Editorial Reviews:

Manufacturer Product Description
Gillette Fusion Power is Gillette's Most Comfortable Shave. 8 years of shaving innovation and 20 more patents make Gillette Fusion Power Phenom better than MACH3. Gillette Fusion Power Phenom is an advanced shaving system with an advanced design that provides optimal performance when using either side of the razor. On the front of the cartridge, Gillette Fusion Power Phenom features 5 PowerGlide Blades spaced closer together to form a shaving surface technology. This design distributes the shaving force across the blades to help reduce pressure, with more comfort and less irritation than MACH3.

Gillette Fusion Phenom Power Men's Shaver

The back of the cartridge has a truly innovative Precision Trimmer—a single blade built into the back of the cartridge, allowing you to easily trim sideburns, shave under your nose, or shape facial hair, such as goatees, soul patches, and chinstrap beards. A soft touch, secure handle that intuitively rolls through the fingers allows for an easy 180-degree transition between the shaving surface on the front and Precision Trimmer on the back. Gillette Fusion Power Phenom also contains a Flexible Comfort Guard that follows the contours of your face and pulls your skin taut for a comfortably close shave. Additionally, it features an Enhanced Indicator Lubricating Strip that gradually fades to white when you are no longer getting your optimal shave, so you always know when to change the blades. Inside the handle is an oscillating motor that delivers soothing micropulses, which help reduce friction and increase razor glide.

Also living inside the handle is the onboard microchip, which creates an entirely new platform of technology that improves the system's performance and brings electronics to wet shaving for the first time. The microchip serves three primary functions: It regulates voltage for consistent power, it controls the Low Battery Indicator Light, which alerts you when the battery runs low, so you always have power when you need it, and it powers the Automatic Shut-Off, which turns the razor off after about 8 minutes in case of accidental activation and protects the battery during travel.

  • 5-Blade Shaving Surface Technology with 5 PowerGlide Blades spaced closer together to help reduce pressure-with more comfort and less irritation than MACH 3
  • Precision Trimmer on the back of the razor for those tricky spots like sideburns, under the nose and around facial hair
  • Flexible Comfort Guard that follows the contours of your face and pulls your skin taut for a comfortably close shave
  • Enhanced Indicator Lubricating Strip gradually fades to white when you are no longer getting your optimal shave, so you always know when to change the blades
  • Oscillating motor that delivers soothing micropulses, which help you reduce friction and increase razor glide
  • Onboard microchip regulates voltage consistent power
  • Low Battery Indicator Light alerts you when the battery runs low, so you always have power when you need it
  • Automatic Shut-Off turns the razor off after about 8 minutes in case of accidental activation and protects the battery during travel

4 out of 5 stars Fusion Power Razor - Surprisingly Improved But Still Expensive   August 18, 2008
Mark (East Coast)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I have used a regular Fusion razor for a while, and a few months ago I decided to give the Gillette Fusion Power Phenom Razor a try. As far as I can tell, other than cosmetic color differences this design is the same as the Gillette Fusion Power Razor, Phantom, 1 razor and the Gillette Fusion Power Battery Powered Shaving System, 1system. I can definitely understand the criticisms but I have been surprised myself by what a difference a little vibration has made. Suffice it to say I think this shaver and the powered vibration are an improvement over previous models.

While I can understand that some accuse Gillette of a gimmick, I can say that these razor blades definitely do seem to shave closer than the Mach 3 version. So if it's a gimmick, then I too have been fooled.


The vibration definitely seems to help the razor glide over my face more smoothly. As a result it takes less passes to get a complete shave.

Even if you are speptical but just want to find out if the vibration will help you, these are going for less than a dollar more than the manual version, the Gillette Fusion Manual Razor with Replacement Cartridge and Storage Case. So that extra 80 cents is worth finding out if the vibration helps you. If it doesn't just don't use the power feature and this is the same as the manual fusion.

I will have to agree that the small blade on the back of the razor is not effective for shaping. It's just too hard to get it at the perfect angle. Still, this is a minor con, and I'm sure that some people will be able to get the proper technique with it.

The Gillette Fusion Power Replacement Cartridges, 8-Count Package may not be the greatest value out there, but these refills are what you need. These definitely come at a premium price. After using these refills for a while they seem to last longer than my Mach 3 ones did. So I can accept the premium.

The first blade that came with my shaver lasted a while, and my first refill has gone strong for a while too. I think these blades were made to last a LONG time so it's easier to accept the higher cost of refills. Then again, by comparison the cost of the initial shaver and blade seem to be low so it's worth giving it a try.

Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars No Shave Is Better...Worth The Price   July 3, 2008

The POWER Fusion is the one to get. The razor its self is inexpensive and it comes with a cartridge. It is amazing. The least amount of irritation with the closest shave ever. The replacement blades for the razor are expensive but guys....it is well worth it....Amazon has the best prices for the replacement blades....the 8pack costs 20 something $ here and at Walgreens or CVS the 8pack of replacement cartridges is over $30.


1 out of 5 stars Nice enough, but useless to me   September 18, 2008

All Gillette Fusion products are useless to me because of the silly little trimmer blade installed on the back side.

I use the tip of my index finger resting lightly on the back of my Mach 3 or Quattro razor to help guide the razor as I use it. With any Fusion product, there's a sharp blade right where I rest the tip of my finger.

If they start making a blade cartridge for this that doesn't have the trimmer blade on the back, I'll try it again. Until then, useless.



4 out of 5 stars Good shave, no nicks   June 12, 2008

0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Much better than Mach 3 in terms of comfort (I used to get a couple of nicks with Mach 3 too, but did'nt get even a single cut with this). Otherwise I didn't find this much better than either Mach 3 or the Norelco rotary shavers I have - just as good
But the single blade at the top is great! (removing ear hairs... gross..)
