Re: FREE Gillette ProGlide Razor
 

I got one of these at my local BJ's Wholesale Club a few weeks before the official release. The new razor is a huge improvement over the original Fuzion IMO. The blades last longer and cut better.

Re: FREE Gillette ProGlide Razor
 

Got mine and I agree it is a great shave. The blade its self cuts better and as far as the vibration it just seems to numb the skin making it feel like an even smoother shave. I think the key to the blade may be the little comb because it truly seems to cut well in any direction.

Re: FREE Gillette ProGlide Razor
 

Got mine on saturday and tried it side by side with my Fusion. New blades in both and the Fusion definately pulls the hair more (in a bad way). With the ProGlide it didn't even feel like it was cutting the hair, but left behind nice smooth skin.

It also seemed like cut hairs didn't get trapped in the corners of the blades on the proGlide as easily as they do on the fusion. With the fusion, I shave in 2 minutes and spend 5 minutes just cleaning the blades afterword. With the ProGlide, just shaking it in the water got rid of 95% of them.

A+ from me. :tu

I'm going to have to see if the vendor I went through can get his hands on some ProGlide blades now and send those out to the fellas deployed.

Checked with the vendor and he told me he is no able to get the ProGLides yet since they are ridiculously expensive (seems about right since it's a new product).

Just saw them at my local supermarket.
Mad money.
The razor is $12.
The refills are $15 for 4.

That's absurd. I still have yet to use the one they sent me. I'm going to have to try it though since everyone is giving it rave reviews.

Re: FREE Gillette ProGlide Razor
 

Agree it is totally absurd.
The price is a breaking point for me.
While it provides the most comfortable shave I recall ever, I can handle a bit less comfort and save a considerable amount by using alternative blades.
Not to mention I am still confused over the whole vibrating thing.
If the price drops, I may eventually consider buying them.

Re: FREE Gillette ProGlide Razor
 

The vibrating, or pulsing motion as they prefer it to be called, does not really make sense to me either. Though I know what it was designed for it doesn't attract me to the razor one bit.

The micro-pulsing was designed to help lift the hair out of the skin allowing the blade to cut more of it.

Re: FREE Gillette ProGlide Razor
 

When the Mach III Power came out I tried it side by side with the regular Mach III and I definitely felt the vibrating motion helped to cut the hairs more effectively. Since then, I've only purchased the "power" versions of their razors.

I totally agree though that the prices of these blades is totally out of control. I went to my local wholesale club and the 16 pack of these blades is $46. RIDICULOUS!!! That's almost $3/blade.

Re: FREE Gillette ProGlide Razor
 

I got mine in today (it was actually three days ago but my wife never told me it came in the mail and had it in her van). Looks cool and the blades are very thin. I doubt I'll pay $46 for refill cartridges though. I still stick with my old Sensor Excel refill cartridges for about $25.

Re: FREE Gillette ProGlide Razor
 

Got mine but I'n waiting to put a new blade in my Fusion Mach whatever to do a side by side test. Either way, thanks Jay!

Re: FREE Gillette ProGlide Razor
 

I just got around to trying mine out this morning with 2 days growth -Wow what a razor! I paired it up with some Lab Series Cream (best stuff I have ever tried) and I must say never had a shave that smooth and easy - No Tug and No Burn. Head is bigger than I am used to so took a bit of getting used to but otherwise perfection. I don't care if the blades are $10 each I am hooked.:tu

Don't like the vibration and glad it has an off switch.
