It was Tuesday evening and I checked the mail on my dads desk, one of the items was a package from Gillette, it was a free Fusion; their newest bigger and better razor. The package was shiny and impressive looking, tempting me to use it and buy stuff. But would the razor live up to the outrageous price of blades? Will this marketing ploy of giving away a razor so people buy expensive blades for it capture me? I decided I would try this razor and see if the five blades really did shave better than my standard two bladed Sensor (also mad by Gillette). I didn’t have the time to shave that night, but vowed I would uncover why this razor cost so much on Wednesday. Come Wednesday when it came time to put the razor to its test I opened the package to find a shiny chrome, blue and orange contraption with a large heavy head on one end holding six blades. Five on one side for shaving, and one on the other for detail work. This detail blade may seem impractical at first, but I quickly found out that the head of this razor was so large that it was impossible to maneuver, and was quite difficult to use. I also feared for my life while using this thing, having five super sharp blades moving over ones face can be quite nerve racking. After finishing my face I attempted to use the detail blade to trim up my sideburns, but no matter what angle I held it at I could not get it to cut anything. When all was said and done I hate a few sore spots where the razor took off a little too much, and a very close shave on the rest of my face.
The Fusion lived up to its ability to shave closely, but at what cost? How many souls a year will be lost to this massive collection of sharp objects? I prefer not to risk life and limb for the perfect shave, my two bladed Sensor dose me just fine for now. Their for I have sealed the six bladed beast away in my bathroom drawer of no return and walked away.
