The Gillette Labs gives a great shave but I recently went on holiday and took a Fusion with me.  I got as good a shave and it felt the same as the heated razor when I held it under the hot tap.  I don't know why the blades are more expensive because I can't think they are more expensive to produce. The nose slicer blade is common to both blades but the blunt indicator has been removed from the new one.  Just as well because I am capable of telling when a new blade is required and may have thrown out ones that are still sharp. 

I’ve had every Gillette razor model as they’ve produced over the Years.. and Nothing Compares to this bit of Kit! The heat off the blade is Instant and glides through hair with Easy! Leaving a Smooth , Fresh Clean Cut, with the feeling of a Hot blade that feels Therapeutic and Relaxing on face & Neck. I’m More than Pleased with this model, and tbh I think is my Last Stop with the Gillette’s Models, as I don’t think anything can be made better than this. I will Cherish this until the End of its days. Superb! 👌🏻 

Not as good as past gillette razors..not as close and more strokes needed for close and moustache under nostrils is impossible to get close...first blade I used the white soap strip fell out after couple swipes..heat bar is instant but I shave in shower so don't really notice it.

Brilliant shave and the warming bar makes for a superb experience. The razor is well constructed and looks good. Best shave and razor I have had.

Great razor gives the best shave I have had in years the heat function is a excellent idea and gives an amazing feeling shave highly recommend 

Very clean warm shave very impressed  Blades seem to be much sharper than the original lab blade 

Wow very very delighted and well pleased with the razor. Best by miles from other razors. 5***** and well recommended

I have to say l was a bit dubious about buying the heated razor as l thought of it perhaps being a bit of a gimmick. I certainly wasn’t disappointed with my purchase. I got the starter kit which was a bargain at £50 !!! I won’t go on but will say if you can afford to get the heated razor, then get one . I will also say it does look very classy standing upright on its magnetic base !!! Ok the blades are pricey but you get what you pay for, and l have to say they give a super shave and are very sharp 👌 

Excellent razor the best I had .

The item was well packaged, the razer is a nice quality. I love a hot experience and this does not disappoint, I was surprised by how you can feel the heat even using cold water as I tested. The blades are sharp and cut well, I love the clean up blade however becareful because you could cut your self with it if not careful under nose etc.. Alround a great shave and experience.
