I started shaving in 7th grade and back then I just had to worry about a few wimpy hairs above my upper lip. Now I'm outta highschool and I have places to be and people I want to impress plus a few more hairs than what I originally sported in 7th grade. Shaving to me was never something I dreaded (luckily I don't seem to have very sensitive skin and I am not too susceptible to bumps or ingrown hairs) but at the same time it wasn't something I enjoyed much either.

Shaving to me was never something I dreaded (luckily I don't seem to have very sensitive skin and I am not too susceptible to bumps or ingrown hairs) but at the same time it wasn't something I enjoyed much either. This began to change though when one day I started getting curious and I wanted to adventure outside of some of the razors I was using (mostly disposables like the Gillette Sensor 2 which is a very nice disposable but not my preferred regular shaver and a couple cartridge razors from Gillette competitors that I had been gifted by family) I tried a safety razor and while I understand the appeal it just isn't for me. While you can get a real nice shave with one it takes practice to not nick yourself and even more practice to get proficient and consistent with one and even upon becoming proficient with one it is still much more time consuming shaving with a safety razor than going with a cartridge/disposable razor. Having had that experience I decided maybe I should look back towards cartridge razors but instead try a different brand and that's when I ran into the Proshield. The shave I get from this razor is amazing. It's quick and close and the 5 blades means there is never a need for more than 1 pass which saves so much time I'd normally spend doing multiple passes with a safety razor to get a similar close shave. The lubrication strips are a nice addition and help make the shave even more refreshing and can be a nice way to tell about how worn out your cartridge is. The handle has a little bit of weight to it which not only makes it feel high quality but also makes it so I don't need to apply much pressure at all and I can just let the razor do its job. Personally I am very satisfied with how much use I get out of each cartridge but this will vary from individual to individual based on your shaving habits, how well you take care of your cartridge, and in general just when you like to swap it out. Just be sure to keep your cartridge nice and clean and to store your razor in a good spot after you shave. Overall this razor has definitely earned its spot in my shaving routine and has made shaving much more enjoyable for me as well as giving me a quicker, closer, and more refreshing shave each and every time.

“Having tried numerous razors over the years, the Gillette ProGlide stands out for its consistent performance and precision. With each of the 8 blades in the pack, I experienced smooth and close shaves without any nicks or irritation. The flexball technology ensures the razor contours to the face seamlessly, catching those tricky areas with ease. While they may be priced higher than some competitors, the quality and durability justify the cost. All in all, the Gillette ProGlide is a dependable choice for those seeking a superior shaving experience.”

WOW! Former dollar shave club user here for pretty much as long as they came out. stopped using them because the blades seemed like they were cheaply made, always cutting my face and neck. Never actually used gillette (that i can remember) but looked at the proglide shield to see how it is. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! This is the best and closest shave I've ever and I'm 42 lol. Seriously blown away, only wish I tried them sooner! As long as they don't use cheaper blades I'll be a customer for life!

This was a Fantastic purchase from start to end!! Had no issues to report to anyone very excellent pricing the cheapest I found literally anywhere, I tried in store on the shelf, Walmart .com, Amazon and even Gillette themselves this was greatly appreciated and are my favs!! Love how close the shave gets and how they bend and contour around my face!! Would rate way more than 5 stars here if I could very pleased customer and would love to order these more often if I’m able too, thank you very much!!!
I'm an avid shaver. I actually look forward to shaving (haha). I shave with both cartridge razors and when I feel like pampering myself I shave with a DE safety razor. So I'm always looking for fun, interesting razors to add to my collection.I saw this limited edition Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield razor and I had to get it, especially since I actually never shaved with a Fusion 5 product before. When it comes to Gillette I'm usually a Mach 3 guy.Pros: It comes in a very handsome package, it definitely feels like you bought something of value. It comes with a nifty razor stand. Its small but nice enough to elevate the décor of your bathroom and keep your handle clean and presentable. The limited edition razor handle is also very nice. Its half metal and half ...

