Balea Men vs. 5 Gillette Flexball (Power vs. normal)

Gillette ProGlide Flexball Power Shaver (Health and Beauty)

Customer Review

I shave for a long time with the 5 blades Balea Men shaver. Actually, I was always quite happy, not really happy but was ok. The blade life is approximately 8 shaves, then it's over. Major drawback of cheap blades is that they corrode over time, unfortunately, the evidence is not of good quality and, secondly, it probably is not really hygienic. The blade head is very bulky and large but very gently. The biggest advantage of Balea is the super successful precision blade. When Gillette this is something "hidden", when you realize this Balea better to just get more feedback on the skin.

The Gillette PowerFlex ball I was allowed to test as part of a promotional program for free. First of all: I do not, I would have bought it for 17 euros in the Power Edition think. Clear the Gillette must entice and convince only at these prices.

The Gillette despite Power and Flexball handier and less than the Balea. I was totally surprised when I held this in my hand. He makes a very valent impression is even with wet hands securely in your hand. The Balea has here clearly at a disadvantage.

With regard to shaving it is indeed a difference like night and day. It's just as usual - as long as one has no comparison is what you have always been good. The Gillette is superior to the Balea in all respects. In order to exhaust time I shave now for 3 weeks daily with Gillette Power. The blade (see photo) is still as sharp as in the beginning. No tangles, no tear. The razor glides as the beginning through the skin and shave without irritation. I have a really sensitive skin on the neck and tend to razor bumps. Therefore, at Balea by knapp1 week concludes from there `s bloody because the blades totally lose its sharpness and only tear.

Clear cost Gillette blades and twice to 3 times. But it is worth simply. I think that I loose one month pack with good shaving preparation (hot water, pre-shave and good shaving gel) with a blade. The Lubrastreifen (glide) on Gillette's even after 3 weeks still faded top, but it easily think of anything off or tattered as the Balea after a week already (see photo). He also does not lubricate as well as the competitors.

So I will definitely permanently switch to Gillette since the Blades prices nevertheless relativize and feel is simply gentle. It makes the part more fun to shave. I have the power version and have to say that there is no difference in the result here, but I have always enabled because it is simply an amazing Chill, it stimulates the skin and feels fresher somehow. It's just a pure fun factor, but the 4 euros one must invest only once and then just the power - so I can not recommend anyone to take this version, if need be taking it out. It belongs to me but somehow mitlerweile for shaving experience it.

Nevertheless, I bought subsequently not Power blades but the normal fusion blades (all fusion blades fit all Fusion handles). These are less expensive per piece 1 Euro and have a single Unetrschied not these small metal comb behind the rubber lip (see photo) is to straighten the hair. Since I did not realize this crest I also spend no Euro for more.

The blades keep the way just as long, it is virtually only to this ridge, this might be useful in heavy thick beard hair, so I have but not necessarily.

The Flexball technology I've never missed it but still find quite handy. Shaving it falls so do not give up. As one with a razor mostly eh only just draws lines and not circling rumfährt the face it's a nice gimmick but surely no revelation. It makes shaving neither better nor more thoroughly, but still feels good and high quality, and just in the neck-chin area is to use but not essential. However, it is disturbing in any way.

My recommendation therefore: Power Shaver Flexball with normal fusion blades !!! In a really good shave preparation blades keep really long, not rust and shave is fun =)
