Good Points
Improved hadle and power button over the Mach 3
Addition of single blade for tricky areas
Bad Points
Size of cartridge
cost
feels like waxing your face rather than shaving it
gives a patchy result.
General Comments
I can't recommend the Gilette Fusion for so many reasons, but primarily because it fails to be a good razor which is it's raison d'etre. Stick with its predecessor, the Mach 3 with power and get a better shave for considerably less cost...
This razor seems to rip the hairs out of your face rather than cut them, and it's not a comfortable experience. If it succeded in producing a better result I mayhave continued to suffer in the name of vanity, but it doesn't. The results are worse than the M3 I have reverted to. In addition the 5 blades and massive silicon strip make the whole cartride so big that in some places it just couldn't reach my skin. I'll use the cartridges I have up and then it will go in the bin.
