Gillette Fusion5 Razor Blades (4 Pack)

How do you clean Fusion5 razor blades?

Due to their open structure, Fusion5 blades are easy to clean. Simply rinse the razor head with water, moving from the back of the cartridge to the front. The ideal way to clean your razor blades is to rinse them after every few strokes, not just at the end of your shave. Don't tap the razor on a sink or hard surface as this can damage the cartridge. Once you've finished shaving, you can shake the razor gently to remove water drops and let it dry naturally. If you have a razor stand or mini hanger, place your razor onto it so it's safely stored until your next shave.

How often should you change Fusion5 Razor blades?

Each Fusion5 cartridge provides up to 20 comfortable shaves. The Lubrastrip is a good indicator of when you need to change your razor head. The strip will slowly fade from blue to white with use, so once the colour has gone, you'll know it's time to replace the cartridge. You also need to change it when you feel shaving is no longer as comfortable as it was previously. To make sure you always have replacement blades to hand, you can get a Fusion5 value pack, containing a razor and 10 cartridges.

5 blades and Gillette's sharpest edges

Fusion5 razor cartridges have five blades for long-lasting closeness. The blades are made with Gillette's sharpest edges (blades 1 to 4) to help cut through beard hair with low resistance. During a single stroke, every hair can be cut up to 5 times, offering an efficient, close and long-lasting shave.

Accurate spacing between blades to help manage skin bulge

The blades are attached to the cartridge with a narrow distance between them. As the blades are so close to one another, there is little space for the skin to bulge through, so the surface remains as smooth as possible. As a result, the razor moves over the skin with very little friction.

A precision finishing blade for hard-to-reach areas

Fusion5 razor cartridges have an intuitively angled blade on the back that makes it easier to access trickier sections of your face. This feature lets you deal easily with harder-to-reach areas, such as under your nose and around the corners of your mouth. It also allows for more precision when styling a beard, moustache or sideburns.

A lubrication strip that minimises irritation

Fusion5 razor blade cartridges feature Gillette's signature Lubrastrip. Designed to deliver lubrication once it comes into contact with water, this iconic blue strip smooths the glide of the blades over the skin, helping to reduce the risk of cuts, nicks and irritation.

Why Choose Fusion5 Razor Blades?

A high precision razor with 5-blade shaving technology

With their unique combination of features, the Fusion5 Razor blades are designed for men looking for an efficient shave with a long-lasting result and 5-blade closeness at an affordable price. In order to get the best out of your Fusion5 cartridges, you can apply Fusion5 Ultra Sensitive Shave Gel, which helps protect your skin for a clean, smooth shave. Fusion5 cartridges can also be used with PRO or SkinGuard handles because there is cross-compatibility between these 3 families.

How do I know when my Gillette Fusion5 Razor Blades need cartridge changing?

Like every razor blade, the Gillette Fusion5 razor blade refills will not last forever. Typically, you will sense when they need to be changed because the quality of each cut will dull a little. If you inspect the five blades carefully and notice any nicks that have formed in them, then it is also time to swap your razor refill for a new one. Continuing to shave with a dull or nicked razor blade may cause irritation and even minor cuts.

How often do I need to change my Gillette Fusion5 razor blades?

Gillette Fusion5 razor blades are suited to use by men for up to 20 shaves. The frequency with which you should change your razor refills will depend on exactly how you use your razor blade for shaving. Given each of the Fusion5 razor blade refills comes with five blades, the work they do will be shared, thereby allowing you to enjoy longer-lasting results. If you look after your men's razor blade properly by allowing it to dry on a stand rather than on the side of your basin, for example, then this can help to improve its longevity. Other Gillette Fusion5 shaving accessories are available that will help, too, such as our travel case.

Can I use Gillette Fusion5 Razor Blades with any other Gillette razor line?

The entire Gillette Fusion5 range has been designed to work together. That being said, the handle will fit with many of Gillette's five-bladed razors for men. This includes the ProGlide range. Consequently, if you have spare Fusion5 razor refills that you would like to try out on another handle, then you have a number of available options.

What's the difference between Fusion5 and ProGlide Blades?

Gillette Fusion5 razor blade refills are just the same as the ones supplied in our bundles and razor handles. Although both the ProGlide and Fusion5 razor blades have five blades each and an enhanced Lubrastrip, Fusion5 razor refills do not have lubrication before and after the blades. Applying a shaving gel or foam from the Gillette range will help to ensure your face is properly lubricated as you shave. That said, Gillette Fusion5 blades offer an extra smooth finish because of the added lubrication they already possess. Gillette Fusion5 razor cartridges contain features such as its own precision trimmer, ideal for reaching those tricky areas around your nose and ears, and a microcomb to help guide hairs into the blades. Note that all ProGlide blades benefit from ultra-sharp PROBLADESTM and a blade triple stabilizer, a system that helps to maintain the optimal distance between each of the five razor blades as you shave.
