Has anyone used this oil with a Gillette Fusion 5 blade razor? Did it go well? Did the cut hairs clog your razor like I read in one of the reviews?

My buddy uses this when he shaves with his fusion, and he tells me it works great. As for the clogging, it might be due to your beard's thickness, or how narrow the gap in between each blade is.

Melissa sorry it has taken me awhile to respond to your question but I have been away from a computer from a while. about the oil, I didn't like the oil. it was very heavy and messy on my hair and I stopped after two uses. I prefer the liquid gold hair growth crème that is much better and results are from after a few weeks use.

Where did you find this article about ingrown hairs and this razor? Cuz that is mainly why i am purchasing this razor. I will be more than happy to let you know how it does on mine once i get it.

It works very well for ladies. A friend of mine with nice legs saw me using the shaver on my face. She asked me to try it on her legs. She said it gave her one of the smoothest leg shaves she's ever had.

Did you try this on your head? I am considering this or the black version of this. My barber used it to bald my head after a close trim and this was pretty quick and clean for the most part, I still got a few bumps here and there, mostly back of my head but I think it should be OK with a prep and aftershave cream follow up?

You need to be very careful with this oil. It will burn you badly. It is by far one of the strongest oils out there. If you dilute it with other oils (I would recommend that you do a long search about it first) and heavy dilution with a carrier oil as well.

Look at the back of your razor. It should say "use only with phillips HQ8505 power plug" for the Phillips PT720 razor, or some other power plug number if the razor is not PT720. Then go to Amazon and search for the power plug number that is shown on the back of your razor! I just looked and there are many that will work. If you can't find one, let me know the "Use Only" number and I will send you the site info!!

Don't be squeamish! You get a closer shave, with less irritation, and you save a LOT of money, too! My husband swears by the soap and brush and safety razor, and he's hard to please. He even has a way to prolong the life of the blades -- you lay them flat against the inside of a drinking glass and move it back it back and forth a few times -- he swears it makes them good for another shave or three.

My wife bought the Fusion Proglide for me, and I had not used these blades before. My advice is to check with the Gillette website before you try to use other blades. Sorry I cannot answer your question. Benny

I have always had a Norelco rotary shaver. Just purchased another and had bought one over 5 years ago. Have used many times not religiously every day but fairly often. Never have replaced blades!!!!!!!!..... had my units serviced or tuned up where they clean the motor or armature etc. Love these shavers.... If you use every day over straight razor you will get a closer shave or as close a shave. The new lubricating razors I like. Bought one for my son and it really soothes your face.

It is an excellent razor. You might want to look at somme Youtube videos on wet shaving. It takes longer than the Gillette 5 blade razors, but done right you will not have ingrown hairs, and will get a close shave. The most important factor is using a good shaving soap - I use a brush and bowl to work up a good lather, and I use Derby blades which are not too sharp but work well. You might buy a sampler pack from Amazon and find which blades work for you. Don't be put off by the information. I will never go back to Gillette/Shick, etc razors. 100 blades costs me $10, shaving soap is cheap and I get a great shave each morning with a small cut a rarity. It is an excellent razor.

I only use this oil for shaving, when I have not shaved for a couple of days and have build up. I am not sure if you plan to leave this on your skin or not, but I would not do so, especially if you have oily skin already. For me, it makes the blade move easily across the hairs on my face, so they are not being pulled. I wash my face afterward, removing the oil, shaving cream and any loose hairs. (Just so you know, there isn't any fragrance to this oil at all). Next time, I think I'll just use olive oil from the kitchen. This almond oil has a heavier feel, which isn't necessary for me.

My husband uses this razor. I asked and he said he has had five shaves with one razor so far. He Loves his new razor, brush and soap that purchased for him. Hope this is helpful.

I'm even more late, but thought I'd add my 2 cents. I have used two norelco rotary shavers, two Braun foil shavers and a Panasonic foil. Hands down the best shave is from the Panasonic. One of the Norelco's is my first electric razor purchased back in 1994 and still running like new - now that is quality construction. However the shave closeness is not as good compared to more recent shavers and takes forever. The other norelco is a much newer one, one of their recent nivea lotion models. I can get a good shave out of it, but it lacks in comparison to the Panasonic, not as close and takes much longer. The Braun's both performed excellently, but always left me with irritation, and sometimes good burns too. Both were self-cleaning synchro shavers. If you want strictly dry shaving, Braun is a good choice. Panasonic, a fully immersible wet/dry electric, I may have never used this razor dry, I can't remember so I won't comment on that. i prefer wet shaving with a quality soap or cream and brush, in the shower. It always gives me an almost blade close shave, without any irritation or most importantly bleeding. It never looses power when confronted with dense growth unlike the norelco's. If I have 2 days growth the norelco motor is audibly and sensibly effected. The Panasonic is unaffected It's motor plows through anything. I have loved my Panasonic ES8228S so much, but have decided to upgrade to the ES-LA93K. Will the Panasonic be up on ebay, like the fate of my other dis-guarded razors? HELL NO! I will keep it for a rainy day, change of pace, in case the 93k explodes or some other act of God takes it from me. I will continue to love my ES8228S for it's lifetime. Seriously guys, it's that good.

I've been using it to shave my head every other day for the past two weeks. It does a great job. I've tried multiple kinds of cartridges and DE blades, but have never been able to go against the grain without a considerable amount of irritation, especially on the lower back of my head. Going with and/or across the grain never gave me a good shave. I can rub my head against the grain after a shave and can't feel any hair. There's not pulling or discomfort and takes the hair right off. I've tried the Panasonic ES-LA63-S and it seems to take many more passes than the 790cc.
