Flexball?

[TheFutureDoctor]

This is mainly for anyone who has knowledge about the Fusion Pro Glide razors. I was looking them up and there is this Flexball thingy that goes side to side.

It is a gimmick isn't it? I mean who shaves in those strokes?? We use straight strokes all the time.
For those who have used the Flexball, does it really make a difference? Is it worth paying extra for it?

Ive used it, it dosnt make a diffrence for me really and ive used gillette mach 3s and even straight razors so im pretty experienced ahah. Yeah i think its a gimick but if its what you wanna try then go ahead.

I think you're right. Here in the UK, at least, there are two major competitors in the wet razor market: Gillette and Wilkinson Sword. They both see themsleves as premium brands so they're not about to have a price war so how do they complete: try to convince you their product is better than the other and when they've run out of things that make a worthwhile improvement they'll do anything that looks like it may have a benefit without any evidence it does.

I am also sure this is another case where there is a certain minimum standard to do the job properly and thereafter the law of diminishing returns applies - you can spend a lot more money and the result is only marginally better.

So it costs about an American dollar more than the proglide one. Not a problem to buy it for me. It is decent I hope?
In India we only get Gillette and Schick which is imported so damn costly. So it's a question of Mach 3 vs fusion. I have already tried Mach 3 so I wanna give this a try

It is supposed to pivot to match the contour of your face.

It is supposed to pivot to match the contour of your face.

Or other body parts that you shave, some of which are difficult at best.

I use it and honestly I don't think there's a huge difference. The only reason I use it is because it's the one my dad got me... if you have the option use something more simple that costs less.

How exactly?? I mean cmon we all guys use straight strokes Anyway . Why will it need to be side and side then?

[Kevgpdx]

Wow. So technical. I guess I need a fancier razor. Haha I just use a standard one and I get stubble pretty easy if I do tell shave every few days.
