Gillette Fusion 5 Razor with 1 Blade Refill

Description

The Gillette Fusion 5 razor is a manual razor for men, packed with an ergonomic handle and one five-blade Fusion5 cartridge. Five anti-friction blades, a lubrication strip and soft microfins turn your daily shave into a smooth, comfortable routine. The cartridge comes fitted to the handle, so the razor is ready the moment you open the pack.

What is the Gillette Fusion 5 razor?

Gillette Fusion 5 is a five-blade razor built for a close and comfortable shave. The pack holds a handle and a cartridge, so you need nothing extra to have your first shave. Inside the cartridge, five blades sit tightly side by side and work together for an easy glide. A microcomb guides the hairs towards the blades, while soft microfins in front of them stretch and smooth the skin before each stroke.

The cartridge also carries a lubrication strip that helps the blades move across your skin. It is larger than the strip on earlier Fusion5 refills. The result is a comfortable, close shave.

Five blades and a lubrication strip

The cartridge holds five anti-friction blades that cooperate for a comfortable shave. That setup suits men who shave often and want the same even result every morning. The lubrication strip sits just after the blades and helps the cartridge travel over the skin with ease. As you use the cartridge the colour of the strip fades, a handy sign that a fresh one is due.

The microfins sit ahead of the blades. They gently stretch and smooth the skin right before each blade passes over it. Every stroke therefore starts on an even, prepared surface, and the shave feels calm and unhurried.

Precision trimmer and ergonomic handle

On the back sits a precision trimmer for hard-to-reach spots. Use it under the nose and around the corners of the mouth, or to keep a moustache, sideburns or goatee tidy. The handle is ergonomic and designed for better control even when wet.

Refills and compatibility

One Fusion5 cartridge is made for up to 20 shaves, which equals about a month of shaving. When a cartridge has done its job, swap in a new one and keep the handle. The handle takes every Gillette five-blade refill except GilletteLabs.

A pack of four, such as Gillette Fusion 5 blades makes a handy spare. If you prefer a bigger stock, there is also the six-pack of Gillette Fusion replacement blades. That way a fresh cartridge is always at hand and your routine runs on smoothly.

Shaving with a gel

The Fusion5 range includes shaving gels too. We stock the cooling Gillette Fusion5 shaving gel for sensitive skin, a good partner for the razor. The gel softens the hairs and makes shaving easier, so your skin feels comfortable before, during and after the shave.

Who the razor suits

This razor is for men who want simple, dependable daily shaving without complicated extras. Fusion5 is Gillette’s familiar five-blade system, and you will find it in bathrooms and travel bags alike. Handle and cartridge arrive together, which is convenient when the old razor has finished and a new one is needed straight away.

It suits people who are often on the move, too. The handle fits a wash bag, and the cartridge is ready to use without any preparation. In a hotel room, at the gym or after a long flight, it helps when your shaving tool is easy and reliable. The pack also makes a practical gift for a father, brother or friend who likes useful things.

The Gillette Fusion 5 razor in your daily routine

In the morning every minute counts, and a good razor saves a few. The Fusion5 handle gives better control in wet conditions and the five-blade cartridge moves smoothly over the skin. In the evening, before an event, the precision trimmer helps to set the beard lines. At the weekend you can take your time and enjoy a calm, comfortable shave. A cartridge lasts about a month, so swapping in a new one is a clear and easy ritual.
