Gillette Fusion

I went today to Walmart to buy some stuff, part of it being my razors, deoderant and shaving cream. I use Mach 3 turbo blades. But today, they had a package at Walmart bundled with Mach 3 blades and a free Fusion razor with blade. So I decided what the hell, cheaper than me buying the Mach 3 turbo and I get a free Fusion.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

Even the way it feels and pivots on your face is such a difference, I was very impressed. Not sure if I am going to shell out the extra for the fusion as I shave my head as well as my face, but it definitely is better than the Mach 3 and the Mach 3 Turbo. Hands down.

i have been using fusion for a while and i have phantom as well yes they are awesome. but blades from them are so expensive, sometimes it feels like the blue stripe on the blade turns white fast then normal, but i still use them for a while.

i also use gillette shaving gel, it doesnt burn at all, and sooths your skin.

5 blades suck. Feels like I'm just yanking out the hair. Best blade I've used is the schick quattro..old one..not the new one....the new one is very very poorly redesigned and its good for a door stop.

Also those "strips" are a marketing idea IMO to make you buy blades sooner. Blades can shave well long after the strip goes all white.

I can shave with just water with the fusion. So far the best razor I've ever used. I can get almost double the life from this razor over the quattro. Also I find I get a nicer shave from the fusion also.

I've used the Fusion with the vibrate feature for almost 2 years now, and I have to say that it's been the best blade I've ever used. Yeah, blades are expensive, but it's much better than cutting yourself all the time.

I tried the Schick Quattro too, but didn't like it at all. The blades are too close to one another and the hair keeps on getting stuck between them. I had to keep hammering the thing against the sink to get the hair loose.
