That’s just one of the many features you’ll find on the Gillette Fusion ProGlide and Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power Razors.

Love this razor. I use it to shave my head every two days. I just wish it was a little cheaper.

I received this handle free through a program run by Gillette. This handle is a very solid handle, fairly ergonomic, but it could be weighted a little better. The balance of the razor is heavy towards the blade end, I prefer a well balanced razor. It is a super light handle. The load/unload for this handle is as easy as I have ever used on any razor. With a simple click you can unload the razor right into the trash, then press the handle into a new blade to reload without any effort. I also own the battery powered handle, which I had purchased prior to doing this review. I much prefer the slightly more expensive power handle to this handle. The balance is perfect in the power handle, as the battery weight evens out the load, this is not to speak of the actual shave itself. The looks of this handle are sleek and stylish, I actually enjoy the look on the counter (did I just really say that?, yup!). Other than that, the grips themselves are great, there is a nice distribution of rubber grips on the handle, which keep the razor solidly in your hand as you shave, even if you reach a rough patch that pulls, the razor powers through since the handle does not slip in your hand. I'd certainly recommend the powerless handle, but if you had your pick, take the AAA powered handle instead, its worth the extra money.

I've used a straight Gillette handle for over ten years now, just replacing blades. It worked fine, and I never had trouble gripping it or maneuvering. I got this one to try for free through one of Gillette's promotions. The new handle's good, too, but I didn't really notice any functional difference. I can see how the new grip would help if I shaved in the shower, or if I was coming from a handle that was significantly smoother.

To begin I'm not much of a shaving kind of guy, I hardly have facial hair and only would use any other razor once a week. Since I have received the new "fusion pro glide styler and razor" I now trim what little facial hair I have frequently. I really like the close shave even after multiple uses. And my wife loves it as well. I would highly recommend this product to any one.

I received the Gillette Fusion ProGlide to try for free from a Gillette program. The blades are advanced. They are thinner and finer than the Fusion. This helps to provide a sleek glide over the skin without pulling. The outcome is soft, smooth skin.

I was surprised to see how I enjoyed the handle on the new Gillette Fusion Pro Glide. It fit nicely in my hand so I could concentrate more on the shaving and not on the holding of the razor itself.

At first I wasn't necessarily impressed with the handle of the ProGlide. However, after I switched back to my Mach3 to use the rest of the cartridges I still had, I immediately noticed a difference. It feels stronger and like the center of gravity is maximized to help pull the blade around hard to reach areas much easier. It seems like most of the times I cut myself is because of a lack of control over the blade. This handle definitely mitigates a lot of the problems I've had with blade control in the past that have lead to cuts.

So far, Gillette Fusion Proglide has the best handle I've ever tried among manual razors- it's slim and comfortable and easily fits into your hand. It's not heavy, which helps you to shave easier and smoother.

I have used this razor a couple times now and the problem I have with most of them is the comfort in handling. That feeling under your fingers and the feeling in the tips of your fingers as your pulling this razor across your skin, or better yet as a man, your adam's apple, we have to trust a razor and its ability to smoothly slice through all sorts of facial hair. We have different grains and this is what makes gillette's razor one of a kind, and an evolutionary jump in shaving

My wife and I love the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor. I use it to shave my face and she uses it to shave her legs and underarms, we love the closeness and smoothness it gives us every-time. Gillette Fusion is the only razor used in our home. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RAZOR.

I was happy to receive the Fusion as part of the BuzzAgent program, as I was not ready to spend so much on a shaving system just to try it. It has been the best shave I've had and it was good enough for my son for his first shave. We're hooked! Try it! You will love it!

Ask a Question alt
/en/us/productDetail/reviewIndex.aspx?reviewx=270&type=Question
alt What makes Gillette Fusion® ProGlide Power™ better than Gillette® Fusion® Power?

The Fusion® ProGlide™ Power from Gillette gives you your best shave yet. With years of technological and product innovation, Gillette has created its most advanced blade ever.

Gillette Fusion ProGlide and Fusion ProGlide Power share the same core technology: thinner, finer blades* helping glide through the hair for less tug and pull**, a low resistance coating and the Precision Trimmer Blade. In addition to this:
  • The streamlined comfort guard with channels to help clear away excess shave prep.
  • The MicroComb, found exclusively on the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power, helps guide hair to the blade.

