A guide to Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide blades and compatibility

Keep your shaving routine ready with Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide replacement blades. Each cartridge has five blades, lubricating strips, an EverGlide strip and FlexBall technology to help follow facial contours for a smoother-feeling shave. Microfins and a microcomb prepare and guide hairs, while the rear precision trimmer helps tidy edges and reach tricky areas. This 16-pack suits regular shavers looking for a neat finish and works with Fusion5, Fusion5 ProGlide and ProShield handles, but not Gillette Labs handles; each cartridge provides up to 30 shaves.

How to Choose the Right Razor Blade Refills

Start by checking that a refill matches your razor handle, then compare comfort, control and ongoing cost. The right choice depends on your shaving routine, skin sensitivity and how often you replace blades.

Key Features to Consider

Use these criteria to narrow down compatible refills and find an option that suits your needs:

  • Handle compatibility: Check the refill’s stated razor system before buying; cartridges that look similar may not fit the same handle. If you are unsure, compare the model name on your handle with the compatibility information on the pack.
  • Shaving comfort and control: Consider features such as a lubricating strip, a pivoting cartridge or a precision trimmer, and choose based on where and how you shave. If you have sensitive skin, prioritise a comfortable glide and use light pressure rather than assuming that more blades will automatically suit you better.
  • Pack size and value: Compare the price per refill, not just the total pack price, and consider how quickly you use blades. A larger pack can be convenient, but check that you can store the refills dry and replace them when they no longer shave comfortably.

A Smoother Shave, with Precision in Every Pass

Five Blades and a Glide-Ready Design

Each Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide cartridge features five sharp blades for a close, comfortable shave. Lubricating strips before and after the blades help the razor glide across your skin, while the EverGlide strip adds to the smooth feel of each pass. Microfins help smooth the skin before shaving, and a microcomb guides hairs towards the blades, bringing several thoughtful details together for a refined everyday shave.

FlexBall Control for Contours and Detail

FlexBall technology helps the blades follow facial contours, supporting a close-feeling shave across the natural curves of your face. For areas that call for extra precision, the cartridge’s rear precision trimmer is designed for detailing and hard-to-reach spots, helping you shape a neat finish around sideburns and other facial hair. Together, these features make it easy to tailor your shaving routine, whether you’re covering larger areas or adding the finishing touches.

A 16-Pack for Shaves That Keep Going

With 16 replacement cartridges in the pack, you can keep your shaving routine well stocked and ready for everyday grooming. Each cartridge can provide up to 30 shaves, giving you plenty of use from every blade. The cartridges are compatible with Fusion5, Fusion5 ProGlide and ProShield razors, making it straightforward to pair them with a suitable handle you already use. It’s a convenient way to enjoy a comfortable shave and a neat finish, day after day.

Replacement Razor Blades: Who Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide Suits

Replacing Compatible Fusion5 Cartridges

If you use a Fusion5, Fusion5 ProGlide or ProShield razor and need replacement cartridges, these fit your handle; they are not compatible with Gillette Labs handles. Swap one in to keep your familiar shaving routine going and maintain a neat finish.

Shaving Around Facial Contours

When your facial contours make it harder to follow the shape of your face, FlexBall technology helps the blades move with those contours for a comfortable shave. You get a more consistent feel as you shave across different areas of your face.

Tidying Edges And Hard-To-Reach Areas

When your routine includes detailing or awkward-to-reach spots, use the rear precision trimmer to tidy them. The microcomb guides hairs towards the blades and the microfins smooth your skin before shaving, helping you finish with a neat look.

Keeping Replacement Cartridges On Hand

If you prefer to keep replacements ready for your regular shaving routine, this 16-pack gives you a supply to draw on, and each cartridge can provide up to 30 shaves. You can keep your routine stocked for longer before needing another pack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide blades fit a ProShield or Gillette Labs razor?

These Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide replacement cartridges fit Gillette Fusion5, Fusion5 ProGlide and ProShield handles. They do not fit Gillette Labs handles, so check the name on your handle before choosing a refill. Each cartridge has five blades, lubricating strips and a rear precision trimmer for everyday shaving and detail work.

How many shaves can I get from a 16-pack of Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide blades?

Each cartridge can provide up to 30 shaves, so this 16-pack offers up to 480 shaves in total. Actual use varies with shaving frequency and how quickly the EverGlide lubricating strip fades. Replace a cartridge when the strip starts to fade or shaving feels unusually uncomfortable to keep your routine comfortable.

How should I clean and handle Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide razor blades safely?

Handle the rear precision trimmer carefully: its blade is extremely sharp, so avoid touching the blade edge and do not move the razor sideways across your skin. Rinse the cartridge under running water during and after shaving; do not wipe it or tap it on the sink. Let it air-dry fully in a dry place and store it out of children's reach.
