Customer Reviews of Gillette Fusion Manual Replacement Cartridges (8 Cartridges)
Customer 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.Customer Review: This Female loves it!
Summary: 4 Stars
Every review I have read regarding the Gillette Fusion razor and blades has been from a male. I am a female and love this razor for my legs and underarms! I received mine in the mail as a promotion about a year ago, and am still on the original blade! I often use my Remington electric shaver, but when I want a really smooth, close shave that lasts almost a week, I use my Gillette Fusion. So, while I've had it a year, I've probably used it a couple dozen times and the blade is just now starting to dull. I agree with others that the trimmer on the reverse side is a gimmick, especially for a female who doesn't shave sideburns or nose hair. My only complaint, like many other users of the Gillette Fusion, is the cost of replacement cartridges. Thankfully, one or two cartridges will last me a very long time!Customer Review: Great shave but way too costly
Summary: 3 Stars
When I first used the Fusion, I thought this was the greatest shave I've ever had. It actually felt like the blades had taken off a layer of skin. Not to the point of pain, but a feeling I've never had before. Clearly the 5 blade system offers something others don't.
Then came the realization that the shave went downhill after the 3rd use. The lube strip was virtually gone and I didn't get the great shave I had the first time I used it.
3 shaves and I can tell a difference. Are you kidding me? No my beard isn't rough or super thick. But I'm not going to swap blades out every 3 or 5 days just for that great feeling of the 1st and 2nd shave. I've tried all the tricks to keep the blades in good condition and can not keep them sharp past a week.
Customer Review: Shave as Close as You Dare
Summary: 5 Stars
This product gives the best shave ever. There are 5 blades, all parallel to each other, which is the secret to the close shave. Each blade is sharper than the one above it. The first blade, which is the least sharp, functions to pull the hair out of the follicle a bit, then the second blade cuts the hair and pulls on it some more, then the third blade cuts some more and pulls the hair out even further. Finally, before the hair can snap back, the fourth blade moves in, and cuts the wily hair to infinity. My theory is that the fifth blade is just a marketing ploy and it really doesn't do anything. So, if you are willing to spend the money for the closest shave ever, buy this product. Or, if you are out of work because of the economy, you should get a Bic razor from Wal Mart.Customer Review: Glad I didn't pay for it
Summary: 2 Stars
I had a Fusion handle and blade sent to me by the Gillette company to try. I have to say that I am thankful I didn't pay the premium cost they are asking for this product. It was the most uncomfortable shave I've ever had next to dry-shaving. The idea of the single blade on the reverse side for "precision" is only useful because the five blade side is so bulky it can't be manipulated well enough to give a clean line for sideburns or under the nose.
Immediately after my shave I had a five o'clock shadow, which was promptly cleaned up by shaving AGAIN with my Mach 3.
What's next from Gillette? 20 blades to remove the first layer of skin and gouge out the hair folicle? Perhaps reshape your jaw bone to give you that "Executive Look" ?
