I got a package in the mail last week. It was from Gillette. Inside was a Gillette Fusion razor.<\/p>\n
Now, I had not requested this item but Gillette sent it to me anyway. They did the same thing with their Mach 3 razor several years ago.<\/p>\n
I am an old fashioned guy who shaves with a modest Atra razor. It only has two blades rather than 3 blades in the Mach 3 or the enormous 5 blades in the Fusion.<\/p>\n
Some how, the Mach 3s extra blade didn’t seem like it would make that much difference over my Atra but the three more blades on the Fusion could reduce my shaving time. After all, I am the guy who has changed from shaving cream to the old mug and brush method because I got tired of the time wasted shaking the can.<\/p>\n
So, today, I decided to give the Fusion a trial. After all, I didn’t have to buy it.<\/p>\n
My initial impression was OK not WOW! The handle had a good feel and the razor had a nice balance. As for shaving, it had a little bit of a pull on my skin. But in all fairness, all new blade act that way.<\/p>\n
I expected those five blade to give me a close shave. But that wasn’t the case. I had to go over my face and do touch ups.<\/p>\n
Maybe after a few more shaves, I will come to appreciate those 5 blades. Anyway, my Atra is like 30 years old so I guess it is time to move on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
