[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am loving this Gillette Fusion Razor. The pivoting head and great razor blades are giving me such a close shave. This has becoming my favorite razor by far. I have recommended this to multiple friends/coworkers also. Love, Love, Love

I was already a Gillette user and fan before I received the new Fusion Progilde with Flexball Handle. Frankly, I did not expect that the new design and the additional blade would make much of a difference. I was happily surprised when I used it the first time (and every other time since) at how close the shave is and how much better it really is. I had read an article speculating that adding a fifth blade was some sort of razor marketing arms race, and I don't know how much that additional blade makes a difference or how much is the result of the roller ball, I just know that this is a great razor that produces a great shave. The razor has some weight to it...it feels solid, and I like that. It really does get a close shave without razor burn or nicks. Now I just need to find a good home for the old blades I just bought...because I do not want to go back to my old razor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this razor for almost a month now and I am still impressed! My old razor was a Gillette but it did not perform at the level of this razor. The Flexball Handle Technology allows the razor to easily follow ever contour of my face while maintaining constant contact with my skin. The added range of motion provided by the ball became instantly evident when I was able to cleanly clear a sizable portion of my face in one clean cut without having to pick up the razor and adjust the blade to a different angle. I really love this razor even after a month of constant use, usually 3-4 times a week.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good concept! I have a heavy beard, sensitive skin,and shave twice a day. The cartridges cost to much also. That is the reasons I won't buy any cartridges for this razor and give it three stars for the concept.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Gillette Fusion ProGlide handle is very comfortable to hold and easy to use. I like that thanks to Gillette I got to try it for free. It feels like a good quality, not cheap handle. It feels substantial when I hold it and its also very easy to change the blade. This is really great and of good quality.

I received the Gillette fusion proglide cartridge free via a program ran by Gillette. I found the new cartridge to be significantly better than previous products that I have tried. The ProGlide razor created a smoother cleaner shave than other products. There was less pull and tug on the hairs while shaving. The strip on the cartridge really moisturized my skin while shaving. It was incredible smooth and soft after using the Proglide cartridge by Gillette.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon receiving the razor, I was thinking how nice was the packaging. The next day, I decided to use the razor. The first thing I thought, eh, another same razor. I was wrong! First of all, the blades seem to be the real deal. Most razor tends to use cheap/dull blades. Not the Fusion...I really got a close shave using it. It also contoured to my face and made it easy to reach the hard spots. Mind you, I didn't shave for 7 days, so the razor had a very tough workload. Once I was done,I just marveled at the head of the razor. It had 6 or 7 blades that were easy to rinse the hair out since it had gaps in between to rinse out the gook. Great idea! All in all, I was happy using it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For me the handle was just too small in my hands, and I think my hands are only about average size. The rubber grippy parts of the handle didn't offer much grip once wet and my index finger kept sliding off and hitting the cartridge ejector button. Maybe my hands are too big, but for me, this handle is just another handle.

There's no doubt the proglide version of the Gillette fusion is outstanding. But is it sigificantly better than the original fusion? This is what I've found. I shave in the shower, warm water, using a unscented Gillette shaving gel. The handle of the proglide has a slightly different shape, more of a knob at the end. I suppose the knobv makes it easier to grasp the end of the razor when making gentle swipes alog the skin, sort of an artist at work. But the handle of the original fusion is also okay, and I don't think the new handle is much of an improvement, if any. The blades in the cartridge are great, more than marginally better than the original. A few easy swipes do the job for most of the face. I've found the razor shaves closer than the original about the neck and above the upper lip. Result is the shave time is quicker with a good result. I also believe a proglide cartridge will last longer than the fusion. I've used one cartridge for about twenty shaves, and so far it is doing the job. thus, since the cartridge seems to give more shaves, that fact ought to offset the extra cost. Bottom line is, the new proglide fusion is great, better than the original, but since the original fusion cartridges also do a great jobb, I plan to use them up before switching over to the proglide.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These razor companies need to stick with fixed mounted head razor. With all of the moving this razor does, it makes it very difficult to get a close and concise shave. I am not impressed with this and will stick to my Gillette fixed head razor instead.
