Product Description

Gillette Fusion 5 Razor Blades Pack of 4

Gillette Fusion 5 blades are razor blade refills for Fusion5 men’s razors. Each cartridge has five blades and a precision trimmer on the back, and this pack contains four cartridges. They are refills only, so the razor handle is not included.

These Gillette razor blades are for a men’s razor with a five-blade cartridge, and Gillette says each cartridge gives up to 20 comfortable shaves, depending on how you use it. The cartridges fit Fusion5 razor handles, and they work best with a shaving gel or foam. If you are looking for a Gillette razor with blades as a starter kit, this pack is the refill only.

Key Features

  • Five blades per cartridge: the Gillette Fusion 5 blades are narrowly spaced for low-friction glide, and the pack has 4 cartridges.
  • Precision trimmer: an extra blade on the back of the cartridge for hard-to-reach areas, such as under the nose and around sideburns.
  • Lubrastrip: a blue lubricating strip that fades to white when it is time to replace the cartridge.
  • Up to 20 comfortable shaves per cartridge, according to Gillette. Actual life depends on how you shave.
  • Fits the Fusion5 family of handles, as well as Gillette PRO and SkinGuard handles.

How Gillette Fusion 5 Blades Work

Each cartridge holds five blades in a row. Gillette says they are spaced narrowly so the surface stays smooth and the razor moves with very little friction, and that every hair can be cut up to five times in a single stroke. A microcomb guides hairs into the blades.

The Lubrastrip is designed to release lubrication when it meets water. Gillette says this helps reduce the risk of cuts, nicks and irritation. The blue strip also acts as a replacement indicator: when it has faded to white, the cartridge is worn. A precision blade on the back handles detail areas.

Results vary from person to person.

What’s Included

  • 4 x Gillette Fusion5 razor blade cartridges (refills)
  • Each cartridge: five blades plus a precision trimmer blade on the back, and a Lubrastrip
  • Not included: a razor handle

How to Use and Care

  1. Fit a cartridge to a compatible Fusion5 handle, following the insertion instructions on the pack.
  2. Wet your skin and apply a shaving gel or foam, then shave.
  3. Rinse the cartridge from the back to the front, ideally after every few strokes.
  4. After shaving, shake off the water gently and let it air dry, on a razor stand if you have one.
  5. Replace the cartridge when the Lubrastrip has faded from blue to white, when shaving no longer feels comfortable, or if you notice nicks on the blades.

Safety: do not tap the razor on a sink or hard surface, as this can damage the cartridge. A dull or nicked blade can cause irritation and even minor cuts. Keep out of the reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How many shaves do Gillette Fusion 5 blades last?

Gillette says each Fusion5 cartridge provides up to 20 comfortable shaves. How long yours lasts depends on how often you shave and how thick your hair is. Replace it when the Lubrastrip has faded from blue to white, when shaving is less comfortable, or if the blades are nicked.

2. What does the Gillette Fusion 5 blades 4 pack contain, and is a razor included?

The pack contains 4 Fusion5 cartridges, each with five blades, and no razor handle. It is a refill pack. If you need a Gillette razor and blades together, buy a Fusion5 razor handle as well.

3. Which razors do Gillette Fusion 5 blades fit?

They fit Fusion5 handles. Gillette says every cartridge in the Fusion5 family fits every handle in that family, including the Fusion5 Power, ProGlide and ProShield handles. Gillette also lists cross-compatibility with PRO and SkinGuard handles. If your handle is an older Gillette Fusion, check its packaging or the Gillette website before you buy.

4. Do I need shaving gel with Fusion5 blades?

Yes, Gillette recommends using a shaving gel or foam. Unlike some other Gillette ranges, Fusion5 refills do not have lubrication before and after the blades, so gel or foam helps the razor glide.

5. How do I clean and look after my Gillette Fusion 5 blades?

Rinse the cartridge from the back to the front after every few strokes, then shake it gently and let it air dry. Store the razor on a stand rather than wet on the side of the basin. Do not tap it on a sink or hard surface, which can damage the cartridge.

6. What are the Lubrastrip and precision trimmer on Gillette Fusion 5 blades?

The Lubrastrip is a blue lubricating strip, and the precision trimmer is an extra blade on the back of the cartridge. The Lubrastrip releases lubrication on contact with water and fades to white when it is time to replace the cartridge. The trimmer is for detail areas, such as under the nose or around sideburns.
