America fvck yea!

I must say I'm really impressed - they finally realized that being able to clean the razor is the best feature they can add to it. This thing cuts my shave time down by half, just because i don't have to waste time tryin to knock all the hairs and crap out of it.

seriously. I have one and it IS THE BEST razor I've ever used EVER. The vibrator version goes over my skin smoother too (I have the vibrator version). I use less strokes, and it gives me a smoother, closer shave with less irritation (damn I sound just like their commercial, but it's ABSOLUTELY TRUE).

I was VERY impressed when I first used it. and yes, quite easy to clean.

Meh. I'd put the Fusion at the bottom of my four (Braun Activator, Mach 3, Norelco Rotary, Fusion)

Do you actually have a beard?

I have a shit beard, but what grows is thick as hell, electrics just don't work for shit.

The Mach 3 is good, but the doggone expensive Fusion is the best...

It grows in fast but not extremely thick. I do have to shave every day for the electrics to be good - the braun in particular is terrible once it starts growing in. But I still prefer the Mach3 to the fusion.

it's too damn big.

that and the handle doesn't offer enough grip with it's smooth chrome-colored surfaces.

needs some grip tape or something.

Fusion blades go dull real fast for me. I have disposables that last longer, but the fusion does give a great shave.

I've got one and I'm not impressed by the $17 I have to shell out for blades. They say the strip will turn white when it's ready to be replaced, but mine turns white after the second or third shave. Hm..

Still a decent razor, though.

Fusion ripped my face apart when I tried it. It was so bad that I thought it was just defective.

Mach 3 for the infinite win.

I have always been happy with the Mach3 that i haven't tried anything else. Next time I get one I will try the vibrator fusion...

I agree. Was a loyal Mach 3 user...then tried the Quattro - had about 10 I got for free. Liked it, it cut better to me than the Mach 3. Got some samples of the Fusion - best shave I've ever had, hands down.

I have a cheap Norelco 3 circular blade electric. It shaves my face really well, but my face burns/gets really irritated after shaving if I sweat (go to the gym, etc). I just hate using it and don't use it for anything other than my sideburns now.

Schick razor are the worst. Every one I have tried ripped pieces of my face off.

I still stand by Sensor Excels. They are hard to find now, but last way longer than Mach 3's. My facial hair is brutal on razors. Mach 3's only last a couple shaves before they are worthless.

I thought the Fusion was a horrible razor, lasting only 2 shaves max before needing replacement. Then I started shaving in the shower. Can get a ridiculous number of clean shaves with one cartridge. Actually, I've been using the same one (free sample one, lol) for the past 3 months now, an average of 3 times a week.

word. i pay the extra money to get the sensor excel. they had it right with this version. i've got sensitive skin and after trying the mach 3 and the fusion, i came right back to it.

my costco carries the refills for it so i am set.

i have a fusion razor and i never use it. you might find it hard to believe, but i only use double edged safety razors. they are wayyyyy more gentle on my skin and i can get tons more control over the razors than the overly aggressive, irritating multi-blade razors nowadays (not to mention the safety razors are 10x cheaper). in fact, im home for the weekend for my brother's wedding, and I happened to use the fusion last night-- a rare occurence. Now I've got a bunch of irritated skin and razor bumps. argggghh.
