 Fusion Power Razor - Surprisingly Improved But Still Expensive August 18, 2008
I have used a regular Fusion razor for a while, and a few months ago I decided to give the Gillette Fusion Power Phenom Razor a try. As far as I can tell, other than cosmetic color differences this design is the same as the Gillette Fusion Power Razor, Phantom, 1 razor and the Gillette Fusion Power Battery Powered Shaving System, 1system. I can definitely understand the criticisms but I have been surprised myself by what a difference a little vibration has made. Suffice it to say I think this shaver and the powered vibration are an improvement over previous models.
While I can understand that some accuse Gillette of a gimmick, I can say that these razor blades definitely do seem to shave closer than the Mach 3 version. So if it's a gimmick, then I too have been fooled.
The vibration definitely seems to help the razor glide over my face more smoothly. As a result it takes less passes to get a complete shave.
Even if you are speptical but just want to find out if the vibration will help you, these are going for less than a dollar more than the manual version, the Gillette Fusion Manual Razor with Replacement Cartridge and Storage Case. So that extra 80 cents is worth finding out if the vibration helps you. If it doesn't just don't use the power feature and this is the same as the manual fusion.
I will have to agree that the small blade on the back of the razor is not effective for shaping. It's just too hard to get it at the perfect angle. Still, this is a minor con, and I'm sure that some people will be able to get the proper technique with it.
The Gillette Fusion Power Replacement Cartridges, 8-Count Package may not be the greatest value out there, but these refills are what you need. These definitely come at a premium price. After using these refills for a while they seem to last longer than my Mach 3 ones did. So I can accept the premium.
The first blade that came with my shaver lasted a while, and my first refill has gone strong for a while too. I think these blades were made to last a LONG time so it's easier to accept the higher cost of refills. Then again, by comparison the cost of the initial shaver and blade seem to be low so it's worth giving it a try.
Enjoy!
 Gillette Review August 4, 2008
Was a Gillette user for many years and used another similiar product for approximately 1 1/2 years and am glad I went back to Gillette. This is a great product.
No Shave Is Better...Worth The Price July 3, 2008
The POWER Fusion is the one to get. The razor its self is inexpensive and it comes with a cartridge. It is amazing. The least amount of irritation with the closest shave ever. The replacement blades for the razor are expensive but guys....it is well worth it....Amazon has the best prices for the replacement blades....the 8pack costs 20 something $ here and at Walgreens or CVS the 8pack of replacement cartridges is over $30.
Good shave, no nicks June 12, 2008
Much better than Mach 3 in terms of comfort (I used to get a couple of nicks with Mach 3 too, but did'nt get even a single cut with this). Otherwise I didn't find this much better than either Mach 3 or the Norelco rotary shavers I have - just as good
But the single blade at the top is great! (removing ear hairs... gross..)
