Gillette Fusion 1st Shave

[VIAN]

I'm a regular user of the Mach3 "Cool Blue" . I've tried the Quattro, and it sucked. The shave was less close than the Mach3 and it was heavy and clumbsy to use, and difficult to clean. I just bought the Fusion yesterday and used it today with my facial hair about 1mm in length. I got the regular version because at the store, I didn't realize that there were two versions and the fact that the, so called "POWER" effect, is just a gimmick. Schik won a lawsuit last year against Gillette for false advertising of the M3 Power.

[The Fusion Experience]
The Fusion saved me time by cutting the hair from my face in substantially less strokes. And it shaved closer than the Mach3. The trimmer is nice for precise cutting as it mentions on the box.

It seemed though that my skin would get irritated more quickly than with the Mach3 if I went over it again to get a few hairs that weren't cut with the previous stroke. That could be dangerous. Of course this is only the first time shaving with the razor; I should get used to handling it in time.

Overall, though, I'm satisfied with my purchase. I love how much less time it takes to shave. I'll keep using it and report anything else.

I always shave with my remington electric razor and then touch up with the fusion, when i do it this way my face has no nicks or irritation.

I plan to get one once I use up my last 5 Mach 3 blades.

I'll stick with my hobo look then.

When is the six-blader from Schick coming out?

I got the fusion and have shaved a few times with it- I shave every day and don't really have sensitive skin..
that being said
I got the power version (no diff w/ vibrating or non vibrating). It is the best shave I've gotten, but not by much. I used to use the mach 3 for a long time, but when I tried the quattro it was much much better/closer for me than the mach 3- thats what I've been using the last 6mo+. Tried the mach 3 a couple weeks ago- still wasnt anywhere close to the quatro for me. The fusion is a TINY bit better than the quatro- not by much at all, and for me at least, not worth the extra $$ on cartridges compared to the quatro- I'll be going back to the quatro after this first blade wears out.
no irritation caused by the fusion.

WHOAH WHOAH hold up stop the thread stop the thread....someone actually liked the quattro??? wow.

Having said that, I think the razor thing is getting ridiculous. Just use a mach 3.

I used to be a Mach 3 user. I got a free Quattro in the mail a while back and it worked pretty well. At first I didn't feel like it shaved as close at the Mach 3 but I eventually began to like it and now I use it most all the time.

I really want to try the new Fusion but I recently bought a pack of blades for the Quattro so I'll wait it out and see.

Ya I know...I actually tried the quatro thinking I was going to hate it, but for one reason or another it shaved the best for me...that being said, it IS hard to clean...

i use a quattro right now because I got it as a stocking stuffer in xmas. I like the mach 3 better. As soon as this blade wears out, im switching back to the mach-3
