Personna EasyFit 5-Blade Fusion Refill Cartridges – 12 Count Personna EasyFit Fusion5 Razor Blade Refills - Compatible with all Fusion 5 Handles

As a value shopper, my 'white whale' is finding an inexpensive alternative to a necessity product that I have to buy regularly. This is that. Imagine finding a grocery store that sold the food you like at half the price, and there was no real down side. These blades are in most ways preferable to Gillette's overpriced replacement cartridges, and they cost around half as much. Really a life-changer if you have a thick beard like me and need all five blades when you shave.The biggest benefit is they seem significantly more durable than Gillette's cartridges. I can use one of these for weeks and barely notice any drop off in sharpness. With Gillette it seemed like there was a 10-14 day arc at the end of which you started cutting up your face a little. With these, it almost seems wasteful to switch them out since they're still going strong for weeks.The downside is they don't have a backward facing blade for precision trimming. They try to compensate by letting you flip back the top bar so the top most blade can serve as a trimmer, and that works okay but it's not quite as good. Still, overall it's a pretty minor concern, especially with the significantly greater durability of the cartridges overall, and the price being so much lower.Highly recommend.

I'm almost 67, so I've been shaving for a while. I've got relatively sensitive skin and have tried every cream, gel, butter, soap, etc., concoction on the market. I read a hack on the internet several years ago about using common hair conditioner for shaving. Let me tell you - solved my shaving sensitivity woes. The best part is it really doesn't matter which brand or how expensive - just pour some into your palm about the size of a quarter (25¢) and rub it all over your beard and start shaving. Ok, so how does this benefit the review of these Personna Gillette Fusion knock-off blades ? One of the things I've noticed since using hair conditioner for shaving is that razor blades don't clog, the don't seem to rust and they retain their sharpness longer. I've been using Personna blades and handles for years. I received a free Gillette Fusion razor with a Braun hair clipper set recently. I'm sure Gillette marketing hoped that I'd buy Gillette refills, but I'm too cost conscious. These Personna refills fit perfectly and work just as well - at roughly ½ the price of Gillette. The only downside I've ever experienced is they seem to dull more quickly than Gillette, but this does not seem to present a problem since using hair conditioner as a shaving cream. Win-Win situation! Hope this helps.

I've been a fusion user since they came out in 2006, and the only thing I've disliked about them was paying for them. I have tried every other less expensive option and always have been disappointed in the shave. Some are worse than others, but the sharpness and smoothness of shave from the fusion has always won. I'll admit that I'm pretty hard to please with a razor, and that I hate to shave, period. I just tried a Harry's free trial razor, finally thinking that all the talk can't be total hype, right? Way cool packaging, and cute sayings on an included rah rah card, a free sampler of Harry's shave gel (which I really like) and a nice looking razor handle with one 5 bladed cartridge on it. This razor was like taking an old fusion blade that was maybe 2 or 3 months old and shaving with it, maybe worse.So, I found these Persona Easy Fit blades for a good price, in a 12 pack, about $1.60 a cartridge or so, and they fit my fusion handle so I ordered a package to try. First shave, not too bad. Not nearly as sharp as the fusion, but for the price, not a total disappointment. Once again, the fusion rules but for the price. I could shave with these blades and probably be satisfied enough, except that I'm already ruined by the fusion. I wish I loved them, but I just like them. How Gillette can make a razor so blessed sharp and smooth and no one else can get close to that is a mystery that I'd like to solve. And, I found a 12 pack of the Gillette Fusion for $2.57 a cartridge, about a dollar more than the Personna package per cartridge, and honestly, that extra dollar buys me a whole lot more smoothness and comfort so I'm going to probably send these back and get the Gillette's. https://www.amazon.com/Gillette-Fusion-Razor-Blade-Cartridges/dp/B072LPZ9F6/ref=sr_1_11?crid=HMA8WL0IJRBR&keywords=gillette+fusion+12+cartridges&qid=1558382258&s=gateway&sprefix=gillette+fusion+12%2Caps%2C155&sr=8-11That is what I love about Amazon Prime. Not totally satisfied, send them back. I spend a lot of my paycheck at Amazon.com and am not shy about sending an item back if it isn't what I expected.Are these Personna razors a good deal? I mean, I gave them 4 stars. I'd say YES, compared to any other razor out there but the one I've been using since 06. And for the price, almost is pretty great.

I almost threw them away. The first shave cut me. I decided to try again. After the first day I never got cut again. And these blades last longer than Gillette blades. My first blade I used for almost two months and changed it. I really don’t know why because it was still shaving good. I didn’t like that it didn’t have the blade on the end for trimming. Then one day I accidentally pushed the plastic and there it was, hidden. I will definitely buy these again.
