Power Shaving With Gillette Fusion Power

Gillette fusion power, the new battery operated shaving razor from Gillette, is one of the advanced models in Gillette razors. It is a low cost power razor unveiled by Gillette in recent times. Gillette fusion series have few other razor models like fusion phenom and fusion chrome etc. However, this one is a power packed razor with plenty of new features. While fusion chrome is a luxury brand that costs about 150 bucks, fusion power is pretty affordable and it costs less than US$10. People who want to try their hand in “power razors” can make fusion power as their first choice.

Gillette fusion power features a 5-blade razor cartridge with PowerGlide technology, which enables comfortable shaving. All the 5 Gillette blades are closely placed and this forms the shaving surface. Fusion power has a precision trimmer, which is unique for all Gillette fusion series. This precision trimmer can be used to shape facial hairs like sideburns, moustaches, and nose hairs. Another unique feature of all Gillette fusion series is the front and back cartridges. All the 5 blades are placed in the front cartridge, while the precision trimmer is placed on the back side of the cartridge. The precision trimmer can be used by turning over the razor.

Fusion power also features a stylish design with battery operated shaving comfort. The battery is used to produce micro pulses, which can produce a smooth shaving effect. A microchip located in the razor handle is used to deliver consistent power. Another amazing feature of Gillette fusion power is that the battery turns off automatically after 8 minutes. This is to prevent power loss through accidental activation. The new ‘Flexible Comfort Guard’ feature in Gillette fusion power enables its users to get a close shave. Most of these amazing features are unique to Gillette fusion power.

In shaving razors, the design of its handle plays a major role in determining the style quotient. Gillette fusion power has a stylish handle and it provides a fine grip while shaving. The handle of Gillette fusion power is slightly wider when compared to Gillette fusion phenom, which is a manual razor. The power indicator is located at the back side of the handle. Blades, placed on fusion power, are coated with “thin uniform telomer” and it offers one of the finest shaving experiences. In addition, fusion power is also superior in comfort, glide, and smoothness over its prior designs.

Gillette fusion phenom is a non-battery operated shaving razor, which contains most of the features of fusion power. Fusion phenom is a manual razor with no micro pulses. Hence, fusion power provides a much smoother shave than fusion phenom by producing gentle vibrations. Other features like precision trimmer, 5-blade technology, and flexible comfort guard are also contained in fusion phenom. Gillette M3Power, a power razor with 3 Gillette blades, is one of the previous designs of Gillette. Fusion power is much superior to M3Power in terms of performance, design, and features. M3Power lacks many of fusion power’s features including precision trimmer, microchip, auto turn-off feature, and low battery indicator.

Gillette fusion power razor is less than US$10 and its blade cartridges are readily replaceable. New Gillette razor blade cartridges cost around US$28 for a set of 8 blades. Gillette’s earlier model fusion phenom, which is non-powered, costs around US$8. Though there is not much difference between Gillette blade cartridges of fusion phenom and fusion power, blades for both these sets are available individually.
