Gillette Fusion Power
« on: June 27, 2011, 03:53:14 PM »
For those that use the Gillette Fusion Power - how long does one cartridge last you?

I was shaving my head today and by the end, the blue strip that signifies that the blade is dull was completely white. This was the FIRST time shaving with that blade.



Does the method listed in the Youtube video actually work? The creator claims to have kept his blade sharp by running it across jeans.

I get about 4 shaves with each  fusion cartridge.I get 12 to 14 shaves with Mach 3.I like how the fusion shaves but the Mach 3 shaves just as close and lasts longer.At least it does for me.

I heard that the Strip trick is a marketing ploy to push more shavers into the razor aisles more often. I have tried the bluejean method. This method seems to work for me

I have been using the blue Jean method of sharpening my razor since I saw the u tube video and I have to say my razor blade is as sharp as it was on day 1.I am actually getting closer shaves since i started doing it.
