Features include.

Gillette Fusion Power features a breakthrough
5 blade Shaving Surface? technology on the front of the shaving cartridge. The blades are spaced
30 percent closer together than MACH3 blades.
This creates a ?Shaving Surface? that distributes
the shaving force across the blades for significantly less irritation and more comfort.

? Gillette?s most advanced blade edge technology delivers the smoothest blade edge coating, which translates into incredible glide and comfort.

? The new Flexible Comfort Guard follows the contours of the face to help the Shaving Surface comfortably shave closer.

? An Enhanced Indicator Lubrastrip infused with Vitamin E, Aloe and natural oils fades from blue
to white, signaling when optimal shave conditions have been reduced.

he Gillette Fusion Power handle features a sleek design with elastomer surrounding the handle to provide a more secure grip and better control. The on/off button is flush with the razor handle to help avoid accidental activation or deactivation and the Duracell AAA battery is easy to insert and replace.

The Gillette Fusion Power handle features an on-board microchip that optimizes the razor?s performance.

? Low-Battery Indicator Light signals when to change the Duracell AAA battery.

? Automatic Shut-off turns off the razor after about eight minutes in case of accidental activation.

For a shave so close, it'll shave the skin off your face, or your money back!

That's the Gillette guaranee.

Who wants to wager on the price. They're already like $3-4 a blade.... I'll bet this'll be 5

I'm holding out for the 2009 "davinci" concept, which utilizes 19 independent blades and runs on solar power.

Crap, the Mach 3 blades I buy now are already expensive. How much will this new razor cost, and will Gillette stop producing the Mach 3 once the new (and most likely spendier) blades hit the shelves?

I will settle for nothing less than a blade that uses nano-technology to wage Jihad against the hair folicles on my face.

I had learned about this months ago, through a friend who was working on the project. Had to keep my mouth shut though. Now we can talk about it!

But now you guys already know so... eh...

Yeah, that's the really fvcked up part. You can't hardly find a 2 blade razor anymore, and that's all I really need. I have a beard most of the time, but find a razor is easier to trim around the edges with (electrics tend to grab and yank the long hairs of a beard, and we don't even want to discuss how painful that can be!! :shocked: ). Paying what they're trying to charge for these 3 and 4 blade razors is just stupid!!

Time for everyone to stop buying razors for a month. Grow that beard out. Then go see how much prices have gone down. Face it, they know what you'll pay, cuz you're paying it, and they won't back down on the price until they're forced to. :(
