Ten Reasons Why You Should Not Buy Gillette Fusion Razors

The Gillette Fusion was released to the world, with about as much hype as the Super Bowl, last September (2005).  It comes with five; count them 1.2.3.4.5, FIVE blades.  It is supposed to be the most technically advanced and best razor on the market.  Well, Gillette was partially right.  It is very advanced.  It looks like what I assume George Jetson's razor would look like.  It is something that should be in Arnold Schwarzenegger's classic Total Recall.  But does it work?  Of course it works.  It has many upsides.  It will shave you 5 times 'closer than a blade' because it has 5 times the number of blades that a regular, disposable razor has.  You can rest knowing the fact that you have the most advanced shaving system in the world.  You also have a sideburns trimmer/evener on the other side of the razor.  However, there are some bad things to it.  There are reasons why you shouldn't buy it.  

So now, from the home office in Lebanon, Nebraska, you are given the Ten Reasons Why You Should Not Buy a Gillette Fusion Razor.

#10)  It costs roughly $10 for the core unit.  This may not be a lot of money for some people, or for most anybody, but it is a tremendous amount of money to spend on a razor.  It would almost be cheaper to visit your barber a few times a week to get a shave.  When you factor in the cost for replacement cartridges, you're talking around $100 or more a year just to shave your face (assuming you replace the blades on a regular basis).

#9)  Don't believe the hype.  This is one of the examples of hype not living up to the actual product.  Usually nothing (but a first kiss) lives up to the hype, and the Fusion is no exception.  Have you seen the ads and commercials?  If you read magazines or watch TV, you have.  They are on every day, every channel, and in every men's magazine on the market.  From as much publicity that this thing gets, you'd swear it was running for President.
