Fusion ProGlide Power Razor

Breakthrough Blade Technology

The new Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ Power Razor has re-engineered blades with edges that are thinner than Fusion. They are finished with Gillette’s most advanced low-resistance coating, which allows the blades to glide effortlessly through hair. Providing incredible comfort, even if you shave everyday.

Even with thinner, finer blades*, an enhanced lubrastrip and improved blade suspension system, you may not see all of the latest innovations on the NEW Gillette Fusion ProGlide and Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power Razors with the naked eye but after one shave, you’ll stop shaving and start gliding.

What makes Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ Power better than Gillette® Fusion® Power?
What makes Fusion® ProGlide™ Power better than Fusion® Power is technological innovation. The razor has been reengineered and redesigned to create Gillette's Most Comfortable Shave*.
Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ Power shares the same core technology as Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide: thinner, finer blades, a low resistance coating and the redesigned Precision Trimmer Blade. In addition to this:
  • The improved blade stabilizer helps maintain precise blade spacing for optimal comfort.
  • The redesigned handle now has larger, more ergonomic grips for better control.
  • The enhanced Lubrastrip is now larger, with more lubricants and a touch of mineral oil.
  • The redesigned precision trimmer now features an improved blade and anti-clogging rinse slots.
  • The streamlined comfort guard offers channels to help clear away excess shave prep.
  • The MicroComb, found exclusively on the Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ Power, actually helps guide hair to the blade.


Together, these technologies combine to create Gillette's Most Comfortable Shave.

*Available in manual and power, respectively

How does the Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ Power handle compare with the Gillette® Fusion® Power handle?
The handles on the Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ and Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ Power Razors, now with bigger, more ergonomic side grips, to help provide a secure grip when wet. That means you'll have more control as you shave and less worry about any slippery situations in the shower.
What is the microchip and how does it work?
A battery-powered razor delivers an optimal shave when the voltage and frequency remain consistent shave after shave. Over the lifetime of the battery, the voltage can weaken, reducing frequency and therefore performance. The microchip maintains constant voltage and frequency over the lifetime of the battery, delivering consistent product performance every time you shave.
How does the Low-Battery Indicator Light work?
When a battery reaches a certain level, the oscillation frequency declines and the system is no longer capable of delivering the optimal shave. The microchip inside Gillette Fusion ProGlide™ PowerTM senses when the battery is approaching this level. When this happens, the Low-Battery Indicator Light begins to flash, signaling that it's time to change the AAA battery.
What is the Automatic Shut-Off feature?
The Automatic Shut-Off feature turns the razor off after roughly 8 minutes of continuous operation. This feature protects the battery if the razor is accidentally activated, especially when traveling.
How does movement of the razor give men a better shave?

With battery-powered razors, Gillette® opened a new chapter in wet shaving. The addition of oscillation to Gillette® wet shaving systems delivers soothing micropulses with comfort so incredible, you'll barely feel the blades. Fusion® ProGlide™ Power is Gillette's most comfortable shave*.

*Available in manual and power, respectively

For best results, should the power be turned on or off when using the Precision Trimmer Blade?
The Precision Trimmer Blade can be used with the power turned on or off. Preference varies from person to person. Using the Precision Trimmer Blade with or without power is an individual choice.
What type of battery does Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ Power use? How long does it last?
Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ Power utilizes a AAA battery. With the Low-Battery Indicator Light, Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ Power will let you know when it's time to change the battery. Assuming average shaving, the battery should last approximately 3—6 months.
Is it safe to shave with Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ Power in the shower?
Yes. Gillette® ProGlide™ Power is watertight and totally safe to use in wet environments.
Can I get electrocuted if Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ Power is submerged in water?
No. Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ Power is safe to use in water.
How long will the Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ Power cartridge last?
How long a razor 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™ Power's reformulated INDICATOR® lubricating strip 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 change your cartridge for a more comfortable shave.
What are thinner, finer blades and how will they improve my shave?
Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ Power razor has 5 blades spaced closer together, forming an advanced shaving surface. The razor blades are thinner than those of Fusion–a design that allows the blades to be even more flexible.
How was the Precision Trimmer redesigned?
The blade was improved and anti-clogging rinse slots were added.
What is the Streamlined Comfort Guard with channels? What are the benefits of the Streamlined Comfort Guard?
Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ Power features a new 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 follows the contours of your face to help the shaving surface of the razor comfortably shave close.
Have there been any enhancements to the lubrication strip?
Yes. It now contains more lubricants and a touch of mineral oil.
Will the Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ Power cartridge fit any other razors on the market?
The Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ Power cartridge features a new razor blade that fits on any Gillette® Fusion, Fusion® ProGlide™ or Fusion® ProGlide™ Power handle.
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.
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.
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®.
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.
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.
What is the difference between disposable and refillable razors?
The entire 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 more advanced blade technology and ergonomics vs. most disposables for great control and a close comfortable shave.
What is the difference between a single, double, triple and 5-blade razor? Which is best?
Gillette's research has demonstrated that single blade technology, which has been applied since 1901, is demonstrably inferior to twin blade shaving systems such as SensorExcel®, and even more so to 5-blade systems such as Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide. But the number of blades alone does not ensure a superior shave. The 5-blade shaving surface of Fusion® ProGlide™ Power features progressive blade alignment, patented blade coating process and a flexible comfort guard which collectively provide Gillette's best shave.
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 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.
