The Fusion

About nine months ago, Gillette released the five blade razor. The Fusion. I of course scoffed at the idea, being a happy user of the Mach 3 for some six years now. At some point the law of diminishing returns is going to kick in. We can't have a 14 bladed razor, seriously. So while I was at home over Thanksgiving, Gillette sent this new razor to my parents house attempting to hook my dad on the new phenomenon. However, they need to know their audience, as my dad is still using the single blade razor from the '60's, and I'm sure he'll never switch. I don't think he even uses shaving cream. So my mom gave me the razor for me to try. Honestly, at first glance, this razor looks more like something you could use to defend yourself in a mountain lion attack rather than taking off unwanted facial hair. But after using it a few times, I can honestly say it is a welcome improvement over the Mach 3. So well done Gillette, thanks for making my face smoother.
