Description

GILLETTE FUSION PROGLIDE

PRIMARY USES

1. Advanced 5-Blade Shaving System with FlexBall Technology
Primary Use: Provides a close, comfortable shave with five anti-friction blades featuring thinner, finer edges (first four blades) with advanced low-resistance coating for less tug and pull compared to Fusion razors, while FlexBall handle technology responds to facial contours to get virtually every hair .
How it helps: For the patient seeking a premium shaving experience, the five blades work together to cut hair efficiently with each stroke, reducing the need for multiple passes that can cause irritation. The blades are designed to be Gillette’s thinnest and finest ever, gliding through hair with less tug and pull . The FlexBall handle technology allows the razor head to swivel and adapt to individual facial contours, making it more comfortable to hold and manoeuvre, especially over tricky areas such as under the nose and the upper lip . For the patient, this means a more comfortable, precise shave with less effort and reduced risk of nicks and irritation.
2. Enhanced Lubrastrip for Smooth Glide and Replacement Indicator
Primary Use: Features a 25% larger enhanced Lubrastrip (compared to Fusion) containing more lubricants and a touch of mineral oil for a smooth glide over skin, which fades to white to signal when blade replacement is needed for optimal shave conditions .
How it helps: For patients concerned about shaving comfort, the larger lubrication strip releases lubricating polymers and mineral oil during shaving, reducing friction and helping the razor move smoothly over skin, even on repeat strokes . The visual indicator—fading to white—provides a clear cue for when the blade is no longer performing optimally, helping patients maintain a comfortable shave . For the patient, this means a smoother shaving experience and a simple way to know when to change cartridges.
3. Precision Trimmer for Styling and Hard-to-Reach Areas
Primary Use: Includes a precision trimmer on the back of the cartridge, designed for accurate edging and styling facial hair, particularly in tricky areas such as sideburns and under the nose .
How it helps: For patients who maintain facial hair or want precise lines, the single blade on the back of the cartridge allows for detailed grooming without the risk of accidentally shaving off areas they wish to keep. This is particularly useful for shaping beards, moustaches, and sideburns . For the patient, this provides a versatile tool that combines a close shave with precise styling capability.
4. Streamlined Comfort Guard and Blade Stabilisation for Skin Protection
Primary Use: Features a Streamlined Comfort Guard with six port channels that help clear excess shave prep and create a gentle stretch of the skin for closeness, while a blade stabiliser maintains optimal blade spacing for exceptional comfort .
How it helps: For patients with sensitive skin, the Comfort Guard prepares the skin ahead of the blades by gently stretching it and clearing away excess shaving cream, ensuring optimal blade contact . The blade stabiliser maintains consistent blade spacing, allowing the blades to adjust to facial contours while preventing uncomfortable pressure points . For the patient, this means a close, comfortable shave that is gentle on the skin.
5. Compatible with All Fusion Handles with Up to 30 Shaves Per Cartridge
Primary Use: All Fusion ProGlide blades fit all Fusion and Fusion Power razor handles (excluding GilletteLabs), with each blade refill providing up to 30 shaves based on three shaves per week .
How it helps: For the patient, compatibility with existing Fusion handles means they can upgrade to ProGlide blades without purchasing a new handle . The long-lasting blade performance (up to 30 shaves per cartridge) offers good value for money . For the patient, this means flexibility and cost-effectiveness.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

  • Sharp blade hazard: Contains extremely sharp blades. Keep out of reach of children. Store cartridges in a secure location where children cannot access them.
  • Do not use on irritated skin: Avoid shaving over moles, pimples, cuts, rashes, or irritated skin. This may cause injury or aggravate existing skin conditions.
  • Proper technique: Use light pressure and allow the pivoting head to follow facial contours. Pressing down too hard increases the risk of nicks and cuts.
  • Blade replacement: Replace cartridges when the Lubrastrip fades to white or when the shave feels dull. Using a dull blade increases the risk of razor burn and skin irritation.
  • Do not tap razor: Tapping the razor against hard surfaces to remove hairs can damage the blade edges and affect performance.
  • Dry storage: Allow the razor to dry thoroughly between uses to maintain blade performance and prevent bacteria growth.
  • Post-shave care: Rinse face with cold water after shaving and apply moisturiser to soothe and hydrate the skin.

2. FIRST AID MEASURES

  • Cuts or nicks: Rinse the wound with cold water, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or tissue to stop bleeding. If bleeding persists or the cut is deep, seek medical attention.
  • Skin irritation (mild): Discontinue use if persistent redness, burning, or rash develops. Apply a soothing, alcohol-free moisturiser. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional.
  • Eye contact: If shaving gel or lubricants from the cartridge contact the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of lukewarm water for several minutes. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.
  • Allergic reaction (severe - hives, swelling, difficulty breathing): This is extremely rare with razor products. Discontinue use immediately and seek emergency medical attention if symptoms develop.

3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

  • Flammability: The razor and cartridges are not flammable. However, plastic packaging may burn if exposed to open flame.
  • Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide (CO₂).
  • Fire Response: For small fires involving packaging, use an appropriate extinguisher. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for fires involving burning plastics.
