Gillette Fusion Razor Cartridge Refills, 6 count

Due to the higher cost of Gillette I tried Harry's razors and was disappointed with them. Back to Gillette I went. Instead of my customary ProGlide I bought Fusion because of the lower price.. Terrible mistake -- Harry's performed better cost-wise. IF I ever again buy Gillette it will NOT be Fusion.

I have been using the Gillette Fusion5 Razor Blades for years!! Seems like lately it's a waste of money. The strip at the top falls off after 2 days of shaving. It used to last me almost 2 weeks. I thought maybe I got a bad package with defective razors so I bought another package of the refills. They were now made with a black PLASTIC piece that connects to the razor handle. They are made even more cheaper than before. So the past month, I have spent $50 on refills for my Gillette Fusion5 razor and I'm switching to Harry's.

I had originally bought another Gillette razor and was very happy with the quality of both the handle and the blades. After I used the last blade I replaced them with the Fusion blades. The brand new bland is so dull that it shaves like an old discarded blade. The old blades would last a few weeks, but the new blades are so dull that they only last a few days. I would get more use out of disposable razors than I am from these expensive blades. I am extremely disappointed with the quality of this product and am very close to just throwing the rest of the blades in the trash.

The difficulty in changing blades on this razor completely baffles me. There is no way I can get the new blade to snap into the handle. I therefore ask: Has this been tested before going to market? To me it looks unlikely and I wont be buying another.

I ordered these because of the low cost/blade. However, this was negated by the short life of each blade/lubricating strip compared to Gillette packaged/branded blades. This appears to be due to the fact that the blades come in a cardboard box containing 4 hard plastic cases of 4 blades each which are exposed to the elements as opposed to Gillette branded/packaged blades which are sealed in a hard plastic case so they stay "fresh" until you actually take them out of the case. Once I finish using these I will go back to purchasing 4 packs of Gillette blades.
