More blades?????? 
2007-10-31
While the number of blades increases, I am unsure if the shave is any better since the dual blade design.... I still get a shadow by midday (my stubble is very light compared to some!). The best is still the man with the cut-throat... but who can trust a man wielding a cut-throat??
I will say that with the extra blades I s1eem to have lower frequency of shaving cuts and the process is less arduous - effectivity of the shave process is slightly increased...
What does surprise me is that the cost of the blades is not reducing, are we paying for technology with no return Mr Gillette??????????

READ THIS REVIEW AND AVOID A COSTLY MISTAKE
- Save your money and keep your Mach 3
- Replacement blades don't last as long as the one that comes with the razor, this is a pervasive complaint and something I've also determined when I buy a new razor handle and blade when traveling versus the replacement blades.
- The blade is so fat, you can't use it under the nose for the mustache, this is why it comes with the "single precision blade" cause their focus group told them the same thing, instead of improving it they just gave you a single blade razor on your five blade overpriced replacement.
- Blades are too close to clean, you'll waste a gallon of water just trying to free cut hair from between the blades, THE MORE WATER YOU RUN THE BLADE UNDER THE QUICKER YOU OXIDIZE THE CUTTING SURFACE AND RUIN THE BLADE / SO GO BUY MORE REPLACEMENTS.
- Another reviewer said it and it is true, you can interchange the Power and Manual versions so if you insist on using this razor, you can buy THE MANUAL VERSION replacement for the Fusion Power handle.
- Save your money, and keep your Mach 3 !!!!
Great product although so pricey

I love these razors/blades, not quite sure why the women version isn't nearly as good. I buy these for myself and my husband. I hate the price, but I have never had better results except waxing!
Poor quality of blades 
2007-06-27
I have been using this razor for about 3 months now. First off, the single blade is absolutely useless, it cuts nothing, it's just a gimmick. This however isnt that bad of an issue because in 90% of the replacement blades, I have gone to change the blade to find all this goop (presumably glue) all over the blade, with the single blade missing! Factor this in with the previously mentioned problems, as well as the fact that the green lubricant or whatever it is simply rinses right off of the blade head under the faucet, and it becomes pretty clear Gillette is selling this product based on gimmickry rather than quality. I feel I have given this product ample time to make sure the problems werent a fluke, but after going through literally 20 or so replacement blades, I think it's time to call a spade a spade. I shave my head and my face both, and have more frequent problems with nicks and cuts than other razors, and even with a fresh blade, many times it feels as though I'm shaving my face/head with a sharp rock. needless to say this will be the last gillette product I purchase.

These blades shave closer and smother than any blade I have ever used.The blades are a bit expensive,but we are talking about running blades across the face. They are worth the extra $.
This Female loves it! 2008-07-15
Every review I have read regarding the Gillette Fusion razor and blades has been from a male. I am a female and love this razor for my legs and underarms! I received mine in the mail as a promotion about a year ago, and am still on the original blade! I often use my Remington electric shaver, but when I want a really smooth, close shave that lasts almost a week, I use my Gillette Fusion. So, while I've had it a year, I've probably used it a couple dozen times and the blade is just now starting to dull. I agree with others that the trimmer on the reverse side is a gimmick, especially for a female who doesn't shave sideburns or nose hair. My only complaint, like many other users of the Gillette Fusion, is the cost of replacement cartridges. Thankfully, one or two cartridges will last me a very long time!
more than just hype 2008-05-20
yes, there has been deafening hype and marketing surrounding the fusion, but guess what? the damn thing is pretty amazing. it really does provide a crazy close shave with little to no irritation. yes, the blades are pricey, but hey, it's your face! you could keep hacking away with cheap Bic razors, but do you really hate your face that much?
P.S. I am also a head shaver, and this thing is very well adapted to the scalp.
Hmm...so it wasn't just a gimmick 2008-01-28
I received these cartridges by mistake instead of the Mach3's ordered. The idea of 5 blades that are battery operated to vibrate in an orange handle seemed like something out of a Dr. Seuss book. Very gimmicky and overkill and bordering on kitsch. But rather than going through the hassle of returning them I popped in the battery after rolling my eyes at this corporate invented need and gave it a try. As much as I wanted to hate it, I found it to be a definite notch up the shaving food chain. The blades are very sharp and the vibration somehow seems to allow the head to glide more smoothly and evenly over the beard. The shave and closeness were the best I've ever experienced. Even the single blade on the opposing edge for maneuvering in tight crevices like under the nose worked perfectly. All this comes with a cost. When I surfed over to see what the cartridges actually cost I was horrified. Soon they'll need to be locked in a glass container at the grocery store with an armed guard in front of the display. Second, not sure if it's planned obsolescence engineered into the cartridges, but the blades seem to last only a few shaves, making them even more costly. The blades being mounted so close to each other also make them hard to rinse and they clog easily. Buying in larger quantities lowers the cost per unit somewhat. Personally, I'm hoping beards come back into style to create some downward pricing pressure.
Best razor ever 2008-01-08
I purchased the 8 Pack of Gillette Fusion Razor Blades and they are great. This razor is the best one I ever used. You don't have to go over the same spot twice, like you do with other brands.
I couldn't believe how quick my shipment arrived..great job Amazon.Com.
