New! Gillette Fusion Proglide. Gillette's best shave, even if you
shave every day. Fusion ProGlide's breakthrough blade technology helps
deliver Gillette's most comfortable shave ever in manual and battery
powered. Its thinner, finer blades provide significantly less tug and
pull and effortless glide.
It is Gillette's most advanced Shaving System.
Not only is the new Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide Power™ our most
comfortable shave, it also turns shaving into gliding. Re-engineered to
reduce annoying tug and pull, the Fusion ProGlide's razor blades are
thinner than Fusion blades and feature an advanced, low-resistance
coating to cut through hair with an effortless glide.
The improved blade stabilizer helps maintain precise razor blade
spacing for optimal comfort, and the redesigned handle now has larger,
more ergonomic grips for better control. With more lubricants and a
touch of mineral oil, the enhanced Lubrastrip™ is now larger. And the
redesigned precision trimmer now features an improved razor blade,
anti-clogging rinse slots and a streamlined comfort guard that channels
away excess shave prep.
Plus, the MicroComb, found exclusively on the Gillette Fusion
ProGlide Power, helps guide hair to the blade.
- Re-engineered Low Cutting Force Blades with thinner, finer edges and
our advanced low-resistance coating, enabling the blades to cut
effortlessly through hair with less tug and pull.
- A Blade Stabilizer to maintain optimal blade spacing for
comfort, while allowing the blades to adjust to the contours of a man's
face.
- A streamlined Snowplow Comfort Guard which channels excess
shave prep to help maintain optimal blade contact, stretching the skin
for a close, comfortable shave.
- An Enhanced Lubrastrip™, larger than before, infused with
mineral oil and lubricating polymers, enabling the razor to move
smoothly over skin even on repeat strokes.
- An improved Precision Trimmer, including an enhanced blade, a
comb guard to better align long hairs and new rinse-through slots.
- A Redesigned Handle with bigger, more ergonomic grips for
better control, enhanced weight and balancing and improved transition

battery, so you always have power when you need it.

case of accidental activation, and protects the battery during travel.
What makes Gillette Fusion® ProGlide Power™ better than Gillette®
Fusion® Power?
What makes Fusion ProGlide Power better than Fusion Power is
technological innovation. The razor has been reengineered and redesigned
to create Gillette's Most Comfortable Shave.
Gillette Fusion
ProGlide Power shares the same core technology as Gillette Fusion
ProGlide: thinner, finer blades, a low resistance coating and the
redesigned Precision Trimmer Blade. - The redesigned handle now has
larger, more ergonomic grips for better control.
How does the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power™ handle compare with
the Gillette® Fusion® Power handle?
The Fusion ProGlide Power
now has ergonomic side grips for better handling.
What is the microchip and how does it work?
A
battery-powered razor delivers an optimal shave when the voltage and
frequency remain consistent shave after shave. Over the lifetime of the
battery, the voltage can weaken, reducing frequency and therefore
performance. The microchip maintains constant voltage and frequency
over the lifetime of the battery, delivering consistent product
performance every time you shave.
How does the Low-Battery Indicator Light work?
When a
battery reaches a certain level, the oscillation frequency declines and
the system is no longer capable of delivering the optimal shave. The
microchip inside Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power™ senses when the battery
is approaching this level. When this happens, the Low-Battery Indicator
Light begins to flash, signaling that it's time to change the AAA
battery.
What is the Automatic Shut-Off feature?
The Automatic
Shut-Off feature turns the razor off after roughly 8 minutes of
continuous operation. This feature protects the battery if the razor is
accidentally activated, especially when traveling.
How does movement of the razor give men a better shave?
With
battery-powered razors, Gillette opened a new chapter in wet shaving.
The addition of oscillation to Gillette wet shaving systems delivers
soothing micropulses with comfort so incredible; you'll barely feel the
blades. Fusion ProGlide Power™ is Gillette's most comfortable shave.
For best results, should the power be turned on or off when using
the Precision Trimmer Blade?
The Precision Trimmer Blade can be
used with the power turned on or off. Preference varies from person to
person. Using the Precision Trimmer Blade with or without power is an
individual choice.
What type of battery does Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power™ use?
How long does it last?
Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power utilizes a
AAA battery. With the Low-Battery Indicator Light, Gillette Fusion
ProGlide Power will let you know when it's time to change the battery.
Assuming average shaving, the battery should last approximately 3-6
months.
Is it safe to shave with Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power™ in the
shower?
Yes. Gillette Fusion Power is watertight and totally
safe to use in wet environments.
Can I get electrocuted if Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power™ is
submerged in water?
No. Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power is safe
to use in water.
How long will the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power™ cartridge last?
How
long a razor 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 Power's reformulated Indicator® lubricating strip 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.
What are thinner, finer blades and how will they improve my
shave?
Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power™ razor has 5 blades spaced
closer together, forming an advanced shaving surface. The razor blades
are thinner than those of Fusion-a design that allows the blades to be
even more flexible.
How was the Precision Trimmer redesigned?
The blade was
improved and anti-clogging rinse slots were added.
What is the Streamlined Comfort Guard with channels? What are the
benefits of the Streamlined Comfort Guard?
Gillette Fusion
ProGlide Power™ features a new Streamlined Comfort Guard. The soft,
flexible material surrounds the microfins, creating an outer edge that
wraps around the sides of the cartridge and channels that clear away
excess shave prep. This Streamlined 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 lubrication strip?
Yes.
It now contains more lubricants and a touch of mineral oil.
Will the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power™ cartridge fit any other
razors on the market?
The Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power
cartridge features a new razor blade that fits on any Gillette Fusion,
Fusion ProGlide or Fusion ProGlide Power handle.
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 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 men?s 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 re-grow 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 Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ and
Gillette Fusion incorporate more advanced blade technology and
ergonomics vs. most disposables for great control and a close
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® ProGlide™. But the number of blades alone does not ensure a
superior shave. The 5-blade shaving surface of Fusion ProGlide Power™
features progressive blade alignment, patented blade coating process and
a flexible comfort guard which collectively provide Gillette's best
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® ProGlide's™ Precision
Trimmer is really useful when shaving under the nose.
Now consumers can experience incredible comfort, even if they
shave every day.
