Marketing bungling and overrated name!

Since this is the "best of Gillette blade", I will also measure accurately at this scale. Caveat: If you compare the original fusion blade with this, the Proglide has made a giant leap forward that you have to really say. But with such a price for the blades, you really have to really offer a lot to justify that.

Featuring:

The shaver looks beautiful. It is made of rubber and metal, so has a nice weight and fits comfortably in your hand. The rubber fins do the rest, so that he will always remain razor in his hand. No matter how I hold him: No slipping. 2 *

The Blade:

As I said: The blade is significantly better than that of fusion. It is equipped with holes, which should help to prevent clogging. I'm a big fan of it, because it really works. What bothers me animal, is the rupture of the blade in places with a lot of facial hair. For me that's the problem location chin. If I do not shave every day, he pulls my hair in a way that it is no longer solemnly. The trimming blade I also solved better, but it is to me still too little. Since making the competing product Wilkinson Hydro 5 a much better impression. It may be that it just seems to me so. I think a shave with the Hydro much more pleasant.
What I also insanely goes against the grain (HAHA razor wit), this indicator strip on the upper edge. Gillette advertises that the blade must be replaced when this strip is white. For me it was the case after 2 shaves. However, the blade is still sharp horny. This enticed to buy Gillette blades new if they are not needed. I think that's just outrageous, although I can understand that this company wants to make money. Here we have yet found a wonderful transitions to discuss that topic ...

... Price (:) to talk.

I get 8 blades for the Hydro 5 for the same price of 4 Mach3 blades. The cost of Proglide again 4 euros more and in my eyes the merger is much rougher to the skin, as the Hydro. The blades last longer. I find it to demand 16 euros an absurdity for 4 blades, just because a household name written on it. That's why I'm not a fan of fusion. I use it only for the body shaved, because of Gillette Body, I do not want to start is!

To shave, the price and the marketing mesh with the Lubra indicator strips I subtract 3 stars.

This shaver is not nearly as good as everyone says and the competition (Wilkinson) passes Gillette shaving systems at all from the rank!
