Fusion razor

I've been using Fusion razor. The razor blades usually last about 1-2 months, but the "slippery strip" (just above the razor blades) is good only for about 4 shavings.

Is there a way to replace the strip but keep the razor blades??

Any advice or suggestions? The Fusion cartridge is very expensive!!!

I stopped using the fusion for my pubes as well. Too many razor bumps on my shaft, so bitches think I have the hivs and herps.

I've used mine for about 3 shaves (full chrome-dome) and the blue strip is gone. But long ago I got a Razr-savr thingy that is basically a piece of mirror glass. Drag the razor over that a few times after each shave and I get about 1 month out of each.

Real men can tough it out through a dull razor. Shaving in the shower, I've been using the same blade for multiple months. Still gives me smooth shaves, and I have pretty coarse hair on my face.

I've had a growing suspicion that a large number of members on this board are metro's. Hell, I even dry shave sometimes. Its not such a big deal.

+1 Mach3 Turbo.

Best there is right now. The fusion and the 3> razor blade counts are jut gimmicks. It gets to a point were why dont they just make a razor the size of your face, and it contours so you just put your entire face in there and squat down. INSTA-SHAVE!

^ This idea ranks up there with the Direct Exhaust Injection system.

it's all a marketing ploy, the $0.15 plastic one time use razors shave just as well.

While true, there is something to be said for the weight of the razor as well. Having alittle bit of weight gives you a more stable base to work with.

Honestly though, I would like to get into using the old school straight razor blade shavers.
