The Gillette Fusion5 blades are engineered to provide a superior shaving experience. The 5-blade system distributes pressure evenly across your skin, which helps to reduce tug and pull, making each stroke more comfortable. When you shave, the anti-friction technology allows the blades to glide smoothly, minimizing redness and irritation, especially important for those with sensitive skin.
The integrated lubricating strip activates upon contact with water, creating a protective layer that helps the razor move effortlessly over your contours. This results in a cleaner, more efficient pass, reducing the need for multiple strokes.
For areas requiring extra attention, like sideburns, under the nose, or shaping your beard line, the precision trimmer blade on the back of the cartridge is invaluable. Simply flip the razor over and use this single blade for accurate detailing. For best results:
Prepare your skin: Always shave after or during a warm shower to soften hair. Apply a good quality shave gel or foam to hydrate hairs and protect your skin.
Shave with the grain: For maximum comfort, start by shaving in the direction your hair grows. If a closer shave is desired, a second pass against the grain can be done carefully.
Use light, even strokes: Let the blades do the work. Avoid pressing too hard.
Rinse frequently: Rinse the blade head under running water after every few strokes to prevent hair and cream buildup, maintaining optimal cutting performance.
Remove the old cartridge: Press the release button on your Gillette Fusion5 razor handle to detach the used blade cartridge.
Attach the new cartridge: Align the new Gillette Fusion5 blade refill with the connector on your razor handle. Push the handle firmly until you hear a click, indicating it's securely attached. Ensure it's fully seated before use.
These Gillette Fusion5 razor blade refills are specifically designed for use with Gillette Fusion5 razor handles. They are not compatible with Gillette Mach3, Sensor, or other non-Fusion series handles.
Rinse thoroughly: After each shave, rinse the blades thoroughly under running water. Do not tap the razor against the sink, as this can damage the precision-engineered blades.
Shake off excess water: Gently shake off any excess water from the blades. Do not wipe the blades, as this can dull them and remove the lubricating strip.
Store properly: Store your razor in an upright position in a dry area to allow the blades to air dry. This helps prolong blade life and maintain hygiene.
Replace regularly: For optimal performance and to prevent irritation, replace your blade cartridge when you notice dullness, pulling, or discomfort, typically after 5-10 shaves depending on individual usage and hair type. A pack of 4 blades provides multiple replacements.
