I received this product as a gift, and I must say that I'm glad I didn't spend money on it myself. The vibration doesn't do one bit of good to make your face smoother. They strapped a battery on a four blade razor as a marketing gimmick. Not a bad razor if it's free, but not worth any extra money paid for the "power." !!Attention Gillette!! You can call your next razor Fusion Power Ultra Magnum Viral BOOM Stick and put an mp3 player on it, but that won't necessarily amount to satisfied customers.

if you need a vibrator for cheap that doubles as a razor this is still a junk product. Just finished shaving with it, I had to go over my entire face with a another razor that was getting on the dull side. Basically it caught hair more then it actually cut anything. The blades are placed so tight together and at such a acute angle that it never reaches the base of the follicle. This left me with a five'o'clock shadow in patches. I ran my fingers over the blades to see if they were dull, and surprisingly they slide right over them. Over all substandard quality. I'll be sticking with my plain old three blade Schick. I'm just glad I had one left over to clean up after the Gillette.

I have twice not just nicked myself, but lain my chin open with this razor! First, I am not a complainer or nutcase - I am a 58 year old businessman who needed a new razor and had a coupon. I bought the 5-blade Fusion vibrating razor for that reason only - I had a coupon. As Gillette has apparently figured out, 5 blades is a dumb idea because it is so wide you can't negotiate those tight places around the nose, etc. To account for this - rather than addressing the actual problem they added a single "trimmer" blade to the opposite side. Brilliant! Well, I can not remember the last time I actually CUT myself with a razor until this razor came along. Twice in transitioning from my neck to chin I have managed to drag the trimmer blade across my chin laying it open the entire width of the blade! Not a nick, mind you, but a freakin' wound! Sure, I could continue to use it and just "be more careful" but that would be wrong. There are too many better products on the market for me to make allowances for crappy and dangerous design. Two major cuts in the same spot and I now have an actual scar. Just thought you'd want to know.
