How often should you change the Fusion5 Power cartridge?

Fusion5 Power blades have been designed to last for up to 20 comfortable shaves with microfins that stretch the skin for a close, comfortable shave with each stroke. You'll know when it's time to replace them when your shaves start to feel duller. To switch them out, simply click the easy-release orange and black button at the bottom of the cartridge. You can safely use any Fusion5, PRO or SkinGuard Sensitive cartridge with the Fusion5 Power handle.

How do you clean the Fusion5 Power blades?

Cleaning Fusion5 Power blades is simple. Just regularly rinse the blades gently in water after every few strokes. Note that the Fusion5's Snow-Plow Guard channels excess shaving prep away from the blades to help maintain lasting closeness, making it simple to clean as you shave. Rinse again after finishing your shave. Allow the water to flow from the back to the front of the cartridge to dislodge any hairs. However, be careful not to tap the blades against a sink or hard surface, as this can cause damage to the precisely dimensioned cartridge.

Blade stabiliser for a precise shave

The Fusion5 Power cartridge features a blade stabiliser, a unique feature that maintains an optimal distance between each of the blades. Thanks to this short and accurate distance, the extent of skin bulge variation between the blades is reduced, offering a low friction and comfortable shave. Each blade also rests on an ingenious spring-mounted base, allowing it to adapt to the skin's changing surface.

Wide Lubrastrip for a smooth glide

The Fusion5 Power cartridges feature a large Lubrastrip. This strip of pre-lubricated material is activated when wet, helping to support a smooth razor glide. The Lubrastrip also indicates when the blade cartridge should be replaced to ensure a consistently optimal shave. As the lubricants wear out, the strip fades from blue to white, showing it's time to replace your blades.

Low cutting force blades for less tug and pull

The Fusion5 Power razor features 5 low cutting force blades with Gillette's sharpest edges ever. They are thinner than a surgeon's scalpel so that hairs are cut with low resistance. The blades are also enhanced by a unique anti-friction coating, offering a clean, smooth shave with lasting closeness.

Precision blade for tricky areas

You'll find a useful precision blade at the back of the Fusion5 Power cartridge. This single blade allows you to easily reach tricky areas of the face, such as under the nose or at the corner of the mouth. This trimmer blade is also useful at styling precision lines: it's convenient for precisely shaping a beard and shaving along sideburns.

Why Choose Fusion5 Power Razor Blades?

A powerful cartridge for a close shave that lasts

The Fusion5 Power razor is the perfect solution for those seeking a very close shave with 5-blade technology and a good price: quality ratio. The powered handle delivers soothing micropulses and, because there are 5 blades in the cartridge, each hair can be cut up to 5 times in a single stroke. The blade stabiliser ensures the narrow distance between the 5 blades remains consistent throughout each shave stroke while a wide Lubrastrip enhances glide. As a result, the shaved skin is exceptionally soft, with long-lasting smoothness and up to 20 close shaves.
