Gillette Fusion: Big advance over the Mach3 but not as overpriced as the ProGlide

Video at Amazon.com See I have made in recent weeks to the test and bought the Mach3, the merger and the merger ProGlide for the ultimate Gillette comparison. Finally, the three systems have in the long run a large price difference and "man" would not so unnecessary to spend much money, or worse, be unnecessary "skin irritation" suspend - how the industry would call it. During the merger already here appears quite different from the Mach3 with its three blades of the structure with its five blades and a separate trimming blade, the ProGlide looks no different than the normal fusion. The difference is at first sight only in the price: The Fusion ProGlide costs 3.30 Euro per blade head at a 12-pack of nearly 40 per cent more than the normal Fusion razor, which ranked at 2.40 euros. The MACH3 currently costs about 1.80 Euros per blade head.

When shaving experiment with one side of the face over a week I have noticed a marked difference between the Mach3 and Fusion in comparison. During the Mach3 stronger resistance and a stronger tweet can be felt during shaving, the merger slides better over the skin and leaves a noticeably smoother skin than the Mach3. Moreover, the Mach3 caused occasionally a small incision, which is the merger not allowed. The problem raised by many reviewers constipation problem due to the small blade spacing during fusion I could see only in a non-daily shaving. But since it did, just to push the razor against a centimeter shaving direction and even the blades were free again. The following week, I then compared the merger with the merger ProGlide. Here was just a slightly better quality blades of ProGlide determine. However, the shave itself was absolutely identical for both sides of the face.

Result: For me personally, going out of my two weeks compared to the normal fusion due to the best price-performance ratio as first choice forth. The Mach3 was compared to the Fusion system with a poorer cut with little savings for merger are not convincing. However, the merger ProGlide will cost 90 cents per blade head more than the normal fusion, without better results to deliver and even to use it only feels marginally better at. However, those who themselves suffer from the normal merger of irritated skin, should try the Fusion ProGlide blade heads quietly. These also fit the normal fusion handles. A large development that would justify 40 percent surcharge, however, I can not watch the ProGlide.
