Customer Reviews of Gillette Fusion Manual Replacement Cartridges (8 Cartridges)
Customer Review: Bottom line:
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first saw the ads on TV I thought it was a joke. Five blades!! I saw the item locally so I purchased it with the intention of shaving with it first thing in the morning. I am currently a Mach 3 user and I love it so I wondered if this Fusion thing would make a big difference. I honestly feel that the shave with the Fusion is of the same closeness at the Mach 3. However the Fusion has a HUGE bonus the extra blade (six) on the back of the shaving headto hit those stray hairs that remain under the nose that the Mach 3 normally misses. Also it is much easier to trim sideburns with the Fusion because you do not have to worry about hacking off a huge chunk with the mass of 3 blades with the Mach 3. A bit pricey and if the razor came at the same price as the Mach 3 I would commit to the upgrade, (Very Hard for guys to change hygeine products, we love the good old reliables). If you do not have a Mach 3 then I recommend purchasing the Fusion. Bottom line: Close shave, nice sideburn and stray hair trimmer, nice overall design of the handle, and a good looking razor. Thanks.Customer Review: While it might take a shave or 2 more to get all the hairs off then it does with the Fusion on the large surface area portions of my face mind you ...
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using Gillette's Fusion Razor for a few weeks now and it's a nice razor with some pros and cons compared to Gillette's other blades. Gillette has some of the nicest products on the market, and I expected the Fusion to blow me away, but unlike the jump that was made when the Mach3 came out, I was not as excited after my shave as I was for the hype beforehand.
The Good
- The 5 blades are very smooth and glides across the face easily.
- Shaving time IS reduced with this new razor.
The Bad
- With so many blades, I felt like I was shaving off layers of skin. I feel there is a limit to how many blades are realistic, and this felt like it was too big for my face and I could seriously cut myself if I wasn't careful.
- Shave isn't much better than the Mach3 Turbo. While shaving my skin felt really smooth, but my hairs grew back just as quickly as they did with the Mach3 Turbo (no noticeable improvement).
- This razor is SO big I found it hard to get around facial areas like I could with the Mach3.
- The lotion strips on the M3 Power feel better and seem to last longer than on the Fusion razor.
- Design and look of the Fusion isn't as slick or nice as the M3 Power.
- Blades are no longer interchangeable. They went with a new interface for putting blades in that seems to take a step back, and having to buy the new razor to work with the new blades was a sneaky move in my opinion.
- The single blade on the back is useless. It's very hard to get the angle correct, and it barely gets anything off. The M3 Power got in tight spots just fine.
In conclusion, I plan to stick with my M3 Power. 3 blades seems to be just the right amount for getting in all areas on the face. While it might take a shave or 2 more to get all the hairs off then it does with the Fusion (on the large surface area portions of my face mind you), the M3 Power just seems safer in general.
This is more like 3 1/2 stars. Yes it's a nice shave, but it's not worth all the hype or additional financial burden this new blade will put you back.
**** RECOMMENDED
Customer Review: Over the years...
Summary: 3 Stars
Over the years, Gillette has managed to make men pay more and more for their shaves-and we keep buying into the increased cost as if this is inevitable or necessary. The Fusion offers a good shave, but the price of the blades doesn't justify the result. Customer Review: Replacement Fusion cartridges are much too expensive and the shave one gets from them simply does not justify this kind of expense.
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought the Fusion manual razor and after using the two included cartridges and then seeing the cost of replacement cartridges, I have tossed my Fusion. Replacement Fusion cartridges are much too expensive and the shave one gets from them simply does not justify this kind of expense. I think the pricing of Fusion cartridges is like that of gasoline: we are being milked of every cent we are willing to part with.
Another issue I'm concerned about is that the clamshell packaging is dangerous if it is anything like the packaging used for Mach 3 cartridges. The plastic of the packaging will stab or slice you. It is unsafe for most adults. The government ought to force Gillette to design safer packaging.
The main reason for giving this product 1 star is the price. I'm not willing to part with $22 to $28 for 8 shaving cartridges.

Summary: 3 Stars
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.
