Review on πŸͺ’ Gillette5 Men's Razor Blade Refills, 12 Count, Lubrastrip for Enhanced Shaving Comfort by Robert White

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best value shaving cartridge

What was Gillette doing here? They took the best of the Fusion blade, removed the rear fairing and used a slightly cheaper body. The result is a shaving club competitor that surpasses Harry's in price and shave quality. Am I missing the trimmer? Yes. Yes, but not enough to make you pay significantly more for a more expensive Gilette or Harry's inferior shave. Two dollars a blade or less is my rule. Barbosol competes well with this trimmer which can be found cheap on their website but I still don't find the shave to be as close as the Gilette 5. Overall the balance of quality and price speaks in my favor of the cartridge. Blade and I've tried them all. One note: I don't like the Aqua pen that Gillette sells. Capture feels cheap and distracting. So I continue to use the Fusion handle with these blades and it fits great.

Pros
  • There's something in there
Cons
  • Damaged
