All Gillette Fusion products are useless to me because of the silly little trimmer blade installed on the back side.
I use the tip of my index finger resting lightly on the back of my Mach 3 or Quattro razor to help guide the razor as I use it. With any Fusion product, there’s a sharp blade right where I rest the tip of my finger.
If they start making a blade cartridge for this that doesn’t have the trimmer blade on the back, I’ll try it again. Until then, useless.

The Gillette Fusion Power and The Gillette Fusion product range is a joke.
Coating your face will cold crappy canned goo gel and running 5 dull blades across your face is not fun.
Guys out there need to realise that after the second blade passes over the skin, the hair is already shaved down as close as it will go depending on if your are shaving with, across or against the grain. All the other 3 blades are doing is shaving off another layer of skin making you far more prone to shaving irritations and razor burn. Iam sorry guys, Its all a gimmick!!!
The Gillette Fusion is big and clumsy. The head is so big that you can get no control over where you are shaving. Gillette have tried to account for this by putting that single blade trimmer on the back of the razor. I found this to be totally hopeless as it is very hard to get the correct angle while trying to trim sideburns.
The 5 blades are spaced far to close together. This means the razor drags over the skin and actually pulls the hair out at the root rather than shaving it off. That is why a lot of men prefer the power version to the manual version. The vibrating version masks the fact that your facial hair is being pulled out rather than cut. I also find that because the blades are so closely spaced together it can be a nightmare to clean. Hair and shave gel gets clogged in between the blades very easily.
To top this all off Gillette are charging £2.50 for a replacement cartridge. What a joke.

My dad has resisted changing his 40 year old razor and single safety blade but I iniststed on buying him Fusion power when he was visiting last time. I thought the new technology will give him a better shaving experience and make him change his mind till he complained that the the razor actually “pulls” the hair out not cut it!!
I couldn’t believe it and tried it on my own. And bou was it painful!
I used warm towel on my face, moisturizer and even a little massage to soften the skin but the moment vibrating Fusion touched my face, I yelped like a puppy.
The darned thing really stings! It pulls at each hair like what a medieval plier would.
In the end I used a “Longs” disposable to get a smoother, better and much quicker shave.
