[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this razor a lot. It has great pivot points and renders a close shave without any misses. I like the stand too for storage and drying, a nice unexpected touch. There is a spot for an extra blade as well, overall a solid razor to choose for daily usage.

I thought I was getting the newest most comfortable blade. I was WRONG! It will not give me a clean shave and plugs the blades. I have to go over problem (chin) and neck multiple times. I now have to blow air into the blades to clear them another try. I triple blade works much better for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the fact that the handle fits perfectly into my hand and has comfort grip , not cheaply made like other razors . 5 blade design with exfoliating bar makes for a clean smooth shave. And its holder for easy access makes it so much better than trying to remember where it was last placed . Great value for out of this park design !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The GilletteLabs Razor with Exfoliating Bar delivers a smooth, clean shave with minimal effort. The built-in exfoliating bar helps lift dirt and dead skin before the blades pass, making each stroke more effective. It glides comfortably across the face and leaves skin feeling refreshed. The premium design also adds a touch of luxury to your shaving routine. For its price, it is very durable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This razor is awesome and looks so classic. I love the exfoliation it makes my skin amazingly soft after just one use. It also still has 5 blades which is a plus. The stand is magnetic so you don’t have to worry about your razor going anywhere. I do like that’s it’s a bit heavy which makes it feel more sturdy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a man who loves a close shave. I’ve always used Gillette Razors, since day their first 5 blade disposable came out as, from my years of experience and daily use, they are the absolute best hands down. When I saw that they were releasing a new razor with the exfoliating bar, I jumped on it. This razor is the absolute best razor I have ever used. I’m not sure how much I love the exfoliating bar but the reason I am so excited about this razor is the way the “contour mechanism” works. It just glides and forms to your face so easy, I’m not having to make multiple passes over the same spot, changing the razors direction to get all the hairs. The results are the closest, easiest shave I have ever had. If you shave daily like I do, get this razor!! 110% Recommend!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best Razor that I have ever used for sensitive skin. It’s the best 5 blade razor and you get many shaves out of one single piece. It’s a great price and the new razor that I will continue to use because of its effectiveness and easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the close shave you get with this. The base helps out so much you don’t have to lay it down you put it on its stand and it can air dry better for the next time you need to use the razor. I love the smoothness of each stroke.
