Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield Power coming up!
What's up, Guys? Paul D'Onofrio back
with you from GroomReviews where we're getting you comfortable, confident and
clean in grooming. So, I'm here back in my childhood home and I wanted to come back
here to see if I have any my old stuff in the drawers in my bathroom because my
parents like to keep everything that I had from 15 years ago. I wanted to see what
was in there and see if there's anything I could compare to what I'm using and
believe it or not this is not a setup or anything I just found this Schick
Quattro Power in the box from 2005 and what I've brought with me was this
Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield Power which says 2016 on it. This is out in the stores, this I
don't know if it even is out in the stores. I'm sure it's on Amazon but who knows
who's even selling this. You know, now that I got both here and they're both power
units you know why not compare them? Why not see what's happened over the span of
you know 10 plus years. I mean this one's got four blades on it, this one's got
five. I don't know if that's a marketing technique, I mean how many times you got
to really go over the same spot. You know they both got the battery in it so it
can vibrate and they say that extra vibration gets the hair to stand up. We're
gonna see what it does. Every so often they'll come out with these fancy
attachments, you know, this one's got the flexball on it, you know, to help you
move side-to-side. I've heard mixed reviews on that, they can move this way
that way. You know if you're shaving, shave down, you shave down. You don't have
to go all over the place unless your hair is growing all over the place. They
both have a guard on there that you know for sensitive skin or give you extra
lubrication. It's all marketing. We don't really know until we try it in her face,
see how it feels, are we getting cut, we getting nicked does it
feel smooth. So, we're just gonna try it out. For pricing I went to Walmart to check
this out. It was only $9.97. I picked up some of this Gillette Fusion ProGlide
Shaving Gel. It's 2-in-1. It's got the Alpine clean scent to it. It's for
sensitive skin and this was about $4.50. For these two, under $15. Not bad but
we're gonna see what it can do. You know they only give you one blade in
this box. There's a little precision trimmer they tell you about in the back.
It says lubrication before and after the blades. We got this. I'm gonna do both of these,
test them out and I'm gonna see which one feels smoother. Right side, we're gonna go
with the Gillette Fusion Five Proshield Power. Left side, we're gonna go with
the Schick Quattro Power. My left, my right. You might be looking at it and saying
why are you testing these two? This one's not even out, this one is. I'm seeing how
much the technology has really changed. I want to see if this is giving you any
added value over these years. All right guys so I'm just gonna pop this thing out.
There it is.
Let's open up the other one.
Power button. Let's see if this one actually has a battery in it
Nope.
Yes! Let's get the shaving cream. Some people put too much on they go
crazy. When you put too much of the shaving cream on there it just kind of
like loads, you know, loads up these blades really quickly. You get a lot of
gunk on there. You've go to rinse it off constantly. My recommendation would be to
use just a light layer on there. You see some people would be out to here but
there's no reason to do that. If you find you need more you can always add a
little bit more on there. Press the little button on top, squirt a little bit in
your hand and watch. You just take this, start rubbing it in until it's all
foamy. You just bring it to your face
See that's all I used. I just did that one little squirt and I covered the whole
thing in a thin layer. Got good coverage. We're gonna start with the Schick and then
we'll give the Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield Power a chance to prove itself at the end. So I got the
Schick. I'm gonna turn it on... ready to go
Now I'm gonna check how much is building up. Got quite a lot of
buildup in there, so I'm just gonna rinse that off. These power units you can
put in the water. And my hair, it's, I don't know if you could see it before but it's
actually you know growing in a little bit thicker than maybe most people would
have. They might have like finer stubble on there that's not as thick as what I have
See now, now you can really see it. So I'm gonna rinse this off, keep going.
Again, I gotta keep rinsing this one cause it keeps building up.
All right, so there you go, that's the Schick Quattro Power. Give it a feel for the
first time. Yep, that's smooth. I gotta say I do like this Gillette Fusion Proglide Alpine Clean shaving gel.
Leaves the skin feeling nice like cool sensation to it - it's got a nice smell.
Problem with this one you can just see it it just builds up the hair really
fast on there. Now, I know I have a lot of hair that I'm trying to take off of
there so it's normal because you have these blades that are so tight together
that's gonna build up. You gotta keep rinsing it but we're gonna see how this
now compares to the Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield Power. Turn it on.
Let's check the build up. So I can already feel as I'm going right now
like it's going smooth because it's just riding along the hair that's sitting on
there. It's not cutting anything more you gotta rinse it off. I do have to say that first clean off
with with the Fusion 5, it actually came off a lot easier than that Schick one. I
guess that's maybe an improvement in the technology over the years
Again, gotta stop. Got that buildup.
So I'm gonna go in and add a little tiny bit more cream underneath because it's
taking a few more passes than needed just cuz the hair was so thick in there.
Just a tiny bit, tiny, it's like nothing. Put it on there.
