Gillette Fusion5 Refills Proglide Blades Reviews Summary

Blade Quality and Performance

Pros:

• "These blades provide a nice smooth finish after a single swipe of the blade."
• "These last long and this pack size goes a long way too. Haven’t had to order in a few months."
• "These razors are gentle on the skin and shave very close."
• "Can last a long time. These are so safe, you can even 'dry shave' with them."
• "I love my Men's Gillette razor, it works AMAZING and buying the blades in bulk like this is fantastic."
• "these are by far my favorite razors! they last a long time and cut through thick hair, my facial hair grows fast and thick and these fusion5 blades cut through it and don't dull out quickly like other brands."
• "This package of blades worked very well for me. I use 1 blade per month so it’s a year’s supply of razor blades."

Cons:

• "Seems like these Aloe strips wear very fast compared to previous blades bought at the store!"
• "These blades are so dull, that I have to use 2 blades if I haven't shaved in a few days."
• "They don’t last as long as they should and you don’t get enough for the amount of money we pay."
• "These blades work well for several days at the beginning and then become rather prone to causing missed spots and irritations."
• "These blades are not as sharp and don't cut as close as the pro-glide."
• "Quality of the blades is terrible. I've been using fusion blades for as long as I can remotely. This is the first I've bought online. Terrible!"
• "These blades start to get dull after about 3 or 4 shaves."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Worth buying like this from amazon, best bang for your buck."
• "I switched to Gillette over a year ago, and now I do not plan to ever go elsewhere."
• "I have tried knock-off versions of these blades which were not good at all. Thanks to this deal good blades are cheaper than the knockoffs at the local store."
• "It's great that these came in cardboard packaging instead of those awful plastic packages which you get at retail stores."
• "You can get a little better price at Costco but sometimes they’re out so when that happens I buy them from Amazon."
• "For the past few years I’ve found this purchase to be convenient and more affordable than any local store."
• "Glad Amazon had these for a great price for Black Friday!"

Cons:

• "These are great and my go to razor my only reason for 3 stars is they cost entirely too much for what they are the markup is Huge."
• "Great so is mach 3. But the price is a joke. So overpriced."
• "I paid $26 for this in 2019, it is now over $40."
• "The Fusion 5 system is, in my humble opinion, the best shaving system available. I've used it for many years while watching the price for a blade cartridge going up, up and UP! The price has become ridiculous."
• "Given the price they charge they're nothing special. Only the two premium blades in the package seem to last more than five or six shaves while retaining sharpness."
• "It’s insane how much we have to pay for razor blades nowadays."
• "The cost is way too expensive. You can buy them for a lot less at the grocery store."

Product Authenticity

Pros:

• "I'm bothered about this batch of 'Gillette Fusion 5 Razors' not sure if they're real or fake, I shave my head and face every day and get 4-8 weeks out of them, this batch, 4-5 shaves and they're dull."
• "These Gillette refills last quite a bit longer than other blades I have used in the past."
• "These are genuine Gillette razor replacements. My husband is happy with the close comfortable shave and the longevity as compared to other blades I have purchased for him."
• "They’re very comfortable and you’ll get a clean shave on your legs and underarms every time."
• "These genuine Gillette blades might be a lot more expensive, but they work like a charm."
• "They give a smooth, close shave without nicks."
• "These blade replacements have become the STANDARD for close shaves and comfort with their lubrication strip."

Cons:

• "Whether these are fake Gillette blades or the result of a quality control problem I can’t say for sure but they are not the razor blade I paid for."
• "Not as nice as previous Gillette blades I have previously order from Amazon."
• "Buyer beware. These blade have to be counterfeit!"
• "The razors with orange skin protector strip gives a bad shave from the first shave."
• "Sharpness of these blades is not satisfactory. Only maximum TWO shaves could be done with one blade."
• "Box Doesn’t have the logo, so I wonder if they’re real."
• "Compared with a genuine package of Gillette blades these packs are a copy with noticeable differences on the razors."

Packaging and Delivery

Pros:

• "Blades can be pricey and buying in bulk is the way to go! Same product that you would by at Target or Walmart."
• "Shipment comes quickly in a sturdy box."
• "Great product refill for both my sons and my razors. Tough to beat this price and no need to join any monthly subscriptions."
• "Quick shipment."

Cons:

• "This is a big box of blade refills only - no handles come with them. They fit my husband's Gillette Fusion 5 handle perfectly and give him a very good, close shave."
• "I used to get these at Costco. Nor more. Cost here is identical and not all the wasteful packaging."
• "The last batch that we got did not come in a box like normal. They were in a plastic bag."
• "The last two purchases of these blades have not been as good as the previous purchases. I don't know if they are after market or defective seconds."

• "After the first use both cannisters failed to dispense product. I made sure the nozzles were not clogged."
