battery vibration is, as a couple of times I have forgotten to turn it on, and it seems to work just as well.
A great razor, worth the purchase.

This razor works much better than the mach 3 razors and you get a much cleaner shave with it. The blades seem to last a little longer than the mach 3's by almost 1 1/2 times. I have found that that single blade on the opposite side of the razor head is fairly useless as the angle on it makes it difficult to shave.
