We&#39;re sorry to hear this, Sharif. Our products are thoroughly tested to meet our high quality standards, so we&#39;re just as disappointed. <br /><br />In case this helps, here are some general tips for a smooth shave: <br />- Always use a shave gel/foam which will help the razor glide smoothly over skin. Not only does this make shaving comfortable, but it also helps prevent nicks and cuts.<br />- Rinse often while shaving. This prevents a buildup of shaving debris.<br />- Don&#39;t tap your razor against a sink/surface. Simply rinse under running water or swirl in a sink of water. <br />- Allow your razor to air-dry. <br />- Replace your blades at the first sign of dullness or discomfort to prevent nicks and cuts.<br /><br />When you have a moment, please give us a call at (800) 445-5388. We&#39;d be glad to learn more and get you back to that quality Gillette shave.

When you want that sharp look, you&#39;ll need a sharp blade Rob. As you know, our Fusion5 blades are made from top-grade steel and an enhancive coating to ensure they cut better and last longer, so be assured this isn&#39;t normal especially since we have technology in place to prevent counterfeits from being made. When you have a moment, please give us a call at 800-445-5388 so we can learn more and help.
