Razors

Advantages: Precision trimmer
Disadvantages: Wide blade, poor shave

...better. I received this Gillette Fusion razor as a Christmas present this year, and I can honestly say it's horrendous. The cheap Bic razors did a better job than this! The razor seemed to be too wide, and just not shaving close enough - Maybe this is because of the wideness of the blades. However, the precision trimmer is excellent I must say. It's interesting how this 1 blade is better than the 5 in the normal shaving head of this razor. Since ... Read review

Advantages: Comfortable, close shave, quite long lasting
Disadvantages: Price, several features which don't do a lot

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 ...
...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 ... Read review

Advantages: It gives a decent shave
Disadvantages: Well over-priced and hyped

...first attracted me to the Gillette Fusion, that along with the fact that ASDA had the Razor and The hydro gel on offer for £4. Since the outlay for replacement blades for three blade and Quattro type razors is usually in that vicinity I thought what the heck I'll give it a try. The difference between the Fusion and normal four blade systems is the addition of a fifth blade which is situated on the top of the razor and is isolated from the other ...
...as above the moustache , a single blade is far more suitable and can negotiate the small area better and more comfortably than the quite wide width of the four blade section. This is definitely an advantage over a normal multi bladed system. The inclusion of the rather gimmicky vibration system may in certain circumstances enhance the experience, and perhaps even the quality of the actual shave, but for me it is really not much more than a gimmick. ...

Advantages: Great shave, lovely moisture strips, shave lasts
Disadvantages: replacement blades a bit expensive

...Venus Vibrance for women from Gillette so decided to give it a go (it might have had something to do with the fact that I love the Bananarama song Venus which is featured in the ad's but, moving swiftly on!) You can buy the razor in Boots for £8.99. This razor is Gillette's first powered razor for women. It is powered by an AA battery which is also sold with the razor. I have had my razor for over a year now and don't think I've ever had to replace ...
...of the razor that you press to turn off and on. It's quite a sturdy button and out of the way of your grip and needs a good press so there is no worry about turning it off accidently mid use or turning it on when you don't need to for that matter. I believe the razor vibrates in order to make the hairs on your leg stand up so you get a closer shave. My legs are always very smooth after suing this so it seems to work. The best thing I like about ... Read review

Advantages: close shave the first time you use it
Disadvantages: dont last that long, overpriced

...not that good. tried the gillette fusion well at first when you put a new blade in shaves really close and your legs feel nice and smooth. there is a colour strip which when it comes off you know the blade it blunt. well after a few times the blade starts to wear out very quickly i would have thought since it has 5 closely spaced blades that it would not only shave closely all the time the blade would last a quite along time. being the price it is ...
