Gillette Fusion Flexball Chrome Handle, Face and Head Shaving Razor Review

  • I had seen an advert from Boots for a new Gillette Fusion razor with chrome handle.
    This reminded me of the Cornerstone razor and the Harry's Winston razor, so I had to rush out and buy one (and again get a first RUclips review of the product).
    Because I have a Cornerstone razor I compare the two, especially as I think this razor may have been brought out because of Harry's and Cornerstone's offering.
    I seem to have made an error in the video, I have checked the packaging and it appears this was a Proglide cartridge (so I certainly do not think Proglide is anything much to shout about over a standard Fusion cartridge and would not personally buy it).
    If you like the review please share it and SUBSCRIBE 😉
    Happy shaving RUclips land

    Good vid. We both probably have too many razors and shaving creams, gels, etc. in our bathrooms 😂

      theMediaMart I have a filing cabinet draw full of them, i even have unusual Japanese ones. I think one of my proudest moments was when a manufacturer showed me a case full of razors and I showed them mine and they went oh we are still awaiting to get that one, so I gave them it as I actually had spare due to a shipping error causing one to be lost in the post only to turn up later 😉. #SmallWins

    Been checking costs. the Gillette for 6 cartridge costs £19 and on the Gillette website states How long does a Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide blade last? Every Fusion5 ProGlide or ProShield blade delivers up to a month of shaves. To ensure a long-lasting lubrastrip, store your razor in the included organiser tray or face up - away from damp surfaces. £19 for 6 months of shaving?
    When checking cost wise of Bic-Shave Club are 4 Blades for £8 a month, giving a week worth of shaving if shaving everyday for a month.
    Harrys Blades cost £14 for 8 Blades which are 2 monthly shaving everyday. shaving everyday using the blade a week and binning.
    Razors By Dorco cost £5.95 for 4 blades of 6 six blade razors a month. shaving everyday for 7 days then binning old blade using new.

      All the cartridges can be made to last similar lengths of time if treated the same way.

    wit the Gillette fusion flexball can the blade be used for head-shaving against the grain, without ingrown hairs, razors bumps, and no irritation , not this version u got with the slippery handle but the standard handle flexball

      Thanks for the support. I like quite a lot of them, and I do find the handle makes a lot of difference. I like the Calibr 3 blade that us used as home brands, and I like the Dorco 3 Blade. I still like Mach 3 but won't pay their prices anymore. I am not a fan of those with more blades, I find they do nothing for me, except clog the head more.

      I find the Fusion to be the best razor on the market - expensive cartridges but worth it !! There is a way around this - shave with a cheaper razor with the grain first, then against the grain with the Fusion. This will preserve the life of the Fusion blades. I like the Schick Slim Twin disposables. They are good, cheap and one can push the stuble out , lasts a nice time . Then go to the Fusion - you will love this combination !!

    So do you think the power and the non power razor give the same end result / closeness / smoothness

    • @GeekOfShaves
      @GeekOfShaves  4 года назад +1

      I do think they do give the same end result, a nice smooth clean shave. Thing is it's not about the end result in deciding for power or not it's about the journey getting there. Those few seconds / minutes while you are actually shaving.

      Geek Of Shaves they do say that power does give a closer shave due to the vibration lifting the hairs stimulating the hair and skin, is there any truth in this? I guess these are tested before they are put out there for customers
