OK Guys... I know what you've been thinking. When you're out at Target or WalMart, you've no doubt seen the end-cap displays for the new Gillette Fusion razor. You've stared at them and thought, "Is it really a better razor? Is it worth it?"
Alas, curiousity finally caused me to buy one. I was leary, because a year or two ago I bought a Gillette Mach 3 MPower, which was a joke. It didn't shave as well as the Mach 3 Turbo and the blades are considerably more expensive. I ended up going back to the old razor.
I was not dissapointed by the Fusion. It's about the same size as the Mach 3 Turbo, but it has five blades instead of three. It's less uncomfortable to shave with, and seems to give a closer shave. The comfort guard on the front of the razor is larger and you can actually tell that it's doing something. In addition, the little Aloe strip thing doesn't wear out after 4 shavings. Finally, if you turn the razor over, there is a single blade on the back side that makes trimming your sideburns and under your nose really easy. Overall, I really like it so far.

So, let me get this straight... "fusion" ... now it has 5 blades... is that relaly necessary? When they went from one to two, we all thought, "WOW! TWO blades, that must be TWICE as good." Was it really? Then, they throw in ANOTHER blade, making it THREE blades! Does this make it one third better than the twice as good? Do women swoon that much more for the extra blade worth of smoothness? Imagine now, the "Gillete War Room" deep in the heart of Gillete Razor Corp. A dimly lit conference room with a room length table polished to a glassy finish reflecting the suits being worn by the middle aged men gathered at one end of the massive table. All of them, silently delving into themselves, trying to come up with the next great razor idea... the silent tention is palpable... the clock ticks on the wall, every second that passes declaring thir failure to create, failure to innovate... but wait... a spark of life begins to shine in the eyes of the man to the left... "What if..." he begins with trepidation, breaking the silence like a like a two ton truck crashing into a hotdog stand... "what if we went with..." he looks around the room seeking approval as though his entire career hinges on this statement, this idea that has been birthed in his mind at this table at this time; so fragile that he seems to fear that the mere mention of it may obliterate it from this world... "FIVE razors?! We could skip right over FOUR and go straight to FIVE!" The rest of the group stares at him in silent disbelief - yes, and why not go with five blades - five blades would be fabulous! - we would outdo that Shick Quattro by a WHOLE BLADE - Yes! Five it MUST BE!...
