Now we come to shaving. It is Gillette typical - that is, just as you would from Gillette has long been accustomed to - a difference in the thoroughness of the Fusion Power can I tell little as well as to its predecessors M3 Power, Mach3 Turbo and Mach3. The last little improvement was my opinion before 10 - 15 years, when changing from Sensor Excel on the Mach3 instead.
The only thing that has continuously evolved from model to model, the prices of the blades. Gillette is not too shabby, this every time to raise exorbitant. The pain threshold was crossed for miles around the Fusion Power - but cost 8 blades around 30 euros. Compared to the new ProGlide Power they appear but again like a bargain - Who blade is facing the bay of ProGlide Power, will probably freeze almost to ice - are but a whopping 40 Euro (no, I have not committed myself: FORTY) for called 8 blade - again almost 35% more than for the Fusion Power - that you would expect some deal - and get nothing. The same razor that has commanded even the Fusion Power and as I said the Mach3. And are the change from Fusion Power on Power ProGlide not even added more blades, so that the additional costs with higher material costs would be to establish at least half alibi.
As Gillette has obviously noticed even that thoroughness is hardly improved, you no longer hear in advertising to the corresponding products, the thoroughness in the foreground - no, it is rather the set "very pleasant glide without irritation" in the foreground. But even this I could not find - a Gillette glides generally much more supple through his hair as for example the Wilkinson Quattro, but the fact of the Mach3 been just.. Also to Fusion Power was another huge advantage over Wilkinson, the continuous diameter (without guard) in the blade, remain as this depend less hair in the blade and the blade is much easier to clean (for Wilkinson is needed rather a steam cleaner as a get normal faucet to the hair from the blade) - as I said was! - Because with the ProGlide this advantage has done wholeheartedly: no, guard has not ProGlide! Gillette has geschaft other way to take away this advantage for yourself: the recipe is very simple: you set the blades simply so close together that get stuck between the blades the hair without guard. Without a massage shower head with the one after (and often while shaving because with the verhaarten blades no longer shave is possible without tearing the skin) every shave, rinse the blade with exorbitant must clean up a lot of water and time, now nothing works more ! In this respect there is not only no improvement, but a huge disadvantage compared to previous models.
Moreover, it is by no means so that the shaving is so good that no more potential for would - because it is so do not - there must be nachrasiert in so many places so often that here enormous development potential still exists - but this seems not to be so simple and Gillette bridged this order to present yet every few years a new model with "new revolutionary technology and new patents", but in the end no difference in the shave, but only in bolstering the cashier of the blades money-making machine in the house Gillette brings. The Gillette is still probably the best shaver on the market - more can be probably the most current technology in terms of "shaving" not - and this technology has obviously not developed just for the Mach3 - at least not noticeable in practice - possible that a measurable improvement is the laboratory where - in practice, but for me not be felt. Those who believe in the rest of the blades of ProGlide have at least a considerably longer service life than the previous, the irrg huge! Again, I could not detect any differences - probably will within the framework of "planned obsolescence" by Gillette not be desired.
Save yourself the outrageous cost of maintaining the ProGlide and even the merger. Also on M3 Power and Mach3 Turbo, you can do without. If you have a Mach3, keep it - if not, purchase it! I test since the Sensor Excel every model of Gillette - but after I found no differences in the past four models I'm gone over to me though to buy the new razor with a pack of blades, but after it's depleted, return back to my Mach3. If in X years actually once again come to the market, which shaved more thoroughly a model, so I make that finding by the trial and then, if necessary, decide on its value. As long as Gillette's new products make exclusively negative in purse noticeable, I leave it trying out and then buy again Mach3 blades - these are pricewise even halfway acceptable, although at that time I groaned at the presentation of Mach3 also about the price increase over the Sensor Excel - but here smaller value was at least a (very) commanded and they had at least the subjective feeling, not to pay the extra charge completely unjustified. But if the price policy of Gillette look at, so you need to be a great prophet to divine order that we, if we wait just a few more model generations probably soon a three-figure sum for a 8-seater must be lying Pack blades. - Then I can do without! Do it well - perhaps comes Gillette sometime to his senses when the "cash cow Nassrasierer" no longer can offer everything and develop future less along the lines of how it can be hired marketing technically adept, abzukassieren even more money for the same services, but focuses again on really developing products in their performance.
