In the tests, the Gilette razors are in front and also I find the Gilette Fusion Proglide better than the Hydro 5, because he even cleaner and even more gently shaved and especially not so clunky. BUT, the Hydro 5 is that the price of blades As clearly forward. For the Gilette blades you pay almost double, and so much better then they are also not that it justifies.
