by Editors of Which? magazine
In this extensive report, the U.K.'s Which? magazine compares six men's cartridge-based and disposable razors with 48 testers and over 700 shaves. The top finisher is the Gillette Fusion Power Phenom, which… "gives an exceptionally close shave." Reports show that it outperforms all other tested razors on durability and closeness of shave. This is one of the few reviews that comes down in favor of the battery-powered Fusion rather than the manual version of the razor.

In this undated review, the staff of this Australian men's site rates and reviews seven razor brands. The top finisher is the Gillette Mach3 Turbo, "arguably still the best cartridge razor on the market, in… terms of comfort, performance, ease of use and value for money." The Bic Classic Sensitive finishes last for its "really tough, irritating and unenjoyable shave," and the Schick Quattro razor doesn't do much better.
by Hunter R. Slaton
Hunter R. Slaton tries four types of razors: disposable, cartridge, safety and straight razors. It's clear he tested each of these personally, but the comparisons are more about the types of razors; he… doesn't test multiple models of the same type. Though he admits straight razors and safety razors have an elegant and nostalgic appeal, the five-bladed Gillette Fusion manual razor is best for its "impossible-to-screw-up" and nick-free shave, even though he doesn't like the looks of the handle design. The Bic Comfort 3 Advance is chosen in the disposable category. He says the Bic is inexpensive and effective, but must be used slowly to avoid cuts.

Consumer Reports recruits 26 men to test Gillette's claim that their five-blade Fusion Razor "helps reduce pressure for less irritation and more comfort." Men compared either the manual or battery-powered… Fusion with their regular shavers, then were asked whether they would switch. Most were ambivalent. The report doesn't indicate what the tester's regular razors were, but does note the high-priced drawback of the Fusion compared to the tester's usual products.

ShaveReview.com's editors compile descriptions of various razors and shaving products. The site gives pros and cons of each razor based on individual preference. Most of the discussion revolves around the… five-bladed Fusion, the four-bladed Schick Quattro and the three-bladed Mach3. The Mach3 is said to have the "best blade" even though the reviewer says he still likes the Fusion. Reviews of the Schick Quattro Titanium favor the design and the price, but say the razor's best suited for fine hair.

by "Jeffrey the Barak"
In this amusing article, an anonymous reviewer compares the Gillette Mach3, Gillette Venus and Schick Quattro for their effectiveness in removing body and facial hair. He says the Venus did better than the… Mach3 in certain areas (like the armpits), but the Mach3 offers a closer, more comfortable shave. He says the Schick Quattro is virtually impossible to cut yourself with, but downgrades it because it won't fit in a Razorba, a long handle designed for back shaving.

by "Joel"
In this in-depth essay complete with photographs, shaving enthusiast "Joel" compares two vibrating cartridge razors: the Schick Quattro Titanium Power and Gillette Fusion Power. After using each razor for… two weeks straight (with a variety of shaving creams and lotions), he's not impressed with either one, saying they only gave a "superb" shave the first two or three times. If "pressed, his preference goes to the Fusion as a bit more forgiving and easier to use, while the Schick shaved closer, with more irritation. He recommends buying the non-powered versions.
by Luofei Deng
Luofei Deng compares the five-blade Gillette Fusion with the four-blade Schick Quattro razor. He says the Fusion provides a closer shave, and also points out that it's more flexible, since its hinge is at… the bottom of the cartridge (the Quattro is hinged in the middle). He concludes, though, that "neither of these razors provides the quantum leap forward in shaving that came with the Mach3. In fact, if you own a Mach3 (or any of its variants), you do not have much reason to go out and get either of these razors."

About 85 owners weigh in on the five-blade Gillette Fusion razor, giving it an average rating of 3.5 out of five stars. As you might expect, some users rave about this product, while a substantial minority… are disappointed. We also found many unfavorable comparisons here to the three-blade Gillette Mach3. The battery-powered version of the Fusion is also reviewed here, with pretty much the same comments.
