Gillette Fusion Replacement Blades for Men 6pcs

Description

These Gillette Fusion replacement blades come as a pack of six cartridges for the Fusion5 razor. Each cartridge has five anti-friction blades and a precision blade on the back for hard-to-reach spots. Gillette says one cartridge gives up to 20 comfortable shaves, or up to a month of shaving.

What are Gillette Fusion replacement blades?

Fusion5 is Gillette’s five-blade shaving system for men, earlier sold simply as Fusion. The cartridges are designed for a close, long-lasting shave. According to Gillette, blades 1 to 4 carry the brand’s sharpest edges, so a single stroke can cut each hair up to five times. Thanks to their open structure, the cartridges are easy to clean. A pack of six is a handy supply for everyday shaving.

Cartridge features

• Five closely spaced blades – the narrow gaps keep the skin smooth, so the cartridge moves over it with very little friction.
• Lubrastrip releases lubrication on contact with water and helps the blades glide.
• Change indicator – the blue strip slowly fades to white with use, a sign that it is time for a new cartridge.
• Microcomb guides the hairs towards the blades.

Precision blade on the back

The back of the cartridge holds an angled precision blade. It makes it easy to shave under the nose and around the corners of the mouth, and to shape a beard, moustache or sideburns. More products for men are in the men’s grooming category, and the whole brand is on our Gillette page.

Frequently asked questions

Which razor do these blades fit?

The cartridges fit Fusion5 and Fusion5 Power razors. Gillette says they also work with ProGlide and SkinGuard handles. If you need a handle, see our Fusion5 razor.

When should I change the cartridge?

Gillette says a cartridge lasts for up to 20 shaves. The Lubrastrip is a good guide: once the blue colour has gone, it is time for a fresh cartridge.

How do I clean the cartridge?

Rinse the cartridge under water from back to front every few strokes. After shaving, shake off the water gently and let it dry naturally. If you have a razor stand or a mini hanger, keep the razor there until your next shave.

Which gel should I use?

Gillette suggests Fusion5 Ultra Sensitive shave gel with Fusion5 cartridges to help protect the skin. Our shop stocks the cooling shaving gel from this range.
