Product FAQs

What makes Gillette Fusion® ProGlide Power™ better than Gillette® Fusion® Power?
What makes Fusion ProGlide Power better than Fusion Power is technological innovation. The razor has been reengineered and redesigned to create Gillette's Most Comfortable Shave.

Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power shares the same core technology as Gillette Fusion ProGlide: thinner, finer blades, a low resistance coating and the redesigned Precision Trimmer Blade. In addition to this:

  • The improved blade stabilizer helps maintain precise blade spacing for optimal comfort.
  • The redesigned handle now has larger, more ergonomic grips for better control.
  • The enhanced Lubrastrip is now larger, with more lubricants and a touch of mineral oil.
  • The redesigned precision trimmer now features an improved blade and anti-clogging rinse slots.
  • The streamlined comfort guard offers channels to help clear away excess shave prep.
  • The MicroComb, found exclusively on the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power, actually helps guide hair to the blade.

Together, these technologies combine to create Gillette's Most Comfortable Shave.

How does the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power™ handle compare with the Gillette® Fusion® Power handle?
The Fusion ProGlide Power now has ergonomic side grips for better handling.

What is the microchip and how does it work?
A battery-powered razor delivers an optimal shave when the voltage and frequency remain consistent shave after shave. Over the lifetime of the battery, the voltage can weaken, reducing frequency and therefore performance. The microchip maintains constant voltage and frequency over the lifetime of the battery, delivering consistent product performance every time you shave.

How does the Low-Battery Indicator Light work?
When a battery reaches a certain level, the oscillation frequency declines and the system is no longer capable of delivering the optimal shave. The microchip inside Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power™ senses when the battery is approaching this level. When this happens, the Low-Battery Indicator Light begins to flash, signaling that it's time to change the AAA battery.

What is the Automatic Shut-Off feature?
The Automatic Shut-Off feature turns the razor off after roughly 8 minutes of continuous operation. This feature protects the battery if the razor is accidentally activated, especially when traveling.

How does movement of the razor give men a better shave?
With battery-powered razors, Gillette opened a new chapter in wet shaving. The addition of oscillation to Gillette wet shaving systems delivers soothing micropulses with comfort so incredible; you'll barely feel the blades. Fusion ProGlide Power™ is Gillette's most comfortable shave.

For best results, should the power be turned on or off when using the Precision Trimmer Blade?
The Precision Trimmer Blade can be used with the power turned on or off. Preference varies from person to person. Using the Precision Trimmer Blade with or without power is an individual choice.

What type of battery does Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power™ use? How long does it last?
Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power utilizes a AAA battery. With the Low-Battery Indicator Light, Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power will let you know when it's time to change the battery. Assuming average shaving, the battery should last approximately 3–6 months.

Is it safe to shave with Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power™ in the shower?
Yes. Gillette Fusion Power is watertight and totally safe to use in wet environments.

Can I get electrocuted if Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power™ is submerged in water?
No. Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power is safe to use in water.

How long will the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power™ cartridge last?
How long a razor cartridge lasts varies from person to person, as it is dependent on many variables such as beard toughness and thickness, beard preparation, shaving habits, and skin sensitivity. The Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power's reformulated INDICATOR® lubricating strip will provide you with a visual cue — it fades to white — when optimal shave conditions have been reduced. When this happens, you may want to change your cartridge for a more comfortable shave.

What are thinner, finer blades and how will they improve my shave?
Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power™ razor has 5 blades spaced closer together, forming an advanced shaving surface. The razor blades are thinner than those of Fusion–a design that allows the blades to be even more flexible.

How was the Precision Trimmer redesigned?
The blade was improved and anti-clogging rinse slots were added.

What is the Streamlined Comfort Guard with channels? What are the benefits of the Streamlined Comfort Guard?
Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power™ features a new Streamlined Comfort Guard. The soft, flexible material surrounds the microfins, creating an outer edge that wraps around the sides of the cartridge and channels that clear away excess shave prep. This Streamlined Comfort Guard follows the contours of your face to help the shaving surface of the razor comfortably shave close.

Have there been any enhancements to the lubrication strip?
Yes. It now contains more lubricants and a touch of mineral oil.

