I'm going to hold out until the Fusion Turbo Power Hyper Plasma comes out this fall.

Got one today as an impulse buy while grocery shopping. I'll know by tomorrow morning how well it works.

Electric ftw!!! :p

Reminds me of the SNL skit where they had like 50 blades on one razor. :p

...and this blade will just cut you a bit deeper then the last 38.

I got one free in the mail last week...so random. If only they knew how little facial hair I grow...I wouldn't dull a Fusion before I'm 40 probably :p

I will say that it's well built...I haven't handled many disposable razors lately, but the handle is all metal with a good solid heft to it. The trim-blade on the back is pretty cool too.

I got one in the mail last week, and seeing as how it was time to change razor blades on my trusty old Mach 3 Turbo, I figured I'd give it a shot. I don't normally shave everyday since I get razor burn easily, so I had about 4 days worth of growth on my face.

First impressions? It sucks if you've got more than a day's worth of stubble. It felt like it was trying to pull the hairs out rather than cut them. I did notice that when I went back to get it totally smooth (I shave against and from the side to get everything) that it did feel quite nice. For the record, I use gel shaving cream, not foam (the brand name escapes me at the moment).

I tried the same thing again 2 days later, and it still felt like I was having my hair pulled out, but it wasn't as bad as the 4 day growth.

I think I'll give it a few more tries, but I think in the end I'll stay with my Mach 3 Turbo.

I don't think that was SNL, I think that was Mad TV with the Mach 20... I laughed so hard I was crying, that was pretty hilarious.

whats the difference with all of these blades? I feel like one works the best because you know where the blade is cutting when you have a hair you need to get. Three blades for that = cut =P

I would, but I'm afraid of the severe radiation and plasma burns that seem likely to follow...