The combination of these technologies have helped create Gillette’s best have yet.

* First 4 blades vs. Fusion
** vs. Fusion

alt How does the Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ handle compare with the Gillette Fusion handle? 
The Fusion ProGlide has ergonomic side grips for better handling.
alt How long will the Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ cartridge last? 
How long a cartridge lasts varies from person to person, as it is dependent on many variables such as beard toughness and thickness, beard preparation, shaving habits, and skin sensitivity. The Gillette Fusion ProGlide's reformulated Indicator Lubrastrip™ will provide you with a visual cue - it fades to white - when optimal shave conditions have been reduced. When this happens, you may want to consider changing your cartridge for an optimal shave. What about up to 5 weeks of comfortable shaves?
alt What are thinner, finer blades and how will they improve my shave?


Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power™ razor has been engineered with Gillette’s thinnest blades ever*, so it glides through the hair for less tug and pull**.

* First 4 blades vs. Fusion
** vs. Fusion
alt How was the Precision Trimmer redesigned over Fusion?
The blade was improved and anti-clogging rinse slots were added.
alt What is the Streamlined Comfort Guard with channels? What are the benefits of the Streamlined Comfort Guard?

Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ features a Streamlined Comfort Guard. The soft, flexible material surrounds the microfins, creating an outer edge that wraps around the sides of the cartridge and channels that clear away excess shave prep. This Streamlined Comfort Guard helps the shaving surface of the razor comfortably shave close.
alt Have there been any enhancements to the lubrication strip?
Yes. It contains more lubricants and a touch of mineral oil.
alt Will the Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ cartridge fit any other razors on the market?
The Gillette Fusion ProGlide cartridge features a new razor blade that fits on any Gillette Fusion, Fusion ProGlide or Fusion ProGlide Power™ handle.
alt Is it better to use hot, cold, or warm water to shave?
Warm water is best for hydrating beard hair. Soaking in warm water softens hair and causes it to expand, making it 70% easier to cut.
alt What is the best way to avoid razor burn?
If the skin is not properly prepared before shaving or if the blade on your razor is dull, you are more likely to end up with razor burn. Make sure to hydrate hair in warm water for up to three minutes and apply plenty of shave gel. Also, be sure to change the blade on your razor at the first sign of dullness or discomfort.
alt Is it okay to let my girlfriend or wife borrow my men’s razor?
For both hygiene and performance, it's not a good idea to share your razor with your partner. Women have a much larger area to shave and you may find that after only a few shaves, your blade has dulled considerably, increasing the likelihood of nicks and cuts. Tell her to try a razor specifically designed for the way a woman shaves, such as Gillette® Venus® Embrace®.
alt Does shaving make your hair grow back thicker?
Scientists at Gillette have conducted extensive testing on the effects shaving has on both male and female hair growth, texture and color. This testing has proven that shaving does not affect hair growth, color or texture. Shaving does, however, alter the tip shape of the regrown hair, which may initially change the way hair feels as it grows back. But if hair is left to re-grow completely, it will return to its former state.
alt In what direction should I shave to achieve the best shave?
Men's facial hair tends to grow in different directions. Start by shaving with light, gentle strokes with the grain. Then, if necessary, go against the grain for an even closer shave.
alt What is the difference between disposable and refillable razors?
The entire shaving razor is discarded when you are through with a disposable razor. With a refillable razor, only the blade cartridge is replaced. Refillable razors like Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ and Gillette Fusion incorporate advanced blade technology and ergonomics for great control and a close comfortable shave.
alt What is the benefit of a 5-blade razor?

Gillette Fusion and Fusion ProGlide razors have five blades spaced close together, to help reduce pressure while shaving for more comfort and less irritation than MACH3.

But there’s more to shaving than just the number of blades. The 5-blade shaving surface of Fusion ProGlide Power features thinner, finer blades*, progressive blade alignment, and a flexible comfort guard to provide Gillette’s best shave.

alt How do I avoid nicks and cuts, particularly above my upper lip?
The area above the upper lip is tricky for many men. To help avoid nicks and cuts, always leave it for last. Apply plenty of shave gel or shaving cream and allow this area to soak up as much lather as possible. When shaving, don't apply too much pressure. Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide's™ Precision Trimmer is really useful when shaving under the nose.
