The Fusion does a great job, no matter how much stubble I have at the time. My cartridges seem to last a while too, even though I shave with heavy stubble on the regular. The trimmer does a decent job edging up my beard when I have it. And most importantly it's the only razor that doesn't irritate my skin.

I used these blades for years. I could get a good months worth out of these blades until they changed them. They now break down in a week and scratch your face up! They did this on purpose thinking you will replace blades more and Gillette makes more money. Done with your product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best razor I have ever used. It gives me a closer shave than my previous razor and less irritation. I like the fact that it has the blade on top for side burns and such. I will be purchasing the cartridge refill this is now my new razor.

I use my razor to keep my beard looking sharp in between trips to the barbershop. My Barber uses a razor and so do I except mine has more blades and doesn't require an appointment. I love this tool! My only request would be for the handle to be wider.

I've used Gillette razors for years and was happy with the Mach 3 series. I switched to the Fusion razor and was very impressed by how close of a shave I could get. Unfortunately, the blades only last about three shaves before they feel like I'm running a rake over my face. A Mach 3 razor blade used to last a good 20-30 days for me; the shave was never as close, but it represented a great value. Unless the Fusion blades get much cheaper, it's hard to justify the cost of the Fusion blades.

Incredibly disappointed! I loved these blades but Gillette changed the large orange portion, which was always soft, to a smaller orange section that is hard and uncomfortable. See the picture. The website shows the “old” version and Gillette sent me the “new” uncomfortable version.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Gillette Fusion is the newest addition to my bathroom. It gives a smooth shave that lasts longer than usual. The handle has a great grip that makes it easy to hold and guide. I liked the case that it comes in that holds the razor and the cartridges and takes up less space on the counter. I found this one much nicer than the 3 blade as it gave a better shave. I was very satisfied with these cartridges. I love the precision blade, it's perfect for perfecting lines and keeping everything straight. I like the case it comes in, makes it easy to keep up with all of the blades and takes up very little space. The blades give an extra close shave and have been great on my sensitive skin. I would recommend these for anyone and everyone as I have had a wonderful experience with the Gillette Fusion Razor and blades!

Due to the higher cost of Gillette I tried Harry's razors and was disappointed with them. Back to Gillette I went. Instead of my customary ProGlide I bought Fusion because of the lower price.. Terrible mistake -- Harry's performed better cost-wise. IF I ever again buy Gillette it will NOT be Fusion.

It's a great razor. My old one lasted me nearly 15 years but it's missing one important thing; the original came with a snap on cover that was fantastic because it protected the razor from getting dull and also protected everything else in my gym bag from the razor. The new ones don't have this anymore and it's a main reason I bought my new one, because my 15 year old handle had seen better days but is still going and that's largely due to the old case I'd bet. I hope they bring it back.

I've been using Gillette Fusion5 blades for YEARS. They used to be the very best out there. The recent change to the plastic/rubber around the blades on the heads is terrible. It causes too much friction/drag, and prevents the blades from getting close enough to the skin for a close shave. This makes you use more pressure to get the blades closer, forces you to shave over the same spot over and over, and results in MORE cuts, not fewer. And you STILL don't have results as good as they used to be. Please go back to your old design or at least rethink the new one. I am searching for something new now after almost 20 years, because these are just plan unusable.
