Maintain a Clean Shave With Gillette Fusion 5 Replacement Blades
The Gillette Fusion 5 is one of the premier razor models currently on the market. Razor blades inevitably wear out and need to be replaced. eBay can help you get what you need and sell you packs of Gillette Fusion 5 replacement cartridges.
Qualities of Gillette Fusion 5 bladesEach Gillette Fusion 5 razor cartridge comes with five anti-friction blades designed to give you a close shave without irritating your face. The blade cartridges also each include a precision trimmer meant to reach difficult areas on your face and a lubrication strip that keeps your face wet as you use them, helping the blades slide more easily across your face and decreasing the chances that you'll be cut during a shave.
How are Gillette Fusion 5 blades sold?Fusion 5 replacement blades are sold in packs. The pack can vary in size from four blades per pack up to 32. Packs increase in size by increments of four blades. It's also possible to find eBay listings that offer individual replacement blades, though these are usually sent to the buyer as samples. Four and eight packs are the most common types of blade packs for sale on eBay. Some lots will combine packs or break them into small, affordable single packs.
Which blades fit which razor handles?Gillette produces a Fusion series of razors and another 5-blade series of razors known as the Gillette 5. The Fusion 5 combines the features of both of these so that Fusion 5 blades will be compatible with the Fusion 5 Razor, as well as any other razor in both the Fusion series and the Gillette 5 series. Specifically, this includes the Gillette Fusion ProGlide razor, which features FlexBall technology that helps the blades to bend and twist around your face and shave hard-to-reach areas.
How long does each Gillette Fusion 5 replacement blade last?According to the manufacturer, each replacement blade can last for approximately one month. However, this should not be thought of as an exact figure. The life and serviceability of each blade will vary depending on how frequently you shave.
There are two factors that affect the serviceability of each replacement blade: its sharpness and the effectiveness of the lubrication strip. Dull blades will not be able to give you a close shave and will be more likely to cut you, and a used up lubrication strip will not be able to keep your face sufficiently wet during a shave, also increasing your chances of being cut. To make sure that the lubrication strip does not become worn out too soon, make sure to store your Gillette Fusion 5 in a container. You can also keep it face-up and away from wet surfaces.
