How long will it last
« on: May 04, 2014, 07:03:33 AM »
Hi all

I am very new to shaving my head. I am using a Gillette fusion for shaving my head daily. It seems to work very very well. I shave my face with a DE razor. I am not ready to try using the DE on my head yet. Anyway how many head shaves do you all get out of one cartridge from the Gillette fusion.

Thanks guys

Roger


Have a great Day.

Roger, I have no experience with the Fusion ... but the probable answer is it your experience will vary from everyone else's. Also, you may want to try other brands of blades as you feel comfortable doing so.

I ultimately settled on a twin blade (Wilkinson Sword is the brand) and after some adjustment I get about five weeks of daily shaves until I choose to replace it. Probably could go a little bit longer but I'm not a fanatic.

For me, the first six months being sly were all about experimentation and finding what worked for me and what didn't. I think the same will be true for you.

I use a Schick Hydro 5 for both my head and my face. I usually get a week to ten days out of each cartridge.
