Disappointed

I've been using this razor for about a month. I haven't noticed that it shaves any closer or more comfortible than my Mach3. It also has a higher price point. I find it heavier and honestly more cumbersome. The cartridge is wider and it's hard to get a close shave up to my nostrils. The swivel head is cute, and I didn't notice anything beneficial with that. I did a comparison with my Mach3 and noticed no difference. I also noticed the blades are very small to fit 5 of them in the cartridge. My consensus is it's more of a gimmick and/or marketing ploy of being better when it's actually not. The only reason it was purchased was because I was looking for Mach III blades and they were not available, so I purchased the Fusion. I am highly disappointed.

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback on the Gillette Fusion 5. We're truly sorry to hear that, after a month of use, you haven't found it to offer a closer or more comfortable shave than your Mach3, and that you're highly disappointed with your purchase. We understand your concerns regarding the higher price point, the heavier and more cumbersome feel, and the difficulty getting a close shave in tighter areas like around the nostrils due to the wider cartridge. Your observation about the small blades needed to fit five in the cartridge, and your overall impression that it feels more like a gimmick, is very valuable to us. We appreciate you conducting a direct comparison with your Mach3 and noting no significant difference in performance. We understand that you purchased the Fusion 5 due to Mach3 blade unavailability, and we regret that this experience did not meet your expectations. Your honest feedback helps us understand how our products are perceived and used. If you'd like to discuss this further or explore other options, please feel free to contact Gillette at 1-800-445-5388.

Still my brand of choice

I’ve used Gillette brand razor blades as long as I can remember. A while back I was given a shave kit that was another brand as a gift. I had seen this product advertised on TV. I used these new blades/razor during the past year. I recently used up my last blade and retuned back to Gillette. In comparison, the Gillette brand is still number 1 with me.

Glad I tried these

I’ve always used Schick due to the price difference- but the club stopped carrying them- so gave these a try when there was a scan n go incentive- I’m really surprised at how much better these are- always thought a blade was a blade- very nice razors

Recently and gladly switched back to Mach 5

I used my Gillette Mach 5 blade for 16 years. Starting at that age, I didn't realize what I had. So last year I decided to give Harry's a chance cuz it was a little bit cheaper and within the first blade or two I became really fearful of cutting myself. It seemed really easy to nick myself with that razor. So I switched back to my Mach 5 or I guess the fusion 5 and I haven't looked back. It's such a night and day difference in quality of shave. I never worry about cutting myself and I always get a great shave out of it and the blades last longer too.

Disappointed - Gillette changed the blade

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.

New razor not as good as older version

Bought this to replace an older gillette fusion razor that I left in a hotel room. This is definately not the same as the older razor. You can definately tell by the weight of it and I feel like the shave is not as good.

Very disappointed.

I have used these razors to shave my legs for at least seven years. These used to be the sharpest razors. Unfortunately, the quality changed last year. I don't even get a close shave on the first use. I purchased 3 large packs. All are garbage.
