Customer Reviews of Gillette Fusion Power Battery Powered Shaving System, 1 System
Customer Review: I didn't feel any irritation at all...
Summary: 5 Stars
I 've been using the M3 power for a while now, one problem I've had is the mustache hairs under my nose. Well, the new precision trimmer fixed all that, no hairs left, anywhere. I didn't feel any irritation at all, no hassle to get hairs out of the blades either.Customer Review: I have thick stubble by day two and the shave is as good as ever.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the New Fusion Power Razor on January 26th at CVS. I've been shaving with it almost everyday starting January 27th. It is a totally new shaving experience! The razor glides over your face easier than any razor I've ever used, and there is less...almost no...irritation. The time it takes me to shave has not been significantly reduced, but it has helped some and I do like the less irritation that it provides.
I've found the new razor lasts me 5 to 7 days of shaving before it wears out. However, the blue strip does wear out after about 4 days, but I continue to use it for a few more. I had used the Mach 3 Power razor for several years and the new Fusion Power is the best shave yet. I had similar results with the Mach 3 blades lasting about 5 to 7 shaves.
I usually let me face have a rest on the weekend from all the shaving during the week, and I haven't stopped that tradition. For the past two weekends I skipped a day and shaved on Sunday or Monday morning.
The razor has had no problems shaving through two days of growth. I have thick stubble by day two and the shave is as good as ever. The razor doesn't get clogged and can be cleaned out easily.
I'm getting use to the new precision trimmer on the back of the razor to shave under my nose and side-burns. I'm more impressed with the results than I was on day one, but not as I am with my old Sensor razor, which is what I still find myself using for those hard-to-reach areas.
I've been using Gillette products for 17 years. I started with the Sensor and have bought and used every razor Gillette has made since! I have 'em all!
The price is high, I'll admit it! But I think I'm going to stick with the New Power Fusion for now. I still have some of the Mach 3 Power blades I need to use so once those are gone, I'll be strictly using the Fusion Power Razor.
One other thing to consider is the kind of shaving cream or gel you use. I've noticed that the better, "more expensive" ones provide a better feeling during and after a shave. I currently use Gillette's Shaving Gel, but I want to try the new Fusion Hydra Gel. I also want to try the King of Shaves gel. I've also found the Neturogena razor defense post shave lotion to be a great product!
Ultimately, the razor looks good and feels good in your hand. The shave is great and I'm hooked!
Customer Review: For one 5 blades is just a scary idea for me.
Summary: 4 Stars
Ok I was a little scared about using this shaver. For one 5 blades is just a scary idea for me.. I mean overall the head is pretty big I say, even if the blades are small.
Of course the biggest concern is since the blades are so close together, that they are going to get clogged up.
Well I bought it from the store yesterday, and just got done shaving with it right now.. Wow.... For one it really has cut the time it usually takes to shave. That's considering all the other shavers i've ever had... It really has cut the time...
It is scary cause it feels like the blades are sticking to your skin, yet the whole shave is surpisingly smooth. I was able to shave under my nose and under my lips, and not a single cut, or even the sense that I'd be cut.
It really made short work of my face... Which I personally only shave once or twice a week. So my hair does grow over the week.
Surpisingly not once did I have to actually Clean the blades, or try really hard to get the gunk out. Everything just seemed to clean just fine under the water.
However this is the reason I am giving it a 4 stars rather then a 5 stars (but seriously is there such a thing as the perfect razor in the first place?). I feel that these blades won't last as long as say the mach 3 power blades.. Just cause they are so close together. While I was really happy with the first shave and how smooth it was. I feel like i'm waiting for something to happen.
Customer Review: I hated shaving every other day as I found the shave quite uncomfortable.
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used twin blade razors all my life, never got into the three blade hype as I found them a little expensive. I hated shaving every other day as I found the shave quite uncomfortable. But with my ever increasing stubble, I wanted to find an alternative.
I found this one at Kroeger and decided to give it a try. I was very impressed with the shave, it was very smooth and much more comfortable than any two blade razor. What was most impressive was it cut far less than the other razors. The turbo option doesnt really improve the shaving experience though and so I shave without the turbo power. I do have to shave on the same spots again but I do not feel any discomfort as compared to the other razors. The trimming blade too is useful especially when working on the sideburns and underneath the neck, but it takes some time to figure out the "correct" way of holding the handle in this position.
