[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Gillette Fusion Pro Glide Razor 2 - 1 Shave Gel because I received a free sample from Bzz Agent in exchange for reviewing the products. When I received the product I wasn't expecting much because I had tried other razors over the years and felt that they are worked about the same.
I really tend to dry shave more than using a gel or cream. I gave them up years ago, because they were time consuming, messy, had to wet the face before applying and had to use so much.
I must admit that after using the ProGlide 2 - 1 Gel, I was amazed. It lathers up really well, you only have to use a small amount of the product and don’t have to wet your face first. I received the Ocean Breeze and really enjoyed the scent of the product, it wasn’t to overwhelming and didn’t fight with my cologne. I also like that it comes in a no cap container and has no metal on the bottom which won’t leave rings on my bathroom counter.
So with this said, I had a difficult time with the gel container. The container that was sent to me wouldn’t work....I tried and tried thinking I was doing something wrong. Well, I wasn’t. The container wouldn’t dispense product. I took it to a local store and explain where I got it and that it wouldn’t work. They exchanged it for me. I took home the second container and to my surprise, it wouldn’t work either. I took it back and they again exchanged it. However this time we tried it in the store, and it worked. While I like the product, I wasn’t happy with the quality of the container. I think that this along with the price will make me think twice about purchasing another container. I don’t think that anyone should have to exchange something that many times,
As far as the Razor goes, I really like the way it handles. It glides very easy over my face and neck and didn’t leave me with any pain or discomfort from pulling hair or catching on stubbles. My wife also used it and she liked the way it hugged areas of her body. We both like the button for releasing the blades which makes for an easy changing of the blades and also the number of blades in the razor. We didn’t have to change the blade as often as other razor.
Two of my poker buddies knew I was trying it and asked my thoughts. I was honest and told them that the performance was good, but I didn't think the reliability was that great. They both said they would have to give it alot of thought before purchasing the produce. They also stated that if they were to purchase the Gel, they would try it in the store.
I rated it a three only because of the inconvenience it caused me.
