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 Phantom better than MACH3. Gillette Fusion Power Phantom 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 Phantom 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 Phantom 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 Phantom 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.

1 out of 5 stars I really like the Norelco's so much better. :D   March 18, 2010

Just had better luck not cutting my face up with a blade. I think that if you've had a Norelco 8200 electric razor and given yourself about a 2 to 3 month period to get used to it, your beard will change. Not a long time for a man, being that you shave every day for around 60 years for the typical man. That is 720 months of shaving. I really think it is worth the pain and small cuts you get in the beginning to try to get to a place you can shave in the car and anytime so quickly. Three month investment to get to have 717 SOOO much easier months of shaving. Kinda like the shaving lottery.

Mine got softer and became easy to cut with the razor. I often shave in the car going to work and it really doesn't affect my driving like talking on the phone. It is SOOOOO much better than a straight edge.

I hope you find your way of shaving. :)



3 out of 5 stars Stick with the Mach 3   March 17, 2010

I did not really notice a better shave with this product vs. the Mach 3 product. Not worth the extra expense.


5 out of 5 stars Loving it...   March 14, 2010

This is by far the best razor I've had in days. Shaving is not a nightmare anymore. I don't have to dread days after not shaving for a while or have to "soften" in shower etc. Shave when u want and are good to go.


1 out of 5 stars More cuts, same irritation, shave is less close   February 19, 2010

I have a bad combination of a tough beard and sensitive skin, so I'm always looking for something to help me stop dreading shaving. Impressed by some great reviews here, I decided to give this a try.

Using my old Sensor or Mach3/Mach3 turbo I had irritation, averaged 2-3 nicks or cuts per shave, and the razors weren't up to cleanly shaving a few difficult areas of my face (under the ear for example).

Using this thing, this wondrous Fusion Power Razor, left me with as many, or more, irritated areas, averaged 5+ nicks or cuts per use, and it couldn't cleanly shave even the areas the other two razors have no problem with. Plus, it actually gets stuck shaving against the grain.

I'm serious, it stops moving and you have to put more pressure on it, bear down harder, to get it to move which, of course, results in those extra cuts and irritation, and then it still misses patches of beard you just tried to shave.

This is just a waste of money. The technology behind this is only different, not better. No doubt it's the 5 blade foolishness that makes it stop moving in rougher sections of the beard, and the power blade vibration seems to accomplish nothing at all.

I'm convinced that the rave reviews here are from people new to shaving, people who have light beards, or people getting paid to promote the product.



5 out of 5 stars Skeptical about the "power", but it works   February 4, 2010

You know, at some point it seems like they've run out of blades and other improvements just to give you a good shave, but after using the Phantom, they haven't reached that point yet. It's a pretty tight shave and I think some of that has to do with the "power" aspect, which is basically the vibrating movement of the entire razor.

I think it gives the best shave of anything I've tried. I use this on my face and my head and I notice I can skip an extra day, which in the long run saves me time.

Highly recommended.