But alas, all good things have a price and this one might be too expensive in the long run. I will have to see how many shaves my blades last to get the economics right.
In short, if you are still stuck with two blades and want to move to better options, I highly recommend this razor if you can afford the blades in the long run. But give it a try and see the difference !
Customer Review: When I finally spotted it...
Summary: 4 Stars
I had read about this razor and being a bit of a shaving fanatic myself, I waited patiently for my local store to get the razor in stock. When I finally spotted it, I imediately purchased it, took it home and tried it. So, does this razor live up to the hype?
When I came home and took the razor out of the package I was glad to see that the battery (1-AAA battery) was included but I was a little put off that it only came with one razor cartridge. I figured from past experience that there would be two but only one??? The razor itself has a decent weight and a nice shape so I quickly got over the fact that there was only one cartridge.
I brought the razor in the shower, washed my face and applied my shaving gel and was preparred to be wowed. I turned the razor on and it came to life with a solid hum. The power button on it seems to be better than the M3Power's because it protrudes a little less and it seems less likely to be accidently turned off while you're shaving. That being said, I began to shave. The first thing I noticed about the razor was the size of it's head. It seems rather large in comparison to the M3Power or even the Schick Quattro blades. Even though it did seem bigger, it didn't seem awkwardky big and I was still able to shave without it being cumbersome. The razor cut clean and smoothly though my beard and gave quite a comfortable shave. The blades easily rinsed under running water even though they are spaced quite closely to each other. I noticed on a few of my problem spots I still had to take multiple passes with the razor so in spite of having five blades, it couldn't perform miracles! There was the single trimmer blade on the back of the cartridge too but it really didn't seem to be very functional.
Overall I was quite satisfied with the quality and comfort of the shave. The question that I have now is that, in spite of a good shave, is this razor worth the extra price versus say, the M3Power or the Schick Quattro? Locally the refils go for about 30% more than the other "older" razors so, there is a signifigant price difference?
Personally, I'll continue to use this razor for a little while and look for the cartridges to be on sale but I honestly don't think the Fusion's shave is that far superior to either the M3Power or the Schick Quattro to justify paying that much extra.

Description of Gillette Fusion Power Battery Powered Shaving System, 1 System
Buy the Gillette Fusion Power now and experience Gillette's Most Comfortable Shave:Gillette Fusion Power is Gillette's Most Comfortable Shave. 8 years of shaving innovation and 20 more patents make Gillette Fusion Power better than MACH3. Gillette Fusion Power is an advanced shaving system with an advanced design that provides optimal performance when using either side of the razor. On the front of the cartridge, Gillette Fusion Power features 5 PowerGlide? Blades spaced closer together to form a shaving surface technology. This design distributes the shaving force across the blades to help reduce pressure, with more comfort and less irritation than MACH3. In addition to more comfort, the 5 Blade Shaving Surface engages more hair more times with successive cutting action, resulting in a closer shave.
 ? | The back of the cartridge has a truly innovative Precision Trimmer-a single blade built into the back of the cartridge, allowing you to easily trim sideburns, shave under your nose, or shape facial hair, such as goatees, soul patches, and chinstrap beards. A soft touch, secure handle that intuitively rolls through the fingers allows for an easy 180-degree transition between the shaving surface on the front and Precision Trimmer on the back. Gillette Fusion Power also contains a Flexible Comfort Guard that follows the contours of your face and pulls your skin taut for a comfortably close shave. Additionally, it features an Enhanced Indicator Lubricating Strip that gradually fades to white when you are no longer getting your optimal shave, so you always know when to change the blades. Inside the handle is an oscillating motor that delivers soothing micropulses, which help reduce friction and increase razor glide. Also living inside the handle is the onboard microchip, which creates an entirely new platform of technology that improves the system's performance and brings electronics to wet shaving for the first time. The microchip serves three primary functions: It regulates voltage for consistent power, it controls the Low Battery Indicator Light, which alerts you when the battery runs low, so you always have power when you need it, and it powers the Automatic Shut-Off, which turns the razor off after about 8 minutes in case of accidental activation and protects the battery during travel. |
