[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a new experience for me. The ProGlide Razor with FlexBall actually flexes on two pivots making a clean shave effortless. I was able to use fewer strokes and didn't have to change hand positions much at all; I could go from the bottom of my neck up to my sideburns in a single, quick stroke and the shave head just conformed to the contours of my face. I have very sensitive skin so very prone to irritation, and this made for a very easy, very clean shave.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed shaving with the FlexBall. I thought it worked great at some areas that I had trouble with using my old razor. However, I'm not a big fan of the 5 blades. I prefer 2 or 3 blades. Give me the FlexBall on my old Gillette Sensor, and it would be the perfect razor for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Fusion ProGlide razor with FlexBall Technology is a great product if you want baby smooth skin on your face. Easy to use and the handle grip works well too. No nicks or cuts to speak of. I would absolutely recommend this to a friend.

This razor is a piece of junk. I use warm/hot water to soften the hair first. Then use a gel and wait 5 min.for the gel to soften the hair. This razor just glides over the hair on the first stroke. You have to repeat the same area 3 times to get a good shave. These blades don't contact the hair on the first stroke because of the blue spacer.

As a guy who shaves both my head and my neck (I leave stubble on my face) it was very important to find a blade that gives a good, close shave without causing irritation. The Gillette Fusion ProGlide is the best I have found. Shaving the top of your head means you have to have a razor that will do well going around tricky areas (around the ears for example) and will do well shaving areas that you can't even see (the back of the head). The Gillette Fusion ProGlide does a great job with everything. My shave is always close and smooth and very rarely do I get a nick or any kind of irritation. Compared to its competitors I believe the ProGlide definitely stands at the top of the list.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Gillette razors ever since I started shaving, and this is by far the best one they have come out with yet in a manual razor. I would definitely recommend this razor to anyone who wants a good close shave with none of the razor burns, bumps, cuts, etc...

I have used straight razors in the past but have been an electric shaver user for years. I have recently received a Fusion Proglide straight razor from Gillette to try out and was totally amazed with the shave I experienced with it. First of all, this razor is light to the feel and when shaving I can hardly tell I have anything against my skin. The shave it gave me was very smooth and complete. I didn't have to worry about nicks or cuts on my skin. Overall, after my first straight razor shave in years, I was totally impressed. Nice job Gillette on this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: never had a razor cut this close; feels very comfortable in hand; look of razor is impressive Cons: not sure how the pivoting head helps as people do not shave in zigzag motions across their face. I shave in the shower. At the very end of the shower. This allows me beard to get much softer through hot water and steam as I do everything else. This extra time to soften beard makes those VERY expensive blades last much longer. My blade typically lasts 4-5 weeks shaving every other day. I used to just shave in sink and just splashing hot water on beard doesn't soften it enough and blades do not last near as long. With this said, I still have not changed the blade and it's still cutting for sharp after 4 weeks (8 shaves). Seems to be sharper at this point than previous shaver heads of other ones I've tried. As I mentioned above, most people shave in a straight line on their face. The only way a pivoting razor head would be beneficial was if you shaved in a zigzag pattern on your face allowing the head to rotate to the left/right as you applied pressure to it and changed direction back and forth on your skin. People just do not shave like that! Whether it's vertical, horizontal or diagonal across your face it's always in a straight line. So, do I buy the marketing hype around the pivoting head to get a closer shave? No. Does this razor shave closer than anything I've ever had? Yes. Would I buy another as a gift for a friend...absolutely!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Using this razor has been fantastic with my old razor id consistently have little hairs that I would miss because my razor couldn't get neatly in to reach it but with the Gillette fusion proglide it wasn't a problem at all.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been strictly an electric shaver guy because I felt it was closer and smoother than anything else I have ever dealt with. Until now! This new Gillette Fusion Pro Glide is so smooth and so close that it feels like my skin has been renewed. I felt clean and fresh for the first time in years and years. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a close smooth shave without having to make multiple,passes.
