Product Review: Doesn't Provoke Folliculitis!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you suffer from folliculitis, this may just be the razor you were waiting for! I tried the Mach 3 a few different times over the years but all it would take was just one shave and, boom!, my face would break out with folliculitis. Although Gillette claims the Mach 3 reduces irritation, I always found it super irritating.
Two things seem different about the Fusion. The closer spacing of the blades seems genuinely to reduce the irritation I found in the Mach 3. The Mach 3 always seemed to dig into my face and scrape away layers of skin. Not so with the Fusion!
Second, it seems to me that the way that the Fusion shaver cartridge is mounted to the handle makes for a better angle of shave. I haven't noticed that Gillette makes any claim that the way the Fusion's blade is mounted is any different from the Mach 3, but still, I think it is slightly different. I always felt like the leading edge of the Mach 3 shaver cartridge had too sharp an angle against my skin. It seems like the Fusion avoids this by mounting the "hinge" farther back on the shaving cartridge. Thus, the rubber fins in front of the blades makes the cartridge ride more level or flat over the face. Truly an improvement however it was achieved!
Also, before I used the Fusion, I thought five blades were a little ridiculous. I figured you could never get close in front of the ears, under the nose, etc. However, I have found that five blades aren't ridiculous. The special trimmer blade is nice but I find I don't hardly need it. I can get into close spaces generally without it.
In the end, I have used the Fusion and enjoyed a totally comfortable shave! No folliculitis outbreaks resulted from my use of it! I really like the razor.
Product Review: Excellent price
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't get me wrong, it's a lot of money to spend on razors but the Fusion is the best I've ever used. The best price I found and typical Amazon speed and ease.Product Review: Excellent--But expensive! (see tip at end of review)
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, I've gotta hand it to the Gillette people...They've come up with an excellent product...One that you will want to use again and again...Of course, they charge an absolute premium for these blades, because they know that people will come back to them. While the blades are indeed excellent, I've found recently that the real key to a good shave is using a premium shave cream...Not the stuff you normally find on grocery shelves, but something natural from a company such as Arbonne. At any rate, the blades work as well as advertised, although in my experience they only last about 4-5 good shaves before replacement is needed. Here's a money-saving tip for you....You DO NOT need to use "power" replacement blades on a Fusion "power" razor...The Fusion non-power blades fit the "power" razor, but cost a chunk of change less and work exactly the same.Product Review: Expensive but worth it

Every year, blades get better, and more expensive too. I have a tough beard, and of all the blades over the years, probably over 40 types, these work the best. Expensive, but I haven't found anything well that cuts my tough beard as well.Product Review: Expensive...

I bought this on Amazon as it is not yet available here in India. Purely as replacement cartridges they are very very expensive. (of course Amazon has it on sale right now). There is not much to review on the replacement cartridges.
As far as the shaving experience goes, it is absolutely fabulous. It is extremely smooth and saves time while shaving. The lube strip seems to wear out faster than the Mach , but I could be mistaken there as I've been using it for a a few days only now.
For the price, the packaging is pretty flimsy.
