Product Reviews of Gillette Fusion Manual Razor
Product Review: Great for Sensitive skin! Doesn't tear up your face.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had such a horrible time with razors basically eating up my face. I had been using the Mach 3 and Gillette 3 blade disposible (along with Edge Ultra-sensitive gel), but noticed more and more razor bumps. It got so bad, that I had to take the day off from work because I couldn't show my totally raw/cut/irritated face. Needless to say, my skin is sensitive.
Well, I didn't shave for 2 days trying to baby my skin so it would recover. The next day, I had to shave so I had to make a decision
As with most cases, when I need something answered, or need other people's opinions, I fired up the good ol' web browser. I started by researching electric razors since I heard they were easier on your face, but after reading the reviews, I couldn't see spending $150 for something that may not even help and probably wouldn't give me as close a shave.
I had heard of the Fusion and it did sound interesting to me. The 5 blade feature didn't impress me as much as the fact that the blades are closer together. I figured if they're closer it wouldn't give my skin the chance to get between them and be sliced off - excuse my graphic language :) I looked up reviews on the Fusion and found some mention of it being good for sensitive skin. That did it for me, so off I went to buy a Fusion.
When I got to the store, their were rows and rows of empty racks (I would guess at least 20 rows) where all the Fusions had been. Seems like they're very popular with the local crowd. Anyhow there was ONE left and I nabbed it.
Got it home and immediately went in to shave.
What a difference! No razor new razor bumps, and it didn't even irritate the old ones (from my Gillette disposables). No cuts, no irritation whatsoever! And it really gives you a smooth shave. Even my wife was impressed with my smooth face!
So, moral to this story. If you have sensitive skin, and you want a really close shave with no irritation, get the Fusion. And yes I agree, the cartridges are pretty expensive, but to me my face is worth it.
Product Review: Great razor...smooth shave
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried just about every configuration of razors: from one blade to five, including the Fusion Power. The Fusion Manual is the best I've used. It is good in the hand, well balanced and easy to handle.
The shave is close and it is easy to clean under running water. Not like the other razors that clog up and you have to tap the blade on the sink to try to get the gunk out.
The brilliant move to include a single blade on the back of the cartridge has made my life easier.
This razor is so good, I bought one for my home and one for my travel kit.
Give it a try!
PS - The Fusion Power worked OK, it just didn't cut as smooth. It felt as if it was "pulling" on my beard.
Product Review: Great shave, long lasting blades
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using the SensorExcel for several years and thought I was happy. I received the Gillette Fusion as a free promo and decided to try it. The initial sensation of having 5 blades scrape across my face was a bit unsettling (I imagined a layer of skin being shaved off) but the results were startling. Very close and comfortable shave -- only the beard was removed, not the skin. Single blade on the reverse side works fine for trimming sideburns and under the nose. I used the first blade for 22 shaves and did not nick myself once. I could only get 6-7 shaves out of a Sensor blade so, for me, the high price for Fusion blades is justified.Product Review: Husband Loves His New Razor!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my husband (who insists on using manual razors). He loves this razor! He said it is a very smooth, close cut. And he really liked the "flip side" sideburn trimmer. We also bought the Fusion shaving lotion and balm, which he would recommend.Product Review: I had to edit this review... DOH!
Summary: 3 Stars
I still believe this razor for the most part is a gimick. Tonight when shaving I changed the cartridge that came on the handle to the spare on the back of the case and I got much better results. I took a closer look at the original cartridge and it didn't look right. Looks dull to me, no wonder I was getting cut up bad. I have contacted Gillette and I'm waiting for a response. I hope this isn't some kind of manufacturing flaw, but if it is this razor should be recalled or we should be compensated.
Anybody else have this problem?
