READ THIS REVIEW AND AVOID A COSTLY MISTAKE
- Battery powered vibrating feature is worthless, well at least for shaving.
- Isn’t for short beards, if you don’t have to shave everyday than buy a different razor
- Blades wear out too quickly, mine go bad after about 5-7 shavings
- Hard to clean whether or not you have the vibrator running
- Doesn’t shave any better than their Gillette Mach 3
Save your money and buy a less expensive razor, if you have to own a Fusion then buy the non battery version.

First of all,…”PHANTOM”? Really? Well, I can certainly …empath it sitting in my trash bin. The only thing I fail to see is the what all the fuss was about.
Does it shave? Sure. Is it closer? Closer than what? Oh, you mean compared to those…ancient 2/3/4-blade ones? Well, not detectably. If it does shave any closer I for one could not tell. And no, the vibration adds to nothing detectable either besides a small humming noise.
And, what is worse, the new head is too big with only a small portion of its surface corresponding to the blades: one has very little control under his nose and chin. It will nick you if not careful.
Similar to digital camera manufacturers who are engaged in the “more-and-more megapixels” marketing war (only to end up with more and more…noise as no one seems to consider whether the lens can keep up or not), the “more-and-more blades” race has reached the point of ridiculous.
So closer it may or may not be, but less comfortable it surely is. I use to shave against the grain my cheeks and under my jawline. And apparently, all these blades and vibration and “comfort strips” make the experience not something to long for.
And, to add insult to injury, if you have any old Gillette blade cartridges knocking around in some drawer, forget about using them with this new holder. Contrary to the previous editions of Gillette blade holders that had retrograde compatibility, this baby will only take new (and more expensive) Gillette Fusion Power Blades.
Just like printer companies, that are eager to sell us their printers below cost – only to charge an arm and an leg for their inks and toners, the shaving blades oligopoly (after all the buyouts, all of …two major companies remain to “compete”) has turned our morning ritual into their mil-cow. Bells and whistles and over-the-top adds do not hide the fact that only some years ago, blade cartridges came in fives (not fours!) and cost less than half of what the new brightly colored and over-marketed new ones!
What is really ironic is that the single blade at the back is so much better than the overloaded front that I was reminded of why, years ago, I had taken the advice of my father and chosen the path of traditional blade holders.
I bought this for a conference trip and kept is as a backup until its blades run out. After about a month I went back to my trusted Safety Razor. Paired with a traditional Badger Hair Shaving Brush and a good Shaving Soap there is simply no comparison in both sensation and result.

Got one as a gift as the giver thought I needed to upgrade from my old Sensor razor. Fusion is a piece of junk – much more difficult to handle and maneuver than the old sensor. Most of all, it’s no where close to the Sensor in giving a comfortable shave. I see Gillette is using famous athletes to pitch this piece of garbage. Gillette is desperate for sales because I think they also know that this product is a piece of junk. I read somewhere that they decided to come out with a 5-blade unit because Schick already had a 4-blade one and they wanted a new gimmick over their Mach razors. Totally NOT WORTH the MONEY!
