Q and A Fusion Power
What makes Gillette Fusion razors better than MACH3?
What makes Fusion better than MACH3 is 8 years of shaving innovation. Gillette Fusion is a shaving system which includes a 5-blade shaving surface, a precision trimmer blade and a flexible comfort guard.
What are microfins, and what do they do?
The Gillette Fusion Power razor features ultra-soft skin guards consisting of 15 thinner, more flexible mocrofins. These microfins precede the blades and smooth out the skin before the first blade cuts the first hair, so you get a close, comfortable shave.
What does an Indicator Lubricating Strip do?
An Indicator Lubricating Strip is a thin strip that sits at the top of your razor, releasing lubricants over time, providing a great glide. When you are no longer getting an optimal shave, the Indicator Lubricating Strip fades to white, indicating that it might be time to change the blade.
What does the microchip do, and how does it work?
A battery-powered razor delivers an optimal shave when the voltage and frequency remain consistent, shave after shave. Over the lifetime of the battery, the voltage can weaken, reducing the frequency, and therefore the performance. The microchip in the Gillette Fusion Power maintains constant voltage and frequency over the lifetime of the battery, delivering consistent product performance every time you shave.
How does the low-battery indicator light work?
When a battery reaches a certain level, the oscillation frequency declines and the system is no longer capable of delivering the optimal shave. The microchip inside the Gillette Fusion Power senses when the battery is approaching this level. When this happens, the low-battery indicator light begins to flash, signalling that it's time to change the AAA battery.
Does movement of the razor give men a better shave?
The addition of oscillation to Gillette wet shaving systems has been shown to deliver a boost in shaving performance - the soothing micropulses help to reduce friction and increase razor glide, which leads to greater comfort vs. manual razors.
What's the automatic shutoff feature?
The automatic shutoff feature turns the razor off after roughly eight minutes of continuous operation. This feature protects the battery if the razor is accidentally activated, which comes in especially handy during travel.
For best results, should the power be turned on or off when using the Precision Trimmer Blade?
The Precision Trimmer Blade can be used with the power turned on or off. Preference varies form person to person. Using the Precision Trimmer Blade with or without power is an individual choice.
What type of battery does the Gillette Fusion Power men's razor use? How long does it last?
Similar to the MACH3 Sensitive, the Gillette Fusion Power uses an AAA battery. With the low-battery indicator light, Gillette Fusion Power will let you know when it's time to change the battery. Assuming average shaving, the battery should last approximately 3-6 months.
Is it safe to shave with Gillette Fusion Power in the shower?
Yes. Gillette Fusion Power is watertight and can be used in wet environments.
Q and A Shaving Tips
Is it better to use hot, cold, or warm water to shave?
Warm water is best for hydrating beard hair. Soaking in warm water softens hair and causes it to expand, making it 70 per cent easier to cut.
What is the best way to avoid razor burn?
If the skin is not properly prepared before shaving or if the blade on your razor is dull, you are more likely to end up with razor burn. Make sure to hydrate hair in warm water for up to three minutes and apply plenty of shave gel. Also, you may want to consider changing the blade on your razor at the first sign of dullness or discomfort.
Does shaving make your hair grow back thicker?
Scientists at Gillette have conducted extensive testing on the effects shaving has on both male and female hair growth, texture and colour. This testing has proven that shaving does not affect hair growth, colour, or texture. Shaving does, however, alter the tip shape or the regrown hair, which may initially change the way hair feels as it grows back. However, if hair is left to regrow completely, it will return to its former state.
In what direction should I shave to achieve the best shave?
Men's facial hair tends to grow in different directions. Start by shaving with light, gentle strokes with the grain. Then, if necessary, go against the grain for an even closer shave.
How do I avoid nicks and cuts, particularly above my upper lip?
The area above the upper lip is tricky for many men. To help avoid nicks and cuts, always leave it for last. Apply plenty of shave gel and allow this area to soak up as much lather as possible. When shaving, don't apply too much pressure. The Gillette Fusion ProGlide Precision Trimmer is really useful when shaving under the nose.
Is it okay to let my girlfriend or wife borrow my men's razor?
For both hygiene and performance, it's not a good idea to share your razor with your partner. Women have a much larger area to shave and you may find that after only a few shaves, you blade has dulled considerably; increasing the likelihood of nicks and cuts.
