Product Information

Please take into consideration that this is a natural product and that there may be colour variations and different grains. The biggest downside most of our testers reported was that it took longer to get a close shave with three blades than with Fusion’s five. Though the Fusion ProGlide and ProGlide Shield are sold as different razors, they use functionally the same handle—one with a ball-shaped pivoting mechanism (the ProGlide handle has black accents; the ProGlide Shield handle is trimmed in yellow).

They have to be spaced properly, so that they clear debris and prevent skin from bulging into the spaces between blades. This rare material comes from wood which sank into bogs many centuries ago and has undergone various processes of change over time. Typical was a comment from tester Brent Butterworth: “The Fusion5 gives me a close shave, but I would say that I did have to do a few more passes compared with the Mach3, [because] it needed repeated rinsing. The particularly beautiful wood of the masur birch comes from trees in the tree-line regions of the far north of Germany. Whilst we make every effort to ensure that the product information on our site is accurate, this information will occasionally change.If at any time you would like to opt out from marketing, you can visit the Privacy Preferences page and select the relevant options. Fusion handles differ by how they pivot, bend, and vibrate; there’s also a bulky Fusion handle that adds a beard and stubble grooming attachment. This kind of close shave is optimal for many men, but for others can contribute to skin irritation or a propensity for ingrown hairs.

We therefore strongly recommend that you always read the actual product label from the product you have purchased, before using or consuming such product. With an attractive design and easy-to-use handle, the razor features Gillette's renowned front pivot technology for a clean and smooth shave. We made this choice because we believe that most folks want to shave quickly, efficiently, and with the lowest possibility of nicks and cuts. The concept works—detritus flushes right out—but that width, along with a somewhat Harry’s-like reverse flex mounting system, also made the Defender the only razor that consistently left me with nicks and cuts.

The Nukka men’s and ladies razor blades are incredibly sharp and provide a precise cut with every stroke.

Mach3 blades, just like any razor blades, should be disposed of responsibly and never discarded carelessly. He wrote Wirecutter’s original shaving guide, which appeared in 2015, and he’s covered the shaving industry since the late 1980s. In this process it attains high resistance to water, the grain is accentuated and the wood takes on its brown colour. I’m able to get way more than the recommended life out of these blades, and the open construction on the back meant that wash-through was easy, and I never wound up with a bunch of hair clogging up the spaces between blades.You can put all three blades in, for the closest shave possible; use just one, to go as easy on your skin as you can; or use the first and last slot, to allow lots of room for hair to wash away. Due to the harsh climatic conditions, the growth height is low and the wood develops an exceptionally rich grain. We asked each tester to name their favorite razors, identify a clear favorite (if they had one), and single out anything they truly found heinous. Shavers are portable and travel-friendly, making them the perfect addition to your travel essentials. On the other hand, it garnered more negative comments, with some saying the higher blade count scraped against their skin, or the large head was harder to maneuver.