When it comes to Gillette I'm usually a Mach 3 guy.Pros: It comes in a very handsome package, it definitely feels like you bought something of value. It comes with a nifty razor stand. Its small but nice enough to elevate the décor of your bathroom and keep your handle clean and presentable. The limited edition razor handle is also very nice. Its half metal and half rubberized plastic. I'm actually a little disappointed there wasn't more metal in the handle but its still a very nice handleThe shave itself is very nice. There's always a huge debate whether you need more than 1 or 2 blades in a razor but I definitely feel like it makes a significant difference. I'm a Mach 3 guy and even though the Mach 3 is more than enough for any average shaver, the Fusion 5 Proshield shaves smoother and closer on the first pass. Its the first razor I used where I didn't nick or cut myself on the first shave. Super comfortable and I had no skin irritation, skin burn or bumps afterwards.Cons: Even though the razor price is reasonable, when its time for a replacement head, its pretty expensive. To be fair to Gillette, a cartridge should last you about a months worth of shave (shaving 3 times a week, which is what I do) so a pack of 8 should last you 8 months. But even so, understandably, some guys don't want to spend 28$+ for refills.The other con is the lube strip. On the first shave the lube strip significantly deteriorated. It looks like a dog chewed up the lube strip. It doesn't seem to be affected in performance after a couple of shaves but it definitely is a concern for me that on the first shave it almost looks completely worn out and definitely negatively impacts my perception on the quality of the cartridge.All in all, although being an avid shaver I'm never settled to one razor I'm always intrigued to shave with as many interesting products as I can, Gillette definitely has my respects when it comes to the Fusion 5 pro shield. When I eventually settle down I can see myself stick with the Fusion 5 pro shield. I just hope that future carriages have improved durability on the lube strips
I am in my 70's now, have been shaving for many decades. I buy and try almost every new razor--I have used Gillette stating with Super Blue, Stainless steel, Track II, Techmatic, Atra, Mach 3, Proglide etc. I have also tried Dollar Shave Club and Harry's. Nothing comes close to this blade, best blade ever. I would like Gillette to fit this blade for the expensive heated razor--I will buy it then.
These are great in design and function for use in spaces as delicate, but less public facing area than your face. Fille has instructions on this website about this little spoken of "other" men's use for razors. And it shouldn't be secretive or shameful or whatever the issue is. Nobody ever told me as a young man this was even an option, and I wish they had. In my 40s, I only started this close of a non trimmer shave last year. I'll never go back. There's benefits that range from comfort to summertime freshness, to your other half being a guaranteed fan of a close shave, increased access, and cosmetic appeal. The tree out front looks taller once that mess on the ground was cleaned up, if you catch my drift. Guess what else? Know what nobody likes? A hair in their ...

And let's start educating young men. We're not gorillas for Pete's sake!(The "add photo" button below would get me arrested in some states. I'll politely decline.)
I am 51 and know how to shave properly. I have used these blades happily in the past, and while I normally get nowhere near 20 shaves on my face, I literally can not get more than 4 shaves out of my current blades that I purchased directly from Gillette on November 14, 2022. I've tried the best Gillette shaving creams along with other brands, and each time, it's the same result...my skin just gets pulled and cut.These don't appear to be fake, given the ID markings and aligned markings, but if I didn't know better, I'd identify them as imposters. I only need to shave a few days a week, and I just started using the new pack about 5 weeks ago...what a disappointment.
I must say, I'm really impressed with this sharpener. Not only does it provide an excellent edge, but the overall quality is top-notch as well. I've been using it to maintain the sharpness of my razor blades, and it's been doing a fantastic job. The process is smooth and efficient, and the results are evident – I get a clean, close shave every time. The sharpener itself feels sturdy and well-made, which gives me confidence that it'll last for a long time. All in all, it's been a great addition to my grooming routine, and I'm quite pleased with the sharpness it delivers and the quality it embodies
With the five bladed head, cuts, nicks, scratches and pulling are non existent….. this razor gives me the smoothest shave I’ve ever had.When ordering a set of replacement blade heads, I made a mistake and ordered the wrong heads-which came with the razor handle.It was a three blade head.. So I tried it to see if I liked it better. When I was finished, I had to put five little pieces of toilet paper on the cuts and nicks it produced.Walmart took it back, no questions asked and I got the heads I wanted to get in the first place. No more toilet paper needed….The Gilllet Proglide Chill, five bladed heads.Also, I use the heads for up to eight shaves each, which allows them last longer than every other razor I’ve ever owned….I highly recommend it…..
