FAQs
How many shaves can I expect from one cartridge?
Each Fusion5 ProGlide cartridge is designed to provide up to 30 shaves, based on an average of three shaves per week.
Which Gillette handles are compatible with these blades?
These blades fit all Gillette ProGlide and Fusion5 razors. They are not compatible with GilletteLabs models.
How do I attach a new blade cartridge?
Align the new cartridge with the front of the handle and push until it clicks into place. Ensure it is securely attached before use.
Can I use these blades for sensitive skin?
The blades feature enhanced lubrication and a five-blade system designed to minimize irritation, making them suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin, when used with proper shaving technique.
How should I clean the razor blades?
Rinse the blades thoroughly under running water after each use. Pat dry gently or allow to air dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid wiping the blades on a towel, as this can damage the lubrication strip.
What is the purpose of the precision trimmer?
The precision trimmer on the back of the cartridge is designed for precise edging and styling of facial hair, such as sideburns, goatees, and mustaches, especially in hard-to-reach areas.
Troubleshooting
Blade pulls or nicks skin.
Ensure the blade cartridge is properly attached and sharp. Rinse the blade frequently during shaving. Consider using a pre-shave oil or cream to soften hair and improve glide. If the issue persists, replace the blade cartridge.
Shaving cream/hair clogs the blades.
Rinse the blade thoroughly under hot running water after each stroke. Ensure you are using ample shaving cream or gel. If clogging is frequent, consider a blade with wider spacing if available or replace the cartridge.
Trimmer is not effective.
Ensure you are using the back of the cartridge correctly. For best results, shave in the direction of hair growth with the main blades, then turn the handle to use the trimmer for edging and detail work.
