I'm testing out the Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield Power vs Schick Quattro Power from 2005 to see how well these razors can shave a stubble beard and how smooth of a shave I can get. Since both shaving units are power, a beard shaving comparison review was necessary.
The Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield Power touts its 5 bladed razor, flexball swivel head, precision trimmer and lubrication before and after the blades, while the Schick Quattro Power stands its ground with just 4 blades.
I start by shaving my beard with the Schick Quattro Power, then the Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield Power. As I start shaving with the Schick Quattro Power, hair builds up in the square shaped ridges of the razor blades and the unit needs constant rinsing. The Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield Power also required the need to rinse the razor blades several times; however, the blades are spaced more efficiently to allow for easy clean off of the beard hair from the razor.
I put the Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield Power up against the Schick Quattro Power to see how these two beard shaving razors compare head-to-head and to see if 10+ years of new technology makes any difference in the quality and smoothness of the shave.
Both the Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield Power and the Schick Quattro Power created near identical feelings of smoothness on the face. But the advantage with the Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield Power was seen in the ease of beard hair rinse and longer time between clogs. The precision trimmer was also a handy feature for those needing to shave the sideburns or shave tight sections along their beard where one blade works best instead of five.
After shaving down, I demonstrate shaving upwards against the beard hairs to achieve a super smooth feel on the cheeks. For those new to shaving, shaving upwards against the hairs of your beard can feel uncomfortable and intimidating as the razor grabs at the beard hair on your face and feels like it may cut into your skin. But shaving down against the beard first is where to start. Once you are comfortable shaving with a razor, try shaving your beard in the upward direction.
Overall, the Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield Power is a nice little trimmer for your beard. As with most Gillette shaving products competing for an edge, this razor is no different. It’s flexball technology and five bladed razors are great for marketing the product, but the Schick Quattro Power lacked both and still put up an even match.
For approx. $9.95 on Amazon for the Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield Power and approx. $4.50 for the Gillette Fusion Proglide Sensitive Skin Alpine Gel, at under $15 total, I highly recommend you pick up this razor and shaving cream for a test to see what you think. Especially after using only a tiny bit of the Gillette Fusion Proglide Sensitive Skin Alpine Gel and seeing how many more shaves I am going to get out of the can.
For it's price, you cannot pass up Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield Power. It will get you a great shave and the Gillette Fusion Alpine Gel will leave your skin feeling refreshed. Good Luck!

Great video! Love the comparison of the Gillette Fusion 5 to the Schick. I actually use the Schick Quattro for women, which only uses 4 ultra-thin blades and is around the same price point as the Gillette Fusion 5. After seeing this detailed video, I'm thinking I want to test out the Gillette Fusion 5 on my legs to see if the 5 blades make a difference for me. Love that you give added explanation for us community members out there. I see a ton of videos that just glance over the product quickly and don't add any value to my viewing experience. I'm sure most males see this video, but even as a woman, I found it helpful. Kudos to you and keep up the good work!

Thanks so much for the positive feedback. I really appreciate it. I hadn't thought about using the Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield for a woman's legs, but now that you mention it, it could be a good test on an upcoming video. I plan to have some female collaborators in the future that it might be valuable to have demonstrate the difference they see between the Schick Quattro for women and the Gillette Fusion 5 when shaving their legs and any other parts of the body. I'm glad that this video was helpful to you! Thanks for watching and keep an eye out for more videos! Good Luck!

Indeed light layer of shaving gel or foam also shorter strokes rens often also use the single blade on the back for the edges of the Goatee and sideburns...my advice first gel or foam then with the grains ...one more time gel or foam do cross the grain one way, then cross the grain the other way...last more gel or foam then against the grain...a tip when blade feels dull then search on youtube how to sharpen your cartdrige razor blade or just how to sharpen your raor plenty of videos on how to extend the life of your razor ;)

Thanks for your insights. I'm curious if you are handy with a safety razor? Sounds like you utilize one of the better techniques used when shaving with one. I appreciate your addition to the community.Thanks for watching!
