What’s the difference between Gillette MACH3 razor blades and Fusion razor blades? The Gillette MACH3 razor has 3 razor blades progressively positioned to cut hair gradually closer, so, for every stroke you take, it takes three. However, the 5-Blade Shaving Technology surface of Fusion has progressive blade geometry and a Flexible Comfort Guard for a more comfortable shave.
What are Microfins, and what do they do? The Gillette Fusion razor features ultra-soft skin guards consisting of 15 thin, flexible Microfins. These Microfins precede the blades and smooth out the skin before the first blade cuts the first hair. So you get a close, comfortable shave.
What does an Indicator Lubricating Strip do? An Indicator Lubricating Strip is a thin strip that sits at the top of your razor, releasing lubricants over time, providing a great glide. When you are no longer getting an optimal shave, the Indicator Lubricating Strip fades to white, indicating that it might be time to change the blade.
