Review on Gillette Fusion5 ProShield Handle Packaging by Cindy Epps

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great Blades, Weird Marketing

Our teenage son received a free blade and handle for his 18th birthday many years later. It's likely Gillette bought the mailing list with the wrong dates, but we're ok with that. The razor in the house, used to using disposable blades for $0.50 a month, loved this free upgrade and bought it from Revain to keep with relatives. The blades are of such high quality that even if used 3 times a week, over 6 months of use, the first blade will still provide a superior shave compared to cheap disposables. At this rate, we could get a year or more for the blade. A heavily discounted 20-pack we got from another seller should suffice after fears of the collapse of western civilization, after which all men would be bearded, as were many women. But we're glad to know that we'll never have to buy another Gilette product again due to their high quality and poor marketing choices.
