How to quickly repair your Gillette Fusion shaving Gel can when no more gel dispenses even though the gauge says otherwise using a ball inflation needle and air pump
[Updated - see the foot of this post] I think this is a great idea - except that I suspect there's the danger of overpressurizing the can and having it explode. This apparently is a common problem with these cans (yours is the exact same can as the one I have, and it has the exact same problem I have. Hardly used the (recently purchased can), there's plenty of gel inside (Gillette is thoughtful enough to provide a window on the can where you can see how much gel is left - which is of little value when it won't dispense any of it), and it's "out of gas". Defective product. [Update: I called Gillette customer service, and I was pleasantly surprised. They're compensating me by sending me a coupon good for $7 for any Gillette product. She seemed genuinely interested in process improvement and got numeric details from the can to find out exactly where this particular can was made. And they're sending a self-addressed prepaid envelope so I can send back the defective can.
Thanks for your sharing. I am afraid that It could explose. Once thing i can understand that You mean that after inserting that stick you use a pump filling air for it
Alternative solution from Serbia... Take off the bottom of the metal can with can opener... Put the opened can into a silicone gun... Squeeze the gun handle... And voila.... the gel is under pressure.... :) i.imgur.com/Tc8yAeE.jpg i.imgur.com/xVSqXCv.jpg
The most stupid design for a sprayer I have seen. No arrows on top no 'twist here' good luck, I finally figured it out by eliminating all methods of failure lmao.
come on man, isn't there more than enough trash in the world to try to get a bit less of it? and the thing is not as cheap as a chewing gum dude... so thanx for the advice QKSILVR cause I'm sick n tired of damn gillete bad quality cans, dang brand piece of shit like the're so cheap...
Get an old style brush and soap mug forget these land fill beasties😒plus I heard they give a way more comfy shave and the single edge blades work better than those triple and then some blades. Just a small learning curve you can you tube shaving with single edge. I think the "manly man" site has a video. Another free bee from me razor blades don't get dull they get rusty so alcohol, dry blade and oil it and use it forever. You know those stright edge blades that cowboys use in those movies and they wipe them on leather? I don't think you can sharpen a knife on your leather belt I think they are clean rust off them blades sirs😉

Anything is possible :)

Niice. Thanks for the tip. I'm afraid that it'll blow up, but hopefully it doesn't.
Hi great video thanks for doing this exploratory repair. I'm going to try this out!

Take off the bottom of the metal can with can opener...
Put the opened can into a silicone gun...
Squeeze the gun handle...
And voila.... the gel is under pressure.... :)

How often do I have I pump the can, like daily, weekly?...
when ever you start losing pressure and low flow
Didn't work. Tried 2 pumps. Any other ideas?
