Like these- we ( ues we both use these razors me & hubby too ) Usually we get the blue strip Gillette fusion 5 PowerRazor. This one has thicker comfort strip( 3x is what it look like). But the strips cause me terrible irritation..... So I usually take the razors after my hubby uses them enough to get rid of the strip , lol. - the blue one gives me bumps all over and it burns AS I shave- for some reasonthe bumos come up fast and ends with me bleeding ..so yeah.. . I have actually hated the the strips, but ... Having not found any other razor that works better for me that's been a fine compromise- they are still super sharp to me when its gone and he hates using them once it is gone so 👌 THESE are the SAME razor SETUP 5 +1 THE STRIP is green THICKER by like 3x + DOESNT CAUSE ME ANY ISSUES !! Really happy I got to try these for review or I never would have known;( Bigger just equalled longer time till I would get them in my head so we had not tried them. There is definitely something different in these green strips no bumps , burns or irritation AT ALL , WHILE using OR AFTER using these. Looks like No more Used razors for me 😅 This 6 PACJ small pack is definitely not the BEST deal FOR PRICE /RAZOR but is currently decent price relatively .. The big big packs are generally the way to go - price per razor wise. I can recommend THESE- and WOULD RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE that's had IRRITATION with the blue " comfort" strips ! Get YOUR hands on at least one of these and try it - I now know why he likes the strip! Dying to know what is different besides the color - while it could be the due in teh blue - I'm betting it something more. Read more
🟢 First impression I’ve been using this razor system for years, so ordering a fresh pack of cartridges felt more like routine maintenance than an experiment. I shave almost daily (sometimes every other day), and consistency matters more to me than novelty. These refills fit perfectly, no drama, no adjustments — exactly what I expect. ✨ What stands out The five-blade setup delivers a very smooth shave with minimal effort. Since I keep a short beard and don’t shave my entire face, one cartridge lasts me around two months, which is quite reasonable in real-world use. The glide is comfortable, especially when paired with the matching gel from the same brand. The blades feel sharp but controlled — not aggressive. I don’t get irritation or tugging, even with frequent shaving. The lubrication strip and microfins do their job quietly in the background. Nothing flashy — just reliable performance. I also appreciate the predictability. The shave feels the same week after week until the cartridge naturally starts to dull. No sudden drop-off. 🧩 Room for improvement As with most multi-blade cartridges, rinsing can take a little extra attention if you have thicker stubble. Five blades mean great closeness, but they do need a proper rinse to stay clean. It’s not a flaw, just part of the design. 🎯 Bottom line I’m a fairly conservative guy when it comes to everyday tools — if something works well, I stick with it. These cartridges have proven reliable, comfortable, and long-lasting in my routine. No surprises, no experimentation — just a smooth shave that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Read more
I got these through Vine and they’re the standard replacement blades for the Gillette ProGlide system. If you’ve used this style of razor before, you pretty much know what to expect — a very close shave with multiple blades that glide pretty smoothly across the skin. Each cartridge has five blades along with a lubrication strip that helps the razor move more comfortably while shaving. There’s also a precision trimmer blade on the back which is helpful for cleaning up edges around sideburns or under the nose where the main blade head can be a little bulky. One thing I like about these is how consistent they are. The blades feel sharp right away and stay usable for quite a while before needing to be replaced. According to the product information, each refill can last up to about 30 shaves depending on how often you shave. They’re also compatible with most of the Gillette five-blade handles in the Fusion and ProGlide line, so swapping them out is quick and easy. Great value given the exceptional quality of Gillette. Overall these are dependable razor refills if you already use the Gillette ProGlide system. They give a smooth, close shave and the cartridges last a decent amount of time before needing to be replaced. Read more
I've been locked in on Gillette Fusion5 flex and power for longer than I can remember. As a daily shaver that does face and head I'm good for about 7 days before swapping out for a new razor cartridge. If I push it longer, I start to experience irritation from the dulling blades and disappearing lubrication strip. The much larger lubrication strip is noticeable for me with my use case. The size comparison in the picture is very notable. I'm still on the fence with the change of comb. While it does clear the deck a bit better than the comb without holes (the older orange one), I'm not sure that it improves my results substantially. Regardless, I do like seeing small incremental improvements in products I like and use daily. As someone that started using replacement blade cartridges when they only had one blade, the progression of the replaceable blade cartridge has been interesting to watch. As always, 5 stars for 5 very sharp blades and making me look good every day. Read more
