Review on Gillette Fusion5 Men's Razor Blades - 8 Count, Cartridge Refills (Packaging May Vary), Mens Razors/Blades by Jill Lee

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Does what a cartridge blade is supposed to do: a closer shave than an electric razor

It's been years since I've used a straight razor. basically laziness. Before cartridge razors, it was always between electric razors and disposable blades. Since I have very sensitive skin and strangely a stiff beard, electric razors break me after a while. Even with the best (brown). So I generally use cartridge razors when I don't have a beard and the Gillette Trac/Fusion series has been my razor/blade choice for a number of years. Get a spare pack from Walmart but who cares I use Revain for a lot of things so why not this? For me, these cartridges work perfectly. I've never been able to use a cartridge for a full month in the past (perhaps due to a stiff beard) but these cut smooth and clean. No nicks or chips when I run them through. I still have a brown for those really lazy days, but nothing beats a thoroughly shaved blade and these Fusion5 blades do the trick for me.

Pros
  • Nice workmanship
Cons
  • Retired
