[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually buy triple blade razors with disposable heads. I have not so much facial hair and can use one servicably for a month or so. I've been using this razor for a week and really like it. I also shave backwards as in against the growth of my facial hair. I've gotten a clean close shave each time with the first of the two heads. The shaving cream included is great but I prefer unscented. I can definitely see myself purchasing refills for this razor depending on price point which I have not checked. If price was no factor I'd say its as good or better than any disposable head razor I've used.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like a legendary, flannel-clad logger felling trees, Gillette's Fusion ProShield razor cleaves hair, leaving nothing behind. And that's a good thing. I've used Gillette for a while, so I'm familiar with their products, though I usually tend toward their lower-priced items. As such, it was nice to explore something new from them. Process: As always, I shaved right after a shower. This has always seemed to make for a better shave for me. Also, I used the Gillette Fusion Proglide Sensitive shaving gel that was provided in my BzzKit. Positives: This razor worked as well as I'd expect one right out of the box should. With five blades, one expects a close shave, and it was very smooth. It'd been a while since I last shaved, and sometimes that means a snagged hair here or there; I didn't have that issue with this razor. Also, my Adam's Apple, as some men might relate, has always been a tricky area for me: thinner skin, bumpy ridges, potential for knicks. I didn't have any problems, though, which was nice. Negatives: At this point, it's hard to point out any blatant negatives. The only thing I didn't care for much with this razor is the swivel head. I understand their point is to help contour to the skull, but they've always seemed to swivel in such a way that they don't always get as close as a non-swivel head would. Also, I wasn't completely sold on the provided shaving gel. It seemed a little thicker than the foaming gel I've used in the past, even when applying it to my face; imagine the consistency of soft-peaked meringue. The smell hasn't bothered me, yet, though, and since it's wafting into my nose all day, that's an important factor to keep in mind. Conclusions: As of right now, I have no real reason to stop using this razor. Everything new takes time to adjust to, so I will try to re-review after some more use, to see how well the razors hold up over time. Part of that long-term testing will also include my wife. She likes to use my old razors for her armpits. Maybe weird for some, but she prefers men's razors over the women's stuff. Once I get a few more uses, and she gets a chance to see what she thinks, I'll reevaluate where I stand. Four stars. Good product, but it hasn't yet convinced me to switch to it for life.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First let me start by saying that I did receive this product free from Gillette in return for my honest review. Second, before trying this product, one should ask themselves, "Am I not happy with my current razor?" My personal experience after trying this razor was not a pleasant one. They claim lubrication before and after the shave, which is true, only it left my face feeling uncomfortabley greasy. The razor itself is also bulky and a bit heavy for a razor. The handle is rather slippery when wet. As for the Flexball Technology, it does what it says, contours to your face better than other razors, although I could not line myself up with this razor, it does not seem to get the edges that smooth. The only pro I found is the fact that it shaves off more hair with one stroke due to the five blades it has. Overall I do not think I would switch from my current razor to this one. I currently use and will continue to use my Gillette Mach 3 Turbo, so I am fond of Gillette products which is why I was surprised to find the Gillette Fushion Proshield Manual Razor with Flexball Technology unsatisfactory.

I subscribed not long after I heard about them, and chose the three month interval. Because I shave every couple days, and I can stretch my blades as needed. My only issue was the packaging. When it first arrived with the blades and handle, I was confused. Because the box it arrived in was blank except for the shipping information. The same can be said about the second box with the first blades only box. Six months later, I still have almost two packs of blades. So I am set for a while and I may extend my subscription to six month intervals.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The flex ball technology gave me the closest shave I've gotten with a razor ever, and the best part yet, I didn't get a single knick! And what's more its smooth action shaves in one sweep cutting down the time spent shaving. I would recommend it to anyone and it has definitely become my favorite razor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the new Gillette fusion pro shield and shave gel for free from Gillette recently. I was definitely impressed with how effortless it made shaving. Very close and smooth shave. The shave gel was better than expected also. I was honestly expecting it to come with a tiny packet of shave gel or something but it was a full size can. I definitely would go back to this combo in the future. Gillette has always made good products in my opinion.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This razor is absolutely for shaving I shaved my face and it didn't pull my thick hair like the other brands razors do. I am glad I got to try this I am definitely investing more money into more blades for this razor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Two weeks in with the Gillette Fusion ProShield and I'm still a huge fan! My neck is definitely less sensitive after using this razor. For example, my wife is a big fan of essential oils. Typically, if I put them on my neck after I shave I get a burning sensation. Since using the ProShield I have noticeably less irritation - and no burning when I use the essential oils! I've been using my ProShield with the Gillette Fusion Sensitive shave cream and it's a match made in heaven. I'm going to try and take a before and after picture before the end of the campaign for you all to see, but I won't be going back to my normal ol' Proglide!

I tried both manual razors and I found that the ProGlide is superior to the ProShield. I use the razors to shave my head and I found that the lubricating strips wear down faster than the other razor also the micro comb on the ProShield irritates my skin and gives the shave a coarser feel. It actually feels like I have to take more strokes to get a better shave than the ProGlide.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to admit that I might not be the greatest person to tell you whether a razor is great or not as I have a beard and only use a razor about once a month to shave the bottom portion of my neck, but I have to admit that I was REALLY impressed by this razor. First off, it did a fantastic job doing my neck (which is a very delicate part and can often be a place of razor burns and cuts) and was as smooth as I can ever remember. However, the really amazing thing was how smooth it was. It really felt like I wasn't shaving at all and I was worried it wasn't working - it was that smooth. This guy is definitely my number one razor now and I expect to use it for a long time. It was really cool that it had 4 blades instead of 3 as opposed to my previous razor. Fewer strokes. Love it! I received this product free from Gillette.
