[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I get my package in the mail. Inside was a bottle of Gillette shave gel and a Fusion ProGlide Razor. I was ready for a nice shave experience but I was not ready for the smoothest, closest shave experience I have ever had. Not only did I have total control of the blade movement, it actually seemed like it formed to my facial contour and was able to get into any tight spot without cutting me. Overall I appreciate this razor for providing me a fabulous shave and I will be using it again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This razor is made for the person who has a hard time with sensitive skin. With the way it moves in every direction it assures a smooth shave with no nicks or cuts. I have recommended this to all my friends

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had a Fusion ProGlide manual razor with FlexBall for over a year now and have been using it as my backup razor to my vintage Gillette. I normally use a vintage razor for cost reasons. But it takes a lot of time to use a vintage razor and for a very basic shave. I keep the FlexBall around for times when I need a good quick shave with no hassle or going to an event in which a little bit of stubble isn't acceptable. I'm able to get a much closer shave in at least half the time with the FlexBall. The ProGlide cartridges are amazing, and are not that expensive if you can find a deal (just not as cheap as a pack of double bladed razors). If I wasn't so cheap, I'd probably use the FlexBall all the time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got my ProGlide razor through a free offer from Gillette. The ProGlide is the best razor I have ever used, period. No pulling, no stubble rash, it shaves me closer than any razor I've ever used. Typically I use a 2 blade system, lots of skin irritation, but it fits my budget. If I could change anything about ProGlide would be the price, replacement blades are SO EXPENSIVE!! They did include a $5 coupon for blades, nice thought. If budget isn't a concern, USE THIS product!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always been a fan of Gillette Fusion Blades and Razors. I have been using them for years! The razor with the ball in between the blade housing and handle I am not a fan of. I feel it is too flexible and flops everywhere. I don't think I would use or recommend this. I am a Fusion Power fan.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product and work as advertised. As an electric shaver user for the past few years, it's great to see a razor that smooth up the shaving with flexible handle technology. However I'm still concern with the refill package price to switch to this product again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a very tough beard. With the usual cartridge razor I can shave twice a day. With the Gillette Fusion ProGlide with the Flexball technology I have less stubble with the five blades and a lot less razor burn with the lubricating strip.The flexball technology allows the razor to fit the contours of your face better and the flexball puts a tension on the whiskers that allows a closer shave. Most important, if you rinse the razor well when done, it will last a lot longer than the usual cartridge razor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, what a smooth shave! I've always laughed at the increasing number of blades in razors. This coming from someone who has been using his 2-bladed Gillette Excel since he can remember. The Excel has always provided a clean, close shave but with the downside of raw, reddish, irritated skin. It was a consequence I accepted as just part of shaving. Now, I'm eating my crow, with relish! The Gillette Fusion ProGlide with its 5 blades cuts cleanly and smoothly, whether I went with the grain or against (I usually do with first, then against on a second pass--everyone says go with but how can you get a close shave that way?). I felt no nicks, pulls, or cuts, and my face never felt raw. Applying Nivea After Shave Balm post shave, I did not feel any burn like I normally do. It's a good indication to me that my skin wasn't raked raw. I also compared the ProGlide razor to my Norelco Coolskin 7775X electric shavor. I put in the new HQ8 replacement blades since the original HQ177 blades are no longer available. I found the HQ8 blades to be better than the HQ177: smoother and closer in my opinion. Many reviewers contend otherwise (I shave in the shower so perhaps others have different results because of different circumstances). I love my Norelco because it provides a smooth, close shave without irritation. But it takes time and a good number of passes to achieve the results. So in comparison to the Norelco, the ProGlide was equally smooth and close without the multiple passes and extra time. The smooth shave really won me over but there were other great features about the ProGlide razor. The articulating razor head was excellent at pivoting itself around cheek bones and jaw lines. As a result, the razor stayed glued to my skin for a close shave. Weight and grip of the razor felt solid and good, not plasticky or cheap. Love the dark chrome and metal feel. I haven't come to any conclusions on the FlexBall yet. I shaved without a mirror and didn't notice whether the FlexBall pivoted side to side as it was intended to. Perhaps it did to help navigate the contours of my face or perhaps it didn't and is just a marketing gimmick. I'll have to shave again, this time in front of a mirror to judge properly. The ProGlide razor isn't perfect and here is its one flaw: the razor head is big. How can it not be with 5 blades? Gillette did a fantastic job of keeping the blades thin, thinner than the Excel blades, but they do still command a bit of real estate. They are also slightly wider than the Excel. So all of this translates to some difficulty shaving hair at and around the upper lip. I could only shave with the grain here and very carefully at that. The razor just felt a little tall for that small region. I also had slight difficulty under the jaw where the skin dips. Again, because the razor head is relatively large and not easily maneuvered there. I can see myself improving my technique with practice so this isn't a major issue, just an issue for my first time out. I normally shave once a week, even with the Norelco. My skin usually requires a break before the next shave and shaving short stubble after a few days usually results in pain. But I am optimistic enough with the ProGlide experience that I will try shaving more frequently. If I am able to shave more often, then I can be content with a close enough shave rather than needing that super close shave. In fact, I would prefer to shave more often just so I don't look so scruffy by the week's end. Here's hoping...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The handle of this razor is very well built. It feels study and heavy with that cold metal touch to it. Very nice grips on it and helps the shaving experience. I like the feel of it a lot more than the Fusion Power, but it would be great if they made the power with this feel as I like the vibrating massage of the Power.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use Gillette Mac 3 for 10+ years and have great experience with it with no complaints as on today. I never experient and try any other shaving product, considering quality of Mac-3 there is no comparison with others. I received this trial kit from BzzAgent and I decided to try it. I am using it for last one week and I have great experience with it. Its better shave and skin remains smooth. I liked this product and I already decided to switch to Gillette Fusion ProGlide from Mac-3.
