My husband was asked if he would like to share his thoughts on the new 3 in 1 Gillette Fusion ProGlide Styler, he was willing to give it a try.
Being a fair skinned man, one may assume that shaving would not be an issue for me, however, this is not the case. My straggly, sparse and course facial hair (which I attribute to my Cree heritage) needs to be clean shaven to look good.
Having tried a variety of shavers since the dawn of puberty in my life there are some keepers and some that are only good for taking up space in the shower. Recently I had the chance to review the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Styler and wow, that was a good shave.
To start this shaver looks complex, but it is very simple and easy to use with lots of cool features to address all a mans hair needs. I look at this styling tool as a clipper. There is a clipper that you can use for trimming and cleaning up your stray hair. The clipper comes with 3 grooming combs that act like guards for the clipper. They easily slip on and off for ease of cleaning and storage. Of course we can not forget the feature of the styling tool, the razor.
I found all the accessories worked very well. Given that I don’t have (and never will be able to) grow a beard, there is no trimming of facial hair necessary. However the number 2 guard did a fantastic job on my eyebrows.
The razor head itself is an engineering masterpiece. With five blades (yes i said five) for your shaving pleasure this razor gets business done right. Gillette has mastered its blade construction to make blades unlike I have tried before. For me the most uncomfortable part about shaving long hair is the tip of the chin. With this shaver it was not a painful experience at all. A simple drag across the chin and I had that spot done. I liked that the back side of the razor head has yet another blade made for precision trimming.
This is a great manscaping tool that all guys should have. Ladies, if you are thinking about getting your man a new razor, this is it. The Gillette Fusion ProGlide Styler is available at food, drug and mass merchandise stores across Canada for a suggested price of $24.99.
Like I said, I have had many razors, but never one like this. This is my new razor and my face (and wife) are thankful. I have never had a shave like this.

That looks like a great razor. I will have to share if with my dad. My hubby likes his facial hair so he doesn't shave much. Great video also.

My husband always had discomfort shaving a little part right above his chin, he said this is the first shaver that did not cause him some pain when shaving there! You'll have to let me know what he thinks of the Gillette ProGlide Styler if he decides to give it a try!
