What do you think of the new Gillette 5 blade razor.

[mantic59]

@wildbill0528 you mean the new Fusion ProGlide? Its an evolutionary improvement on the original Fusion but it is still over-priced and 5 blades simply are not necessary.

I was using 7'o clock blades to shave with, and I keep getting bumps, should I use a different blade and see if that helps, or am I shaving the wrong way?

[mantic59]

@jmartin1087 sorry for late reply, could be the blade or you may not be rinsing your face well enough after the shave to get rid of lather residue.

whats your personal favorite blade?

[mantic59]

@goatkiller68 i actually have several "favorites" including Derby, Crystal, and Iridium.

Gillette make some nice sharp, smooth blades. The 7 o'clock yellows (made in St Petersburg) are great, as are the Super Thin made for the far East market.

Ultimate in sharpness are feathers, but they're a touch expensive and are my "weekend" blade.
