Gillette Fusion Razors are hand held shaving razors manufactured by Gillette. This is a fully manual razor, though a Gillette Fusion Power model is also offered that uses battery powered vibration to maximize razor glide and minimize friction. It was the world's first five blade razor when launched in 2006, and was also the first to add a blade to the back of the cartridge for beard and sideburn trimming.http://www.pg.com/product_card/prod_card_main_gillette_fusion.shtml
Features and Functions
Fusion razors have five blades on the front of the replaceable cartridge, along with a Lubrastrip that changes from blue to white as the blades wear out. Featured just below the blades is a flexible comfort guard that is blue on manual versions and orange on the Fusion Power. On the back of the cartridge is a single blade positioned at a 90 degree angle to the cartridge for beard, sideburn and nose hair trimming.
Where to Buy
The Gillette Fusion razor is available at a number of popular chains throughout the United States and other countries. Popular carriers include department stores like Wal-Mart as well as drug stores like Shoppers Drug Mart and Walgreens. Certain grocery stores may also carry the razor in their personal care department.
