[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got my free Proglide Razor in the mail, and I was really excited to see if it would out-perform my Schick that I bought just because I had a coupon when I decided to use a cartridge razor in addition to an electric razor. I used it first to cut 1/4" facial hair, and it ripped and pulled a lot more than my Schick under the same circumstances. I'm not entirely sure why so many razor blades are "necessary," but it invariably reminds me of the Monkey Movie Shorts from long ago about the absurd number of blades on razors. When I used it the next day on one day's growth, it did a much better job. It still left my skin red and irritated, but I have sensitive skin. The 2-in-1 gel did not help, but the other product I normally use did a great job helping the razor glide and the aftershave I use helped to reduce the burn.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried many different shaving methods over the years. After I first started shaving in high school, I was using an electric shaver. It worked well enough and got me the close shave I desired at the time. I then moved to a modern manual razor, something like the Mach 3 or something. When I got tired of paying for the expensive razor cartridges, I switched to wet shaving with a brush and a double edge safety razor. I really enjoyed shaving in this manner. I recently tried out a Braun electric razor. It is probably the best electric razor I have ever used, but it doesn't get as close as a manual razor. After the electric razor, I was asked to try out the Fusion ProGlide with FlexBall Technology. I was hoping I wouldn't like it, because I know the replacement blades can be so expensive. This razor has given me some of the best shaves in recent memory, and much quicker than with a double edge safety razor. While the safety razor blades are much cheaper (often less than $0.10 each) it takes much more care and precision to get a good close shave without cutting yourself. The Fusion ProGlide razor was quick and safe. No cuts and it got just as close as my safety razor. It was good enough that I might have to switch, despite the high cost of replacement blades.

I line my facial hair along the jawline and the little ball really makes it easy. If you detail your facial hair this is definitely the way to go i would recommend to anyone that wants a smooth comfortable shave.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this Razor, it gives a very close shave, without worry of knicking and cutting your face! I love that it glides over the skin including all the bumps and wrinkles without pulling and cutting my skin! It gives a close straight razor shave without the worry of bleeding to death... my wife even noticed how soft and smooth my skin was, which is a change from what my normal shave is! Fusion ProGlide Manual Razor works as well if not better than my electric shaver and at a price that is way more attractive

This Flex ball is the best hand held shaver ever. I just received the closet,smoothest, most comfortable shave in my 45 years of shaving. No even the slightest hint of razor burn on my shin bones which I get when I use a new blade for the first time. This is such a super shaver that I have done something I have never done for any product ever and that is write a review on it. More than five stars in my book Gillette. No improvements needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had my 16 year old son with autism try this. He is not a person who likes to shave and usually puts it off for a week or longer and then struggles with an electric razor. This time we tried the Gillette Fusion Proglide Razor and shave gel. It was not a good experience. His beard growth was just too long for this to work properly. Once we got closer to his face and less hair it worked ok. This razor is just not a good one for his/our needs, but for someone who shaves daily it is probably a great razor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i got my razor about a week ago and was very anxious to try. i wondered how could they improve on a razor that was already the best. when i opened the package i saw the design was slightly differant. with the razor ball the head was able to move from side to side which meant the razor could follow the contours of your skin and have more contact with your face. the shave is improved even more because of the technology. i am really sold. it gives you a close comftable shave and actually cuts down my shaving time

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great razor gives the closest shave yet compared to all other Gillette razors. I have been using the battery operated Gillette razor but this one actually gives a much closer shave, especially around the nose and chin areas. The proglide razor ball really does the job. I have thrown my battery operated razor away.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fusion ProGlide manual razor with FlexBall Technology is by the far the best manual razor I have used. This razor moved smoothly and left no cuts. The razor truly does contour with your face. The handle feels great in your hand; not to heavy and not to light - just right. One pass, and the hair is gone! Awesome razor for sensitive skin as I have not experienced any razor bumps using this razor. After using Fusion ProGlide manual razor with FlexBall Technology to shave Daily, I am now confident that I have found the perfect manual razor to use for life. By the way, did I mention you face will feel smooth all day.

I was offered this razor through a program run by Gillette and I have to say, it offers the best shave of any razor I have used. The five blades glide along my face with virtually no tug or pull and the lubrastrip is noticeable. The only downside I have with this razor cartridge is that it doesn't seem to have a very long life. The lubrastrip is used up in about a week and the blades will wear out a lot faster for someone with thicker stubble. Overall a great razor that I will continue to use.