So there you go on that side. Let me feel it. It's pretty smooth. Unless you go and
start shaving up you're always gonna feel a little bit going that way. I just
put some more shaving gel on here because I want to show you guys that you
can go up with it. For people who aren't very comfortable with shaving with a
razor I wouldn't recommend doing it because it
feels like it's about to cut into your, probably your face or your cheek or take
something off but I'm gonna show you because if you do go against it you will
get that super you know really smooth both ways feel. But, I personally don't
need to do that. I'm fine going down feeling it smooth going down but I'm
gonna show you guys right now so. You can probably hear it so like right in here
you know you start to feel it tugging at it and you're like, is it gonna cut my
skin what's the deal so
This is how it used to be. Go down it feels smooth, go up, I don't know if you can hear it.
See go over here and you can feel that there's a difference it's it's more smooth both
ways, going down and going up. It's not comfortable shaming that way because
it really feels like it's tugging at you, you know you're lifting up these
hairs and it's tugging at the skin and you can feel it just like you know it's
pulling in away that's not that comfortable. I recommend going in, shave
it down first see, how you like that. If it feels fine, if you don't have a
problem with it, okay. But if you're sitting there and you're
like yeah I don't I don't want it to feel that way going up okay
at that point go in put on some more gel and go up. You're getting that same look
it's not like I can't still see you know some of this stubble. I'm seeing the
stubble on here you know It's under the skin but you can see that
darkness still see darkness over here, so you know, we're not getting like you know
like the color of my skin up here where the beard is. You're still gonna see stuff. As far
as this technology you know that the, with the flexible head where it moves back and forth like
this you know, I mean, it's fine. Where those original razors were kind of just
like fixed in position and you had to kind of like move it all around this one
has more flexibility up and down. But this one, you know it's got the up and
down and it's got the side-to-side. If you need it, you need it, if you don't, you
don't. It's not it's not that big of a deal to me because the Schick didn't have
it and I think the Schick worked just as good as the Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield Power. They both have the
power feature so that's nothing new. You know there's five blades on this. It
did it did have a better time rinsing off so I think the hairs are getting
through there easier than the Schick was so they must have separated the blades a
little bit. As far as the shave goes, um, you know they both feel exactly the same.
So, four blades, five blades, I don't think it really made any difference it's just
that the technology today, this is what people are going with. These little
lubrication guards that on there, those are fine. They help I can feel it
right now if I have nothing on here. You know it's keeping it smooth not going
nuts cutting into my skin so. Another thing on this unit is this little
precision trimmer I guess it's on the back. I guess if I had something over here I'd be able
to come into it like this. It's a good option if you need that little more precision.
You don't want to use, you know cuz this thing's big, so if you come in here you
got five of these things going at it, I guess that's what they're saying you're
coming, you're cutting with five. You go on the other side you just got that one
little blade in there, you can find the spot, you just try and you know go right
after it. This is the first time I used it so I'm not sure how quickly these blades
are gonna run out, how quickly you're gonna have to replenish them because
that's always where they get you. They get you, buy the unit you get the first
one or two for free maybe when you start. If you want to cut down on having to get
them too often, what you can do is make sure when you're done with this clean it
off good and then you dry it really well. You want to make sure you get all the
water and moisture out of there. The unit won't rust up you know won't get corroded.
So you can get it a little bit longer life out of this. For $10 you know
I'd definitely try it out. You can find it on Amazon. I'll give you guys a link, help me out going
through there if you want to purchase one of these. But as I said, you know, try
it out. I wouldn't go nuts with getting replacement blades yet. You know, see what
it's like for you. I'm gonna be testing out more of these as we go along in the
future. Different models, different brands so this is kind of the first time I'm
moving away from the Philips Norelco, now I'm trying a Gillette product. You know
it's a decent product but as I said it's been probably 10 plus years since
I've used one and comparing it to this which was you know 2005 there wasn't
much of a difference I'm sure you're gonna see other things that come out in
the future maybe six blade, eight blades, sixteen blades, who knows. I think it
might be overkill eventually I mean this, 5 could be overkill right now
because this one has four. So when there was a Mach 3 that was out people loved the
Mach 3. I had the Mach 3. I remember using that. I didn't have a problem with that
either. It's personal preference. Test it out. See what you think. This is my
personal review of what I think of this product. If you haven't already I
recommend you go into my previous video especially those who have maybe thicker
beards or trying to get like a shave in here going with the stubble. I use the
Philips Norelco OneBlade in two different videos. The first one I left my
beard thicker and just kind of trimmed it down. The second one I go and I take
off basically with every attachment I go down until
I have this goatee. So that's where I'm at now. That's why I'm able to come in
here now and show you what a razor can do. So, that's it. I hope you enjoyed this
video and you got something out of it. If you did, if you could like, comment,
subscribe I'd appreciate it. It goes a long way in helping the channel. We'd
like to continue to keep coming out with more videos that are helpful to you guys,
new products. Have additional people coming on that can test different parts
of the body as I mentioned in my previous video. So, I appreciate you guys
being here. Thanks again and I'll catch you next time
