Gillette Fusion ProGlide Manual Razor

The Fusion ProGlide--Gillette’s most comfortable shave

Technological innovation makes Gillette Fusion ProGlide better than Gillette Fusion. The razor has been reengineered and redesigned to create Gillette's most comfortable shave. Gillette Fusion ProGlide has thinner, finer blades*, with a low resistance coating. Plus the new blade stabiliser maintains optimal blade spacing for comfort and allows the blades to adjust to the contours of your face. The redesigned ergonomic ribbed handle features added grips and channels away water for better control in wet conditions.

Other improved features include an enhanced Lubrastrip which is now larger than Fusion, making for a smooth stroke. Its improved formula, with mineral oil and lubricating polymers, enables the razor to glide smoothly over your skin. Meanwhile the Snowplough comfort guard channels away excess shave prep to help maintain blade contact for a close, comfortable shave and the Snowplough comfort guard channels away excess shave prep to help maintain blade contact for a close, comfortable shave.

Together, these technologies combine to create Gillette's most comfortable shave.

Cartridge life

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 ProGlide's reformulated Lubrastrip will provide you with a visual cue--it fades to white when optimal shave conditions have been reduced. When this happens, you may want to change your cartridge for a more comfortable shave.

Finer blades for an improved shave

Gillette Fusion ProGlide has thinner finer blades* than those of Fusion for less tug and pull** and an effortless glide through the hair.

Redesigned precision trimmer

The razor features an enhanced blade--helping you deal with those tricky areas that are hard to shave. It also features a comb guard to better align longer hairs and new rinse-through slots for easier cleaning.

The perfect fit

The Gillette Fusion ProGlide cartridge fits on any Gillette Fusion, Fusion ProGlide or Fusion ProGlide Power handle.

No more razor burn

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. 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.

Avoid sharing razors with your girlfriend or wife

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.

Shaving direction

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.

Leave the upper lip until last

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 or shaving cream and allow this area to soak up as much lather as possible. When shaving, don't apply too much pressure. Gillette Fusion ProGlide's precision trimmer is really useful when shaving under the nose.

Did you know?

Shaving does not 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 colour. This testing has proven that shaving does not affect hair growth, colour 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 re-grow completely, it will return to its former state.

Disposable vs. refillable razors

The entire shaving razor is discarded when you are through with a disposable razor. With a refillable razor, only the blade cartridge is replaced. Refillable razors like Gillette Fusion ProGlide and Gillette Fusion incorporate more advanced blade technology and ergonomics vs. most disposables for great control and a close comfortable shave.
