 The ONLY razor for gamers.Mar 02, 2009
By T. Johnson
"tojo2000"
Kudos to Gillette for being the first company to recognize that the stubble created by days of gaming cannot be shaven by any ordinary tool made by modern man. In the 80's, many a man succumbed to "Donkey Kong Beard", a near-fatal illness which would befall only the most frequent denizens of the mall arcade. Now, a much more lethal malady, Halo sideburns, threatens to nip the lives of our most precious resource, our post-pubescent children, in the proverbial bud. Please, protect someone you love. Buy them the Gillette Razor Power, Fusion Gamer today. Nothing else will combat Gamer Stubble.

 Works, but tinged with hate and fearMar 02, 2009
By Robert O'Gwynn
I tried to buy the Gillette Razor Power, Fusion Gamer(tm) from Best Circuit Shack, but one of the beflippered gnomes who toil there refused to sell it to me.
When I approached the counter to purchase this clearly superior shaving wand, "Doug" began to hammer me with questions. "What's your favorite game? What are the other names of Jenova? How many alts do you have in WoW? Have you ever run a CS server?" Flustered, I could only stammer out thin excuses. "Doug" grew suspicious and hustled me into the back. There he strapped me down to an Ultimate Game Chair(tm) and poured Mountain Dew Game Fuel(tm) into my ears until I confessed I only owned a second-hand Dreamcast.
They kicked me out, taunting me as I left defeated. However, once in the car, I managed to drive at twice the speed of Twitter and bought a Gillette Razor Power, Fusion Gamer(tm) from Target, cleverly bookending it with a bag of Cheetos(tm) and a copy of "Puru Puru Ne Sho Ma Machinehead Samurai Kitty". The unsophisticated checkout girl never thought to ask, and she practically smiled at me.
I went home and shaved. My chin is now hairless.
In summary, the Gillette Razor Power, Fusion Gamer(tm) is a good razor, but it is prejudiced against non-power gamers. 3 stars.

Not as good as the Gamestop Collector's EditionMar 02, 2009
By Sine Nomine
"pubwookie"
I'm a little disappointed in that the sixth blade that came with the Gamestop Collector's Edition was not available for purchase at least as downloadable content for those who didn't pre-order. My only hope now is to find one used as a trade-in. The blade works so-so when shaving while playing Left4Dead, and the actual blood spurting from your neck when you yank it accidentally during a surprise zombie rush really adds to the realism.
Bonus for those people still playing with CRT screens -- the reflective glass works like a mirror so you can shave without having to use the EyeToy or Live Vision Camera to see yourself, and since the razor runs on batteries, you can even do this during a power outage with sufficient candle light in front of your TV.

 Marketing Gone Wild!May 15, 2009
By Bill Nicholas
Way back, shortly after the first 2 blade razor came out, Saturday Night Live did a "parody" commercial introducing a 3 blade razor, which, apparently, they thought would be ridiculous. The tag line to the commercial was, Because you'll believe anything. Gillette apparently took them to heart and have been proving it ever since. I started shaving when all there was were single blade razors. When the 2 blade razor came out, I thought it was a significant improvement and have been using one ever since. I tried a 3 blade razor and I think there was a slight improvement, but not enough to make me change. Now I get this 5 blade plus 1 razor and I'm thinking this has desperation written all over it. Poor Gillette marketing department! Imagine having to come up with new ways to increase revenue, significantly, from a product that still does basically the same thing it always has. The pressure they must be going through now! What could possibly be next? Seriously? Gillette's ads for this thing are trying to convince us that 5 blades are better than 3. If it is, it's proven in minute details of highly controlled laboratory tests. On Rats. Believe me, there is nothing better here.
Pros:
Baby smooth skin for 12 hours - Got to admit, the smoothness is uncanny, but it doesn't last long. I suppose if you had a hot date a smooth face would be appreciated in some situations.
Cons:
Price - I was surprised to see you could get replacement cartridges for an average of $2.38 each in Amazon. The price I saw in my local supermarket was almost $4 each. Still, I can get my Sensor II blades for an average of $1.23 each and they shave smooth enough for the wife (no hot dates here). Maybe a Fusion Power lasts twice as long (I don't think so), but even so, I could change my Sensor IIs twice as often, spend the same and still have a close shave.
Lack of sensory perception - This is the main reason I don't like these mega razors: I can't feel them on my face. If these were a car, they would be '79 Cadillacs, whose road feel was so isolated the only way you knew the car turned was by a change in scenery. I cannot tell where the razors are on my face and the vibrating feature makes it completely numb. I tend to spend more time shaving with this thing because I have to double check with my fingers to make sure I get the spot I wanted.
It's HUGE - I uploaded a picture of 3 blades side by side (guess I missed the 4 blade models). Talk about blade creep! The Fusion Power is simply huge. This is another reason I don't like these: they can't maneuver enough to get in tight spots on your face. I sent an e-mail to Gillette complaining about this problem on their M3 Power razor and they admitted it was a problem (they suggested I also shave with a Gillette Sensor to get the tight spots). The reason the Fusion Power has a 6th blade on the back is to solve this problem.
Other annoyances - There is no apparent reason it is called "Gamer." I guess it's just another crazy marketing idea. There is no mention of Gamer or what it means anywhere else on the box. I see they also have a "Phantom" and "Phenom" version. What? Are you supposed to collect the whole series or something? One other problem is that the placement of the on/off button is such that I sometimes turn it off when I'm shaving up my face.
Overall, don't waste your money. There is nothing better about this product; it's just Marketing Gone Wild!

 Paragon level Daily PowerMar 03, 2009
By Esgaldil
As a eunuch dwelling in my sainted mother's basement, I have little problem with hair growth - unwanted or otherwise. I must commend this product for its Daily Power, though - at the mere cost of a Healing Surge, I can make a dwarf look like an overgrown halfling, and dragonborn scales shear right off as well. This Razor is versatile and powerful, and the fusion power is the envy of all the Utah chemists. Wish me luck, I'm taking on a den of Shifters in the morning...
