[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The search for a great razor is over. The best razor that I have ever owned. The exfoliating bar is everything. Such a smooth close shave! The stand and travel case really add to this and make it a premium product. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this luxurious razor. This is so much better than the standard razor. This razor is much better at contouring to my face as I shave. Not sure what the exfoliating bar is/is supposed to do, but this does give a nice shave.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This razor has nice weight to it and feels good in my hand while shaving. It is very very soft, the razor was sharp and made the shaving really smooth. The angle of the head with the supporting design helps the razor head moves freely and in different angles. You can actually feel the exfoliation happening.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a very effective manual razor. It contoured to the curves of the body and skin, and left a very clean shave. It worked especially well for non-facial shaving. My only complaint is that I didn't particularly care for the stand that came with it as it made it a little bit more awkward to store.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love using this Gillette shaver. The shaver makes shaving a fast effortless smooth daily routine. The shave is quick and easy with this. The exfoliating bar is innovative and leaves your face feeling fresh and clean! The handle has a nice weight and grip to it. It is now my favorite shaver to use daily. I highly recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Gillette labs handle and cartridges from my wife as a present and I must say she did her research well prior to buying the product. This is best razor I have by far. It enables smooth trimming along with the bar which exfoliate my skin. So less burning sensation and after effects. I will highly recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty good razor, the mount and the handle of the razor are both metal and feel surprisingly sturdy. Very convenient to have the stand and it looks pretty good too. The twisting end of the razor is also nice, making shaving just a bit easier.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this over a month ago and am happy that I did because it provides a smooth long lasting shave. This razor exfoliates, but I’m not sure how to measure that. All I can say is that my face was silky smooth after shaving. I’d argue that the shave was closer than the Gillette fusion that I’ve been using regularly. I’m not sure if that is because of the exfoliation mechanism or not though. Either way, I think this razor is great and would recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The design is very nice, especially for a gift and the stands is nicely weighted to allow you to showcase the blade in the bathroom. However, that being said, I did not find the actual blade usage to be very different from other 5 blade designs out there. I enjoyed the shave. The swivel gets a little getting used to. It is a nice added touch. I do just wish that the blades weren't proprietary and I could use other Gillette blades. The exfoliating bar is a nice touch. As well as the grippy spots on the handle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The differences start when unpacking. The handle has a lovely balanced weight to it that gives it a premium feel. The magnetic base feels similarly premium and holds the handle well. I'm impressed so far. The shave itself was also a step up from the fusion 5. Difficult to describe, but felt smoother and more effective while shaving, and less irritation afterward. The finish was super smooth, and I had no complaints with the fusion 5, but this does still feel like an improvement. The 2D FlexDisc may well have been a factor in this as it's not present on my existing fusion handle. These blades are approximately 50% more expensive than the fusion 5, so that is indeed quite a lot as other reviewers have noted. It's worth it in my view, but I willing finish off my fusion 5 blades before switching.
