**Unboxing and First Impressions of the Gillette Pro Shield Fusion Razor**
Upon opening the package, I was excited to see the new flexball technology featured on this razor. The handle itself is quite impressive, with its rugged and durable design that exudes a sense of quality and longevity. The metal structure provides it with a solid feel, while the rubber grips ensure a comfortable grip in the hand. As I carefully unwrapped the packaging, I noticed that the Pro Shield Razor came attached to one of the pro shield razors, which was a nice touch. However, what really caught my attention was the four-pack of pro shield razors that came with it, neatly stored in a convenient case.
**The Handle: A Standard Yet Rugged Design**
I've been using Gillette ProGlide razors for a little while now, and I can confidently say that this handle is very familiar. It's a heavy, well-built design that feels substantial in the hand. The metal structure gives it a solid feel, while the rubber grips provide a comfortable grip even after extended use. As someone who values durability, I appreciate how this razor has been designed to withstand the rigors of daily shaving. The standard Gillette branding logo adorns the handle, adding a touch of familiarity and reassurance.
**The Flexball Technology: Smooth Rotation**
One of the standout features of this razor is its flexball technology, which allows for smooth rotation left and right. This innovative design ensures that you can shave all the different contours of your face without any trouble or discomfort. The ability to easily rotate the blade means that you can tackle even the most challenging areas with ease. Whether you're shaving over bumpy skin or around sensitive areas, this technology provides a level of comfort and precision that's hard to match.
**Swapping Out the Razor Heads: Easy as Can Be**
One of the things I've come to appreciate about Gillette razors is how easy it is to swap out the razor heads. The flexball mechanism makes it simple to press in, and then snap off the old head to replace with a new one. This feature is a game-changer for those who find that shaving becomes too much of an ordeal over time.
**The Razor Itself: Five or Six Thin Blades**
At first glance, this razor appears to be just another standard Gillette Fusion model. However, it's the five or six thin blades that really make it stand out from the crowd. These razor blades work together to provide a smooth and precise shave, gliding effortlessly over the skin with minimal drag.
**The Lubricant Strips: A Game-Changer**
One of the most innovative features on this razor is the lubricant strips at both the top and bottom of the blade. This clever design means that you have lubrication no matter which direction you're shaving. For me, this was a major problem when using other razors – I always felt like I needed to apply extra lubricant, which could be messy and inconvenient.
**The Edge Trimmer: A Handy Feature**
Perhaps the most underrated feature on this razor is the little trimmer on the back of the handle. This tiny tool allows you to easily edge around areas that are difficult to reach with a standard shave. I've found it particularly useful for getting rid of stray hairs around my nose, mouth, and ears.
**The Overall Experience: Smooth Shaves and a Refreshing Feeling**
Using this razor has been an absolute pleasure. The combination of the five or six thin blades, lubricant strips, and flexball technology all come together to provide a smooth and enjoyable shaving experience. I find that I'm left feeling refreshed and tingly, with no irritation or discomfort. For someone who's not a huge fan of manually shaving, this razor has been a revelation – it's made me realize just how much I've been missing out on by relying on electric trimmers.
**A Final Word**
Overall, I'm extremely happy with the Gillette Pro Shield Fusion Razor. The combination of innovative features, durable design, and exceptional performance make it a standout in the world of razors. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting to explore the world of shaving, this razor is definitely worth considering.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enmy name is anna-marie bells dachshund Gillette sent me over there Pro their new pro shield razor in their fusion line of manual razors and it's pretty cool in the first pack there was the main razor handle itself which is quite the nice and rugged and very long-lasting with some nice metal accent and rubber grip handle itself with the new flexball technology and then it came with one of the pro shield razors attached and then they sent me over a four pack of their of the pro shield razors as well which just came in this little convenient case but you could reuse as you get more razors and keeps four of them in there which is pretty cool now the handle for this razor is actually pretty standard I've been using their Pro glide razors for a little while now and that's the same kind of handle it's a very heavy well it's not super heavy but you know it has some heft and weight to it it's not made of plastic has some metal structure to it it is very rugged and durable you're going to want to keep this for a while and has very comfy rubber grips on it along with the Gillette branding logo and then up at the top they actually have their flexball technology which allows it to rotate left and right very smoothly and comfortably which combined with the inward movement of the razor blade itself means you can completely shave all the different contours your face may have without having any trouble which is pretty cool and for those of you who don't know which I didn't for like the first year and a half at using these razors to actually swap out the razor heads the little flex ball which is blue on this one or orange on the ProGlide one you just press that in and the razor head comes off pretty simple very straightforward and then you just snap it back on to put a new one on that's it the razor itself has a couple really cool features over other razors on it so it's your at first it's your standard Gillette Fusion razor which means it has five or six very thin really nice razor blades on it which help keep a very smooth and precise shape then you have the lubricant strip at the top on this one you also have a lubricant strip on the bottom that sounds crazy but it's actually really really cool that means you have lubricant no matter which direction you're shaving which for me was always the problem I always like a little lubricant before and after shaving and combined this with their sensitive skin Gillette Shave cream that I used means that you're getting just the smoothest possible shave you could get as well as having that nice little cool tingly feeling afterwards to really make you feel more refreshed so you got two different loops trips which means it's going to be super super smooth you're not going to you know it's not going to catch unless the blades are messed up they also included or they also put a little razor on the back which is a little trimming razor now they intend this to be used for edging like if you're trying to get up close to part of your facial hair that you keep but since I shave all mine off this is actually really really handy for getting those little thin hairs that pop up around my nose my mouth and around on the side on the ears that I can't easily get by just shaving normally I can use this little edge trimmer to pick those little hairs and you know shave them off around the nose and mouth sensitive areas like that that's very very convenient frankly with this razor I'm getting the best shape I've ever gotten there may be better options out there I've yet to use them and it's been pretty great the only thing I could really say that I would want to make this razor better is if perhaps the razor handle itself was some sort of shaving cream container and then on the end it had a little button to squirt out shaving cream right onto my face so I don't have to have two different things obviously that's not very realistic but this is one awesome razor and I'm very very happy with it I'm not a huge fan of manually shaving I usually I often use an electric trimmer just to trim it up and not worry about shaving shaving simply because I don't like the shaving process because it's usually not very enjoyable this was smooth and enjoyable and I was left feeling tingly and refreshed and it was very nice to Matt adjusts no to tons so that cold air running across my freshly shaven face is going to be very cold thanks for watching my review of the Gillette pro shield line of razors in their Fusion razor set it is really awesome the the trimmer on the back is super handy that's like probably the underrated feature that they have in here that they don't they don't advertise as much as the second lubricant strip but that little extra trimmer on the back is extremely useful because I'm always missing those little hairs around in my nose and that makes it really easy to get those off real quick and that extra lubricant strip means you have a
