Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide Shield Power Razor — 1 Power Handle + 1 Refill, FlexBall & Precision Trimmer

Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide Shield Power is a battery-powered men's razor with a FlexBall handle, 5 anti-friction blades, enhanced lubrication before and after the blades, and a precision trimmer for a closer, more comfortable shave.

Engineered to combine closeness and skin comfort, the ProGlide Shield Power adds two layers of lubrication and soothing micropulses to reduce friction while the FlexBall handle follows facial contours. The cartridge’s five thin blades, microfins and a microcomb prepare and guide hairs for an even shave, and the precision trimmer on the back tackles sideburns, under-nose areas and styling details. One refill delivers up to about a month of shaves, and the power handle accepts all Gillette five-blade refills (excluding GilletteLabs).

How does the FlexBall handle improve shave coverage?

The FlexBall system lets the razor pivot to maintain blade contact over curved areas like jawlines and the chin. That dynamic movement helps the blades track hairs more consistently so fewer strokes are needed for the same closeness.

• Pivoting handle follows facial contours for more contact.
• Fewer missed hairs on complex angles such as the neck and chin.
• Improved glide reduces tugging and repeated passes.

What role do the battery-powered micropulses and 2x lubrication play?

Micropulses deliver gentle vibrations that lower friction between skin and blades, making each stroke feel smoother. The enhanced lubrastrip before and after the blades offers extra glide and skin protection during and immediately after the shave.

• Soothing micropulses help minimize drag for a gentler pass.
• Lubrastrip adds continuous lubrication to reduce irritation risk.
• Combined effect supports comfortable close shaves on sensitive areas.

How do the blades and microfins contribute to a close shave?

The cartridge uses five closely spaced, anti-friction blades that slice hair near skin level for longer-lasting smoothness. Microfins gently stretch and smooth the skin while a microcomb guides stubble into the cutting path so the blades cut more efficiently.

• Five thin blades deliver consistent closeness with less pressure.
• Microfins smooth skin to position hairs before cutting.
• Microcomb aligns hairs for fewer missed strands and cleaner results.

Is the precision trimmer useful for styling and hard-to-reach spots?

The narrow-edge trimmer on the back of the cartridge is designed for detail work: edging sideburns, shaping facial hair and trimming under the nose. It complements the main blade unit so you can switch between broad shaving and fine grooming without changing tools.

• Thin trimmer edge for accurate lines and touch-ups.
• Great for sideburns, moustache edges and under-nostril work.
• Easy flip between main blades and trimmer for versatile grooming.

Who is this for: The Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide Shield Power is aimed at men seeking a balance of closeness and comfort—especially those with sensitive skin or tricky facial contours. It suits daily shavers who value fewer passes and reliable skin protection, and anyone who wants a single power handle compatible with Gillette five-blade refills for ongoing convenience.
