Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide Shield Power Razor — FlexBall Handle, 5-Blade Cartridge, 2x Lubrication

Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide Shield Power is a battery-powered men's shaving razor with FlexBall contouring, 5 anti-friction blades, and enhanced lubrication to reduce irritation while delivering a close shave.

This power razor pairs soothing micropulses and FlexBall technology with an enhanced lubrastrip to minimize tug and irritation while getting close to the skin. The cartridge includes five thin, closely spaced blades plus a precision trimmer on the back for edging and hard-to-reach areas. One refill can last up to about one month of daily shaves, and the handle accepts all Gillette 5-blade refills (excluding GilletteLabs).

How does the FlexBall handle improve shave coverage?

The FlexBall pivots with facial contours, keeping blade contact consistent across jawlines and under the chin. That means fewer passes and less pressure needed to capture hairs on tricky angles.

• FlexBall articulation follows curves for even blade contact.
• Battery-powered micropulses reduce friction for smoother glides.
• Fewer missed hairs on contours and tighter areas.

What role does the 2x lubrication strip play in comfort?

The enhanced lubrastrip provides lubrication both before and after the blades, creating a protective cushion that helps skin glide under the blades and reduces irritation. It’s an upgrade from earlier Fusion5 strips for a noticeably softer stroke.

• Pre-blade lubrication prepares skin and hair for cutting.
• Post-blade lubrication soothes skin after each pass.
• Visible indicator helps identify when cartridge replacement is needed.

Are the blades and trimmer suitable for detailing and sensitive areas?

Yes—the five anti-friction blades deliver a close, consistent cut while soft microfins and a microcomb guide hairs into position. The precision trimmer on the cartridge’s back handles sideburns, under-nose work, and shaping tasks where control matters.

• Five thin blades spaced for low tug and close cutting.
• Microfins smooth skin to prep hairs for a closer shave.
• Precision trimmer for accurate edging, nostril and neckline work.

How often do I need to replace the refill and which refills fit the handle?

One Fusion5 ProGlide Shield refill typically lasts up to one month with daily shaving, though frequency depends on beard density and shaving habits. The Power handle accepts all Gillette 5-blade refills except GilletteLabs cartridges.

• Estimated one-month life per cartridge with regular use.
• Compatible with most Gillette 5-blade refills (not GilletteLabs).
• Replace sooner if you notice tugging or decreased glide.

Who is this for: The Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide Shield Power razor is for men who want a technologically enhanced shave — those seeking closer results with less irritation, shaving along challenging contours, or who like a battery-powered handle for reduced friction. It’s suitable for everyday shavers wanting precision trimming and a smoother glide across sensitive or stubbly areas.
