5 out of 5 stars Great shaving, great longevity   September 4, 2008
I bought a Gillette Fusion razor about a year ago. The other day I realize it needed a new blade (admittedly I don't shave every day). I'm going to have to buy some more of these in 2016.


5 out of 5 stars PRETTY NICE SHAVING EXPERIENCE.   August 21, 2008
I WOULD NOT TYPICALLY TAKE TIME TO COMMENT ON SOMETHING AS MUNDANE AS A SHAVING PRODUCT BUT, I HAVE TO SAY IT MAKES A DAILY ACTIVITY SOME WHAT ENJOYABLE, THE POWER RAZOR REALLY DOES WORK WELL & GIVES YOU A REAL CLOSE COMFORTABLE SHAVE!

PRICEY FOR A RAZOR BUT, I CONSIDER IT AS A WELL DESERVED LITTLE LUXURY.




1 out of 5 stars Too cheap at any price   August 17, 2008

This product looked good for the price. Too good infact, think it was a knockoff. Don't waste your money.


4 out of 5 stars Fusion Power Cartridges - Nice Performance, Premium Price   August 11, 2008
Gillette Fusion Power Replacement Cartridges, 8-Count Package may not be the greatest value out there, but if you have a Gillette Fusion Power Razor, Phantom, 1 razor these refills are what you need. While I can understand that some accuse Gillette of a gimmick, I can say that these razor blades definitely do seem to shave closer than the Mach 3 version. So if it's a gimmick, then I too have been fooled.

However, as it pertains to value there's no doubt that these come at a premium price. I was hesitant to accept it at first, but after using these refills for a while I am willing to accept the premium. Perhaps its because of the extra blades, but these refills seem to last longer than my Mach 3 ones did.

I've also heard it said that Gillette manufactures refills to a lower qualtiy than the initial blades. Once again, I've been using mine for a long time and didn't experience that first hand. But be aware of this for yourself as you try these refills. That way you'll be able to report if I have been fooled about that too. :)

I think this 8 cartridge pack will last me a LONG time. One word of advice, don't store them in your bathroom where the steam will degrade the blades before use. Store them in a dry pantry or somewhere else till use.

Enjoy!



1 out of 5 stars Beware with rust   June 20, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Three months ago, I bought 48 Gillette Fusion Power refills (quite an investment), and placed them on my bathroom drawer, and to my surprise, last week I went to replace a cartridge, and found that ALL, literally all, were completely rusted !

It's a a shock, and all Mach 3 I had there for longer than that were just like new.

How can P&G can explain that??
