Gillette Fusion is the first and only shaving system that has new technology on the front and the back of the cartridge, witha trimmer on the back-which isn't really that good and the 5 powerglide blades on the front. The 5 PowerGlide Blades are spaced closer together to help reduce pressure for great comfort. The blades also have a patented blade coating that reduces the cutting force for increased comfort. Other key features: * The Enhanced Indicator Lubrastrip (acts as a moisturising strip) has vitamin E, aloe and natural oils, and fades to white when you are no longer getting your optimal shave. * The Flexible Comfort Guard gently sets up the beard to help comfortably shave you incredibly close.
Now for my opinion. The trimmer on the back is nothing special. The ability of the vibration does not really do a lot if anything and it's also hard to tell if the Lubrastrip does anything. Although I do not get a rash from these razor heads so it may be doing something I used to use an electric shaver before which was not as comfortable as this and also used to give me a slight rash (redening really). I'm also quite doubtful that the 5 blades are extremely necessary for producing a much better shave. However the reason I like the fusion power heads is because I do not get any rash and the shave is alot more comfortable- it cannot be faulted for that.
Hairs can sometimes become clogged up in the blades and therefore you may have to go over the same area twice as I often do.
The price of these blades are very expensive: Boots and Amazon - 8pack - £18.99 Amazon - 4 pack - £9.80
However I purchased mine from eBay where I got them much cheaper and some great bargains can be found-it just takes a little time.
The blades do last for quite a long time depending on how often they are used e.g. daily and how extensive the growth is.
As the shaver was a gift and I purchased extra blades cheaply I continue to use it as the shave is more comfortable and close. However I probably would not have bought it myself due to the price of the blades in shops.
