[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my Gillette Fusion Proglide Razor with Flexball razor about two weeks ago and have had a chance to shave with it four times. I was skeptical and wanted to know how well the flexball actually worked. I must say that i am impressed with the articulating ball design of the razor that forms to my face. I have a blocky chin and normally get nicks and cuts under my jaw line and between my nose and upper lip. I would recommend this razor to anyone looking for a comfortable shave without having to go over the same spot in multiple locations.

I received the Gillette Fusion ProGlide SilverTouch Manual Razor with FlexBall Handle to try for free from Gillette. At first glance, the new FlexBall caught my eye. Since I have a beard, I'm always on the lookout for something to help cleanly edge my facial hair without taking big chunks out. This is the product. The FlexBall really does allow the razor to move around my face easily and without pulling or leaving red bumps...which means that I can keep the shape of my facial hair intact and the skin around it smooth! I also like that the trimming blade is on this razor - it helps me trim my sideburns.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the first time trying the new razor. It really does shave like no other razor I have tried. It's pretty cool how the razor forms and tilts to the contour of your face and provides a really clean shave. Razors can sometimes be a little expensive, but I think this new razor is worth the price. I can see myself using this product for a long time.

Let me preface this by stating that I am a Gillette user. Gillette is my blade of choice, although I do not use them as often as I used since the price becomes prohibitive. When I tried the FlexBall handle out, I was both pleased and disappointed. The handle does in fact pivot as advertised. That pivot does truly make all the difference. The head pivoted in such a way to hit all the problem areas, including that tight spot around my Adam's Apple. No other razor I have ever used has reached that area with such efficiency as the this one...not even my electric razor (which is why I stopped using it and went back to manual blades). But this experience was not all sunshine and roses. The first shave was good, however the second was noticeably worse and the third just tore my face up. The same thing happened when I replaced the blade. Normally, my ProFusion blades last anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks with shaves every 3-4 days. So to have this razor give out after just the first shave is very upsetting. My personal theory is that the two blades that came with the handle were "starter" blades. Much like the starter ink cartridges with inkjet printers. I can't see that the handle itself would cause this razor to die so quickly. If the "starter" blades were better I would give this a 5-Star rating, but considering how many nicks and cuts and rashes I received after the first shave, I could not in good conscious give it a higher rating.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I know I probably shouldn't be looking into the men's shaving dept. for shaving supplies, but the Fusion ProGlide is the closest, most comfortable shave my legs have EVER had, thank you Gillette! The best a woman can get too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Fusion pro glide razor's design is handsome! The handle of the weight is well balanced; its heavy enough that feel no need to put extra weight when shaving and is light enough that it isn't a burden to use. The overall design is splendid. Regarding the flex ball, the part that sets this razor apart from the rest, it is perfectly able to run over the contours of my face. It's much more favorable than the cheap cartridge razors you may have previously used. As for the 2 in 1 shaving gel, it is equally as appealing. I chose to test the ocean breeze scent. When applied, it immediately provides a great cooling feeling. Also, It lathers up easily. As for the container itself, I previously stood away from shaving gels in pressurized containers, but the new design of the gillete shave gel takes away the mess that previously was problematic. Overall, the shaving gel is definitely one to try. I really couldn't find s reason to not suggest it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used the Fusion ProGlide Razor for a couple of weeks now, I don't get the appeal of more than two blades, the ProGlide seems to work well, but I don't have issues with cutting myself with my other razors. Overall, this is a good razor, but I don't see spending extra cash on the hype.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Gillette products since, well the beginning. In other words, ever since I was a teenager and started to shave, I've been using only Gillette razors and shaving foam, cream etc. And almost every year or two, they introduce new products and new innovations that makes them who they are. Leaders! Nobody comes close in terms of the cleanest, smoothest and safest shave that a man can get. With the fusion proglide razor and 2-in-1 gel, they have taken it to the next level of comfort and confidence! What will they think of next!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried almost every Gillette razor released in the last ten years. The flexball razor blew all of them away on my first shave. I shave every other day, and I'm used to tug and pull with razors. Even with the other Gillette razors I've had issues. This razor, on the first shave, was amazing. No tug and pull, no razor burn, ease of use, and it glided amazingly on my face. It was a super fast, almost perfect shave. Then the next time I went to use it (two days later), it started to feel like the Gillette razors I've been used to. It had minor tug and pull, didn't get every spot on the first pass, and I got a little razor burn on my neck. The third use (another two days later) left it almost unusable. Half-way through shaving, I switched to a new disposable, three blade cheapo razor to finish. Three uses and the blade was done, and I didn't even leave it in the shower. It just sat on my sink between uses. It did give an amazing shave the first time, but I don't know if the price of blades justify purchasing this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best razor I have owned. I have very tough facial hair and this is one of the only razors that work. Works exceptionally well with jack black beard lube which actually extends the blade life too.
