Gillette Manual Cartridge, Fusion, 12-Count Packages Review. Gillette Fusion features a breakthrough 5 blade Shaving Surface technology on the front of the shaving cartridge. The blades are spaced 30 percent closer together than MACH3 blades. This creates a Shaving Surface that distributes the shaving force across the blades for significantly less irritation and more comfort. Includes an enhanced Indicator Lubrastrip infused with Vitamin E, Aloe and natural oils fades from blue to white, signaling when optimal shave conditions have been reduced. The Precision Trimmer blade, a single blade built into the back of the cartridge, allows men to easily trim sideburns, shave under the nose and shape facial hair....
"no question, best razor EVER" 2009-12-02
By A. M. Shipley (Bloomington, IL)
I shave about every other day due to skin irritation from other razors that I have used. I purchased a Gillette Fusion razor with a $4 off coupon out of the Sunday news, and that gave me the razor for about $1 after the in-store rebate.
This is easily the best razor I have ever owned/used. One pull of the razor across my face makes the skin unbelievably smooth. I won't be switching to anything else after buying this product.
TIPS:
Don't throw the cartridges out after the aloe "indicator" strip fades - that thing is useless junk added on to make you replace the blades more often than is necessary. Keep a bottle of alcohol handy with your shaving supplies. The thing that dulls most razor blades quickly is hard water deposits of calcium and other minerals that build up on the blades when they dry after rinsing. They key to getting the most use out of the blades is to rinse the water off with alcohol after use, and then let the blades air dry. I can get more than a month of shaves out of a single cartridge before the blades dull and start to nick or pull at the skin. Buying a 12-pack of blades lasts me longer than a year . . .
"Best price, favorite razor" 2009-06-25
By Steven Cruise
Not too much to say, but the Fusion is my favorite razor. They cause the least amount of pain, and get the closest shave out of anything I've used. This is probably the best price you will be able to find anywhere ever, except for some knock offs that won't be nearly as good. It may be slightly cheaper to buy them in a larger number, but really.. not that necessary. Just buy enough to get free shipping and you're set. Cheaper than any other website, cheaper than a 40 pack at Costco.
These are full of win.

Somehow I ended up with one of those "free" razors as a pull to get you to buy the product. I've seen all the humor on multi blade razors that do seem over the top. Well, surprise! This sucker really works. I mean, it really works. Cleanest shave I ever got. No pull, no nicks, no need to take a second stroke. Expensive, yes, but worth it for me.
"The best I've used" 2009-07-13
By Isaac Mann (Thousand Oaks, CA)
I have been using this from shortly after it initially came out, moving from the Gillette Sensor. The difference between the two is pretty significant. These are more expensive that the Sensors are but they last you forever. I found I got maybe 4 or 5 shaves max out of the old Sensor where I can use these blades for a good month and a half before I feel the need to replace them. The added time of use more the outweighs the increase in cost.
The comfort of the blade is by far the best I've experienced. It stays nice a smooth and cut free for weeks after I start a new blade and with the Sensor I could start feeling the use on that blade after the first or second shave.
The blade on the back I have found to be very useful which is something that, if I remember correctly, the Sensor doesn't even have.

Gillette Fusion blades are insanely expensive and a lot of the cheaper fusion blades on Amazon are either fake or seconds that failed QC. This supplier has the real thing and its the best price you'll find.
