Gillette Fusion Razor Review Summary

The Gillette Fusion Razor has five thin razor blades to give an incredibly smooth, close shave. Marciaj320 says, "You can see there are FIVE blades to shave your beautiful face and there's a hidden single blade - a precision trimmer - behind the blue lubrication strip at the top of the razor." Our reviewers love the results but don't love the cost of refills for their Gillette Fusion Razor. A26c331 admits to using her husbands razor, "It shaves super close every time; each blade lasts at least 3 months; I never nick myself, and one swipe is all it takes!" Still, our clean shaven reviewers are willing to pony up the extra for blade refills because the results are that darn good. This razor is made for a man but women use it too! Checking out disposable razors? We have a load of reviews for you to read.

Okay, I'm coming clean on these pages.  About a year and a half ago when Gillette introduced this razor I wrote a scathing review of it elsewhere.  Truth be told I was predisposed to savage this product.

I mean five blades? Come on, give me a break here.  Wait!  Six blades if you count the trimmer...

Once upon a time, Gillette introduced the first twin razor, a disposable blade system which combined two blades in one cartridge. The famous commercial showed us how the first blade would pull the hair away from the face, then the second blade would crop it close. Sounds good, right? But it also sounds...

daily shaver, into trying new things, like to be clean shaven

Shaving is one of the many annoying routines that become part of most men's daily lives. I shave either six or seven times per week and I am always on the lookout for new shaving products. One I am now using for the first time is the Gillette Fusion, a hand- held refillable razor.

Razor Commentary:

I have used this razor for a few weeks now and the results have been satisfying. My favorite quality of this razor is the thinness of the blades. With most other razors, the blades are greater in depth and facial hair ends up getting stuck between the blades, requiring constant rinsing to try to keep...

The Gillette Fusion Power razor is the best blade shaving system ever invented! There are two new Fusion razors from Gillette. Make sure you get the POWER version because it vibrates like the historic Gillette MP3 Power razor. The Gillette Fusion Power cuts you close without giving you a moment of razor burn.
You can see there are FIVE blades to shave your beautiful face and there's a hidden single blade - a precision trimmer - behind the blue lubrication strip at the top of the razor. That single blade is fantastic because you can finally trim under your nose. You can finally delicately run it...

My husband and I both use this razor! It's great for women with sensitive skin because the five razors cause much less razor-burn than many leading female razors. Works excellent in armpits and ankle area because of the single blade on the backside that is gentle in hard to reach areas. Both my husband and I suffer from sensitive skin, and this razor gives us a clean shave without having to change the razor weekly! This razor stays sharp for a month or longer of daily shaving! I highly reccommend this razor for men and women alike!

I must confess; I used my husband's razor in the shower. He uses the Fusion (not the power one) and loves it. I have gone through every women's razor out there with none that make me happy. I HATE the strips of gunk (moisturizer) that they all feel we need. I want a multiple blade razor that lasts. That is why I use this one. I ended up buying my own. It shaves super close every time; each blade lasts at least 3 months; I never nick myself, and one swipe is all it takes! Yes the cartridges are pricey; but they last alot longer than other razors I have used. THe case holds extra cartridges in it... review »

I purchased the Gillette Fusion razor at a recent sale. Despite being a female, I chose this male razor because the price could not be beat. I was not disappointed. The razor has five blades and a soothing strip. The five blades cut even the most intense areas. I have been using the same razor for the last two months. For every other girl out there, no razor lasts that long! We are just too high maintenance. However, this one has stood up to the test. For only 6 dollars on sale, I still have  a spare cartridge left to use when I finally throw this one away. I do not tend to use shave cream and...

The Gillette Fusion Razor may be made for a man...but I don't get a better shave for myself with this razor!  The blade lasts FOREVER - I swear, probably three weeks for me.  My legs are smoother longer than any other razor I've used.  The blade seems wider than most women's razors so it takes less time to shave.  My legs always feel soft and silky after a good shave.  The only downside is the blades are expensive!!  You can usually find good coupons for this product in the paper, so that helps out a bit.  After using the Gillette Fusion I highly doubt I'll ever go back to a woman's razor... review »

The gillette fusion razor is the best!  It is incredibly comfortable.  Gives a very close shave. Its worth the extra money you spend on the blades.  The only draw back is the blades do not last as long as I would expect.  Replacement blades are more expensive than other brands, but no one offers as good a total package as the Gillette fusion.  The electronic pulses from the razor really do make a big difference in the comfort level and close shave it gives.  I will never go back to a "womans razor", It seems to take less time to shave and I do  not have to go over the same area many times... review »

Got this for the husband.He just loves it . Gives him a smooth save for that very very harsh beard he has. First time in a long time that he actually went 3 days without shaving and I could still snuggle up to his face. I think this is a must have for men with a ruff beard. Also purchased the shaving gel with it . Works great. I am however worried a little bit about how many batteries he will go through in the long run with this one. They are a little overpriced I do think.Hey though..sometimes you have to pay for what you want. A must have for men. Shh..I might even try it on my legs. If it works...

these are the razor cartridge that come for the Gillette Fusion razor. It comes in two modes Manual and Power. The unique feature of this blade is that it has 5 blades in the front, and one blade on the back for trimming. The 5 blades give a great great shave...and if you have the Power version it is the smoothest shave ever. I really love this razor and have been using it for over an year now.
The only con about this razor system is that the razor cartridge is quite expensive compared to other razors. It comes out to be about 3 bucks per cartridge which is substantially expensive. But if you go...

After making a regular practice of stealing my husband's Gillette Fusion, I finally decided to go out and buy my own.  It's flexible head and five blades gives a very close shave, especially in hard-to-reach places.  However, this razor does have one drawback in that it doesn't have a very good moisturizing strip.  I have noticed that the moisturizing strip drys out very quickly-often after only one shave, and always well before the blades become dull.  All in all, I'm satisfied with the product, especially when it is used with the Gillette Fusion shave gel.

I am reviewing the Gillette Fusion Power Razor.  I have read other reviews and I've seen the commercials and I must say, I do't get the hype.  My face is just as tough a shave as the next guy and I have gotten a very close shave with 2 blades, then three blades, and then four blades.  I tried the five bladed Gillette Fusion and I honestly got the exact shave as I did with the three and four bladed razors.  I dare anyone to shave half their face with a Gillette five bladed Fusion and the other half with a three bladed Gillette or any other brand name razor and honestly say they can tell the...

The first time I shaved my legs it was with my father's single edge razor. One of those old things you screwed the head open by twisting the handle, and dropped in one of those blades you would later dispose of through a slot in the back of the medicine cabinet. So suffice it to say I have seen a lot of innovations in razors over the years, from wires over the blade to keep you from cutting yourself, to strips of moisturizer, to twin, triple, four blade, and five blade razors. The triple blade razors were great, and after that I thought, "ok more blades are just some gimmick to sell new razors",...

The Gillette Fusion razors are a product that I never saw myself buying for the men in my life.  For disposable razors, or refillable razors, they are quite expensive.  They retail anywhere from $8-12 and the refill blades cost around $9.  I often have coupons for these giving me a discount, and they are often on sale, but still costly.  However, my dad and DH have both said they are the best razors they have ever gotten.  I gave some of these as gifts at Christmas, and they were very popular.  My brother was so in awe of the ones I gave out that we had to go and buy him one before the store...
