[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After years of being a Schick Quattro user, I didn't think I would change...until I tried the Gillette Fusion Proglide Power Cartridges. Pros: It's the longest lasting cartridge I've ever used. Using it 4-5 days per week, it held for up for 4 weeks and didn't lose it's sharpness. This was better than my Schick. I hate shaving and have sensitive skin, but the razor worked really well, giving me a close shave without tugging or pulling. I didn’t think smaller blades would be as effective, but it actually helps decrease pull & tug. Blade stabilization was great for the contours of my face. The handle makes it very easy to hold and glide over my skin. Con: An enlarged Lubristrip lubricates skin, allowing for a smoother shave, however, sometimes I felt it left a little too much residue on my skin. I like to use aftershave after shaving and with the residue it felt a little too much. Note: Received free product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So the razor works really well. Solid design with swivel makes it really fast to shave close and cleanly. The only kind of strange thing was when the green strip that provides smoothness and tells you when the head needs to be replaced, came apart. It changed from green to white during use, which isn't terrible, but then large chunks of it came off on my face. This was easily washed off, but seems kind of strange. Still a great razor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't think I was ever going to find a better razor than my current Gillette Fusion but they sure did kick it up a notch with the new FlexBall technology! This razor glides smoother than any other and I am very thankful for that. Kudos Gillette for always being the leader in innovation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was really surprised with this razor. I have used some of the others from Gillett in the past and have had mixed experiences with them. This one did great though, it didn't clog when cutting longer facial hair and left me smooth when all was said and done.

I was selected to give the new Gillette Proglide Manual razor with the flexball technology a try and boy could I tell a difference from regular razors. To start with the razor just looked different from all other razors. Then when I used it for the first time, I could really tell there was a difference. It truly only takes one stroke with the razor to shave your skin of those pesky whiskers. I received a very close shave with only one pass on my face, along with shaving my head also. I don't know how many shaves you can get with one cartridge but I'm sure you will be pleased with the results.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shaver is great for either the face or other parts of the body. My wife will not use her disposable shavers anymore and now resorts to my shaver. My son also utilizes my shaver, and my younger son will be using this shaver as well. Luckily these blades last at least 5-7 shaves per blade and being able to buy them in bulk at a big box store and buy them about 1 to 2 times a month.

Practice makes perfect. In my first review of the Gillete Flexball Razor I stated the slight difficulty I had using the flexball movement vs the fixed blade Gillete Fusion Razor. I must say that after continuous use, say about five days, I have firmly grasped the flexibilty of the Fusion Flexball Razor and I must say that I have never experienced such a consistent clean shave. It is easier to use with a little practice and confidence, and flexes with the contours of my face. A better razor I could not find and I am including my experiences with electric razors. I am 63 years old and it is mow a pleasure to shave instead of a daily chore.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was chosen to take the new Fusion Proglide razor for a test drive compliments of Gillette. I have used Gillette Fusion razors before and have a great opinion of them as they always gave me an awesomely close, smooth shave. I figured it would be hard to improve on something that already delivered such fine results. But guess what...they did! The star of this game is the Flexball handle technology. Seriously, from the first "pass" I could tell I was going to get the closest shave ever! The way the Flexball allows the razor to not only pivot the head up and down as it has in the past, but also now side-to-side is awesome! You can now not have to only make straight "runs" down your face, but now you can "juke" left or right and the blade follows in constant contact to "the playing field"! For me this is great as my chin area is my hardest area to shave as I have very course thick stubble there. Now when I "pass" over that area I didn't have to go back and replay that area over and over like before. Like I said before after I finished I had the closet shave I have ever had! The blades clean up easily as well....and my little "audible".....make sure to completely dry the blades before you put the razor away and the cartridge will last a much longer time.

The razor uses the same 5 blade cartridges as the older non flex handle razors. When shaving with the newer flexball handle, I did not notice much of a change, I found myself shaving the same way I have always shaved. If the product was priced about the same as the others it would be worth a try. With practice perhaps I will get used to not contorting my face in funny ways to shave and let the razor do the bending for me.

I bought a razor handle/blade combo about a month looking for a better shave. I had been using Harry’s for over 7 years until I discovered the Fusion 5 Proglide. I’m now a Gillette customer for life. Your razor handles and blades are far superior to Harry’s. Keep up the good work. Goodbye Harry’s. Hello Gillette