Will the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power™ cartridge fit any other razors on the market?
The Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power cartridge features a new razor blade that fits on any Gillette Fusion, Fusion ProGlide or Fusion ProGlide Power handle.

Shaving FAQs

Is it better to use hot, cold, or warm water to shave?
Warm water is best for hydrating beard hair. Soaking in warm water softens hair and causes it to expand, making it 70% easier to cut.

What is the best way to avoid razor burn?
If the skin is not properly prepared before shaving or if the blade on your razor is dull, you are more likely to end up with razor burn. Make sure to hydrate hair in warm water for up to three minutes and apply plenty of shave gel. Also, be sure to change the blade on your razor at the first sign of dullness or discomfort.

Is it okay to let my girlfriend or wife borrow my men’s razor?
For both hygiene and performance, it's not a good idea to share your razor with your partner. Women have a much larger area to shave and you may find that after only a few shaves, your blade has dulled considerably; increasing the likelihood of nicks and cuts. Tell her to try a razor specifically designed for the way a woman shaves, such as Gillette® Venus® Embrace®.

Does shaving make your hair grow back thicker?
Scientists at Gillette have conducted extensive testing on the effects shaving has on both male and female hair growth, texture and color. This testing has proven that shaving does not affect hair growth, color or texture. Shaving does, however, alter the tip shape of the regrown hair, which may initially change the way hair feels as it grows back. But if hair is left to re-grow completely, it will return to its former state.

In what direction should I shave to achieve the best shave?
Men's facial hair tends to grow in different directions. Start by shaving with light, gentle strokes with the grain. Then, if necessary, go against the grain for an even closer shave.

What is the difference between disposable and refillable razors?
The entire razor is discarded when you are through with a disposable razor. With a refillable razor, only the blade cartridge is replaced. Refillable razors like Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ and Gillette Fusion incorporate more advanced blade technology and ergonomics vs. most disposables for great control and a close comfortable shave.

What is the difference between a single, double, triple and 5-blade razor? Which is best?
Gillette's research has demonstrated that single blade technology, which has been applied since 1901, is demonstrably inferior to twin blade shaving systems such as SensorExcel®, and even more so to 5-blade systems such as Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™. But the number of blades alone does not ensure a superior shave. The 5-blade shaving surface of Fusion ProGlide Power™ features progressive blade alignment, patented blade coating process and a flexible comfort guard which collectively provide Gillette's best shave.

How do I avoid nicks and cuts, particularly above my upper lip?
The area above the upper lip is tricky for many men. To help avoid nicks and cuts, always leave it for last. Apply plenty of shave gel and allow this area to soak up as much lather as possible. When shaving, don't apply too much pressure. Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide's™ Precision Trimmer is really useful when shaving under the nose.


Product Description

Gillette Fusion offers every man--whether clean-shaven or with facial hair--a better way to shave. 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.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Ugly Truth Gillette Doesn't Want You to Know, January 11, 2008
By Captain Latte (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gillette Fusion Power Replacement Cartridges, 8-Count Package (Health and Beauty)
If you read the description closely of the Gillette Fusion product as put out by Gillette, you will see that Gillette doesn't actually claim that you get a closer or even better shave. They very cleverly use terms like "a better way to shave" or "30% closer blades", and there is a reason for this. The reality is that very little (if any) improvement in the actual shave itself has been made since the 3-blade systems. And Gillette knows this through their own internal research. Their studies show that customers can't discern the difference between 3-blade and Fusion systems. It is all just perception. However, Gillette with these newer hyped blade systems is able to charge a lot more for the replacement blades and reap higher profit margins than the older blade systems. The reason I know is that I have a cousin high up in one of these companies.

Here is another interesting tidbit you probably didn't know about all of this. Have you ever wondered why the original blade that came on the actual razor you purchased seemed to last much longer than any of the replacements. Well there is a reason for this too. The blades that go with the razor packages actually come from a different stock, which are made much sharper to give a better shave and last much longer. Gillette doesn't want folks to get a bad first impression. As you probably know, they don't make money on the razors. The real money is with the replacement blades. And the blade stock used on the replacement blades is inferior and much duller to get folks to replace them faster.

