I've been looking to try some different razors other than my Vision and I read some reviews over here at B&B about how good the Gillette Fusion Power was so I went off and bought one. I took out to shave with it and to compare it to my Vision. Prep, and everything else was exactly the same, except I only needed one N-S pass to reduce my beard sufficently instead of my normal two. I probably could have cut out by diagnol N-S as well since I got so close from just the first pass.
Impressions:
The GOOD - I got a great comfortable shave, on par with some of my best DE shaves. I got really close, just as close as a DE with less work though. Almost no irritation too. It gives you a quick good shave.
The BAD - The single blade on the back is difficult to use to figure out the angle it is cutting at. This is the only thing that caused noticable irritation during. I also feel a bit more irritation under my chin than normal where I didn't use the single blade. As far as razor bumps go, I'll have to wait and see as they usually take a couple of hours to show up fully. Finally, I got one little knick that seemed to bleed a lot more than the nicks I occasionally get from the DE.
FINAL IMPRESSION - Definitely a good comfortable shaver. Great for when you're in a rush. I can seriously cut 1-2 passes out with this thing easy. Now, I won't use this daily but it is defintely something I'll throw into my rotation. I'm curious to see if I'll get any irritation next time especially if I don't use the single blade.
