Customer Reviews of Gillette Razor Power, Fusion Gamer, 1-Count Package
Customer Review: Good shaver for the mort part
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I received this shaver from the Amazon Vine program and immediately inserted the battery and gave it a shot. The vibrating feature seems a bit gimmicky, and I'm not sure if it actually did anything to the stubble on my face.
The five blade system does it's job, leaving a very smooth trail on my face and overall a clean shave that I was glad to have had. With no missed spots and no real burn on my face this razor did it's job and I would gladly use it again.
The extra blade, used to "edge" seems to be better in theory than actual practice. In order to use it, you need to hold the razor at an awkward angle and it really didn't seem to edge anything.
Overall, a very positive review for Gillete's newest razor.
Customer Review: Too close a shave?
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
So I'm thinking, why would you make a razor that vibrates? I notice the ribbed texture on the handle and the waterproof nature of the device....
Seriously though, after my wife and I stopped cracking jokes, I tried it side by side with the regular Fusion Gamer (non powered handle) which I've had for a few months.
Visually the handle isn't much larger, but when you actually use it it definitely seems more clumsy. Perhaps I will get used to it.
The fairly strong vibrations are a little unnerving at first but you get used to it pretty quickly. I ended up with a closer shave than I had intended as you have a hard time telling how much pressure you're applying when it's on.
Next I started on my face.......
Customer Review: very nice, if you dont already have the MACH3
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The handle itself is very convenient (and with great colors). Although it feels bit lighter than the steel handle, it still give enough comfort and precision.
Battery life is great (as long as you remember shutting it of after each shave). Also, battery isolation is pretty good as well. Dealing with a lot of water very good, with not a single drop inside the chamber.
The razor itself is good, but my skin likes it less than the normal MACH3, so I guess I would suggest trying it first with a normal handle, before purchasing this one.
The sad thing is that I already have a MACH3 power (vibrating) handle, so why do I need to buy yet another one, to enjoy it with the FUSION razor?
Customer Review: Close shave, but distracting vibrating feature
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The bottom line with this shaver is that you'll get a close shave, and will be able to trim the "tighter" spots with the precision blade. I did find it kind of odd to have the feeling of a vibrating device running up and down my cheeks and neck as I shaved ... but you should know that the user has control over the vibrating feature (on or off, no variable settings).
The product gets 4 out of 5 on account of the snap-in holder. It's large and bulky and makes the unit tough to travel with (assuming you want it snapped into its case). Additionally, I give it a 4 since I did not enjoy the vibrating feature and would not pay extra for it.
Customer Review: +5.0% Attractiveness
Summary: 4 Stars
Although I have not personally used this product, my boyfriend has, and I can guarantee that it had an immediate effect on his Attractiveness rating. The Fusion Gamer is very newbie-friendly; it teaches you how to shave through a quick and easy in-shave Gillette tutorial. Controls are generally intuitive, although it would've been nice if it came with shaving cream -- most shavers do these days, so for the Fusion to require this as add-on content is just cheap.
Cons: there are some camera issues, especially when you're trying to shave under the chin. Also, the AI is a little buggy, and he had to keep turning the razor on and off whenever it got hung up in a certain area. Finally, the targetting could really use some work as the razor kept trying to shave off parts of his facial hair that he wanted to keep.
