While at CapitalEx last week, Sharon and I walked past a Gillette Fusion kiosk where they were handing out free razors. I took one, and finally tried it yesterday. I’ve been using the M3Power since it came out, and I didn’t think that the two extra blades on the Fusion would be able to do a better job – and I was right. As Darren already proved a couple months ago, five blades don’t make a difference (at least not that I can tell).

That said, the Fusion did feel much smoother against my face than the M3Power. Maybe this is because there are no battery-powered vibrations, or maybe it’s the ergonomic design of the Fusion, I don’t know. In any case, I’m not sure it’s enough to make me switch.
