Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Gillette Fusion® better than MACH3®?
Gillette Fusion has breakthrough technology on the front and the back of the cartridge:

• The front has 5 blades spaced closer together to form an advanced shaving surface. This distributes the shaving force across the blades to help reduce pressure with more comfort and less irritation than MACH3®.
• The back has a truly innovative Precision Trimmer – a single blade built into the back of the cartridge. It allows you to easily trim sideburns, shave under your nose, or shape facial hair.

Gillette Fusion also features:

• A flexible Comfort Guard with 15 microfins to follow the contours of your face for a comfortably close shave.
• An Enhanced Indicator Lubrastrip that fades to white when you may no longer be getting an optimal shave.
• An improved forward pivot and ergonomically designed handle.
• Many other Gillette® technologies such as spring-mounted blades and progressive blade geometry. These technologies combine to create Gillette’s most comfortable manual shave.

Does Gillette Fusion share the same forward pivot as MACH3?
Gillette Fusion features a new forward pivot vs. MACH3. The restoring force of the cartridge has been improved, allowing the cartridge to respond more quickly-which helps it to better follow the contours of your face.

How long will the Gillette Fusion cartridge last? Will it last longer than MACH3?
How long a cartridge lasts varies from person to person, as it is dependent on many variables such as beard toughness and thickness, beard preparation, shaving habits, and skin sensitivity. The Gillette Fusion’s Enhanced Indicator Lubrastrip will provide you with a visual cue–it fades to white when optimal shave conditions have been reduced. In general, you should change the cartridge when it seems dull or you experience razor drag.

What is the 5-Blade Shaving Surface and how will it improve my shave?
Gillette Fusion has 5 blades spaced closer together, forming an advanced shaving surface. The blades are spaced 30% closer than those of MACH3-a design that distributes the shaving force across the blades to help reduce pressure, with less irritation and more comfort than MACH3.

In addition to more comfort than MACH3, the 5-Blade Shaving Surface also engages more hair more times with successive cutting action, resulting in a close shave.

Does spacing the 5 blades closer together affect rinsability?
No, Fusion features a rinse through technology that is equal to or better than that of MACH3.

What role does the Precision Trimmer play? How is it used?
The Precision Trimmer is a single blade built into the back of the cartridge. To use the trimmer, turn the razor over and place your finger on the elastomer finger pad on the front of the razor handle. Use the Precision Trimmer Blade to easily shave tricky places like sideburns, under your nose and around facial hair.

What is the Flexible Comfort Guard? What are the benefits of the Flexible Comfort Guard?
Gillette Fusion features a new Flexible Comfort Guard. The soft, flexible material surrounds the microfins, creating an outer edge that wraps around the sides of the cartridge. This new Flexible Comfort Guard follows the contours of your face to help the shaving surface of the razor comfortably shave close.

Have there been any enhancements to the Indicator Lubricating strip?
Yes. Shave by shave, the entire Indicator Lubrastrip-and not just one stripe-gradually fades to white when you’re no longer getting an optimal shave.

Will the Gillette Fusion cartridge fit any other razors on the market?
The Gillette Fusion cartridge features a new blade that only fits on a Gillette Fusion or Gillette Fusion Power handle.

Shaving FAQ

Is it better to use hot, cold, or warm water to shave?
Warm water is best for hydrating beard hair. Soaking in warm water softens hair and causes it to expand, making it 70% easier to cut.

What is the difference between shaving with shave gel and with soap and water?
Shave gel tends to be less drying than ordinary soap and water and won’t clog your razor the way soap can. Shave gels help retain skin moisture, making hairs easier to cut. Gillette Fusion HydraGel is available in several varieties, with special ingredients for different skin types.

What is the best way to avoid razor burn?
If the skin is not properly prepared before shaving or if the blade on your razor is dull, you are more likely to end up with razor burn. Make sure to hydrate hair in warm water for up to three minutes and apply plenty of shave gel. Also, be sure to change the blade on your razor at the first sign of dullness or discomfort.

Is it okay to let my girlfriend or wife borrow my razor?
For both hygiene and performance, it’s not a good idea to share your razor with your partner. Women have a much larger area to shave and you may find that after only a few shaves, your blade has dulled considerably, increasing the likelihood of nicks and cuts. Tell her to try a razor specifically designed for the way a woman shaves, such as Gillette Venus Embrace.

Does shaving make your hair grow back thicker?
Scientists at Gillette have conducted extensive testing on the effects shaving has on both male and female hair growth, texture, and color. This testing has proven that shaving does not affect hair growth, color or texture. Shaving does, however, alter the tip shape of the regrown hair, which may initially change the way hair feels as it grows back. But if hair is left to regrow completely, it will return to its former state.

In what direction should I shave to achieve the best shave?
Men’s facial hair tends to grow in different directions. Start by shaving with light, gentle strokes with the grain. Then, if necessary, go against the grain for an even closer shave.

What is the difference between disposable and refillable razors?
The entire razor is discarded when you are through with a disposable razor. With a refillable razor, only the blade cartridge is replaced. Refillable razors like MACH3 and Gillette Fusion incorporate more advanced blade technology and ergonomics vs. most disposables for greater control and a closer, more comfortable shave.

What is the difference between a single, double, triple and 5 blade razor? Which is best?
Gillette’s research has demonstrated that single blade technology, which has been applied since 1901, is demonstrably inferior to twin blade shaving systems such as SensorExcel®, and even more so to 5-blade systems such as Gillette Fusion. But the number of blades alone does not ensure a superior shave. The 5-Blade Shaving Surface of Fusion features progressive-blade alignment and a flexible comfort guard which collectively provide Gillette’s best manual shave.

How do I avoid nicks and cuts, particularly above my upper lip?
The area above the upper lip is tricky for many men. To help avoid nicks and cuts, always leave it for last. Apply plenty of shave gel and allow this area to soak up as much lather as possible. When shaving, don’t apply too much pressure. Gillette Fusion’s Precision Trimmer is really useful when shaving under the nose.