With the significant price difference between the older 3-blade systems and newer ones like Fusion, folks really are better off saving their money and sticking with the older systems.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Shave But I'll Stick With The M3 Power, February 6, 2006
This review is from: Gillette Fusion Power Replacement Cartridges, 8-Count Package (Health and Beauty)
I have been using Gillette's Fusion Razor for a few weeks now and it's a nice razor with some pros and cons compared to Gillette's other blades. Gillette has some of the nicest products on the market, and I expected the Fusion to blow me away, but unlike the jump that was made when the Mach3 came out, I was not as excited after my shave as I was for the hype beforehand.

The Good

- The 5 blades are very smooth and glides across the face easily.

- Shaving time IS reduced with this new razor.

The Bad

- With so many blades, I felt like I was shaving off layers of skin. I feel there is a limit to how many blades are realistic, and this felt like it was too big for my face and I could seriously cut myself if I wasn't careful.

- Shave isn't much better than the Mach3 Turbo. While shaving my skin felt really smooth, but my hairs grew back just as quickly as they did with the Mach3 Turbo (no noticeable improvement).

- This razor is SO big I found it hard to get around facial areas like I could with the Mach3.

- The lotion strips on the M3 Power feel better and seem to last longer than on the Fusion razor.

- Design and look of the Fusion isn't as slick or nice as the M3 Power.

- Blades are no longer interchangeable. They went with a new interface for putting blades in that seems to take a step back, and having to buy the new razor to work with the new blades was a sneaky move in my opinion.

- The single blade on the back is useless. It's very hard to get the angle correct, and it barely gets anything off. The M3 Power got in tight spots just fine.

In conclusion, I plan to stick with my M3 Power. 3 blades seems to be just the right amount for getting in all areas on the face. While it might take a shave or 2 more to get all the hairs off then it does with the Fusion (on the large surface area portions of my face mind you), the M3 Power just seems safer in general.

This is more like 3 1/2 stars. Yes it's a nice shave, but it's not worth all the hype or additional financial burden this new blade will put you back.

**** RECOMMENDED

5.0 out of 5 stars Best shaver I've ever had., October 24, 2006
By Erik Olson "Seeker Reviews" (Ridgefield, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Gillette Fusion Power Replacement Cartridges, 8-Count Package (Health and Beauty)
I'm cursed with sensitive skin and a tough beard. I'll break out or rash up if my skin gets irritated, so I have to carefully prep for shaving. After years of trial and error, I've finally settled on a good shaving cream system: Cetaphil Skin Cleanser for a base, then Kiss My Face Moisture Shave as a supplement. For post-shave comfort and to prevent breakouts, I use a product like Clean&Clear Dual-Action Oil-Free moisturizing lotion. However, the weak link up until now has been the actual shaver. With the Gillette Fusion Power, I've finally found the right one.

I've used Gillette since they gave my unit free razors during the first Gulf War (I was in the Marines at the time). They've gotten the job done, but a 3-blade system is ultimately inadequate for my beard and skin type. It doesn't take long for the blades to start cutting my face and neck, especially since I take forever to change blades. I dreaded looking in a bathroom mirror at work and seeing dried blood spots (not to mention getting blood stains on my collar). Electric shavers don't work for me either - too hard on my skin, and I'd have a five-o'clock shadow around 2PM.

So, when I saw Gillette touting their new 5-blade system, I gave it a shot. I was initially skeptical about the powered aspect due to my issues with electric shavers. But the Fusion Power is the happy exception. At first I struggled a bit getting the battery cap off of the end. But once I mastered that maneuver and got the battery in, I was set. It takes one AAA-battery that seems to last a decent interval (the low-battery indicator is a nice touch). And even if the Fusion Power runs out of juice, you can still shave with it. The shaver glides over my face, and the vibration feels good - kind of like a pick-me-up in the morning. The five blades really nail my beard, and even tough spots like my chin and jaw line remain cut-free. I also like the one-blade trimmer on top - very handy for evening out my sideburns and zapping those stray whiskers right under my nostrils.

My only issue is the expense of the blades. But I can make them last a lot longer than the old 3-blade razors while still getting a great shave. And most importantly, I rarely get those annoying cuts anymore (if I do, it's more because of rushing or clumsiness than anything else). Ultimately, the result is worth the higher price. The Gillette Fusion Power is the best shaver I've ever tried. Highly recommended.
