@@averageguytested yes. Match 5 Gillette. That was their first 5 blame model. is the model with the battery. That was the first model. The one that vibrates. For me that works fine because it does not erratically screw my skin
Hi, my name is Meir from Israel I watch your videos And I wanted to ask you which of all the Gillette razors and razors is the most comfortable to use I tried a Panasonic electric machine, not so experienced and also makes wounds. I have now switched to the new giilette double blade knife I haven't tried the heating one, it doesn't seem useful to me, the company every time releases a new gimmick with the same knives. So in your opinion, which Gillette can you really say is the best?
I think that Gillette makes great razors - but based on what you’ve said here I’d say that you should try the SKINGUARD or stick with the old Mach3. To me, less blades are better.
Hey Thanks for the comment I think he continued to shave with the Gilt Fusion Felix Ball Power. You also discovered that a brush for applying the shaving cream helps to lift the hairs and thus shaving is easier And in addition, it is always better to shave after showering In addition, what is your opinion on gillette labs, is there a difference in shaving with this knife compared to Gillette Fusion Felix Ball or is it a new gimmick by Gillette to sell something new, In addition, in the new model I have already seen that the coating of the handle tends to peel off.

theMediaMart I tried the Gillette fusion pro glide with more blades on my legs but it gets too many hairs caught up in it and not as easy to move around the crevices of my legs and knees as a female. I prefer the Mach 3 more as it’s smaller and only needs a pass etc. find the Gillette with more blades just isn’t as good tbh and gotta rinse it out way more More hairs get stuck Takes longer not easy to manoeuvre around my legs but ye
I used it already. It was really good. The second level of heat is really 🔥 lol. The only thing it does have is the vibration. So far, so good. Lol..Once again, thanks.
theMediaMart I use some nice expensive good quality DE razors and honestly nothing compares to the Mach 3 to me... closest and smoothest shave. I tried the defender. It’s nice, but it kinda pulls a little. Blades don’t feel as sharp.
I was reading you need to shave slow with it? I'm a fast shaver at 5:30 AM not sure if this is for me. I am also wondering what ever happened to that shave foam from many years back that would self heat called "The Hot One"
I've been out of the Gillette news cycle since 1998 when the Mach 3 came out. Used it for a few years to 2006. Then switched over to DE Gillette razors and have a nice collection. I went to an estate sale and seen the Gillette ProGlide Flexball razor new in the box and thought "Whoa whats this?" Brought i home and by lick my wife was using the Fusion blades that fit onto this ProGlide Flexball. Thought why not. OOOOH BOY what a shave. Beautiful shave. No knicks, blood and most of all NOT A HINT of razor "burn". Usually when I shave some areas I am a little bit aggressive with the DE razor. But with this ProGlide Flexball I was astounded. Amazing shave. Didn't care for th vibration feature as that left my finger numb. A gimmick to me. I am curious about this heated razor now that I've gone down the rabbit hole. A lot has changed in almost 20 years. Wow. Amazing.
You have to try the Exfoliating Bar razor from GilletteLabs! It uses the same type of carts that work with the heated razor and they are super smooth. Thanks for watching 👋🏽
Expensive but worth it in the end The best shave I have ever gotten in my life no nicks no cuts just a warm comfortable shave 5 stars all the way down well worth the money!
@@redscorpion9325 While I completly agree, I'd still like to try this because the heating element's very different from anything else out there. That said, I'm not gonna drop $149 to find out.

I'm a safety razor user but out of curiosity picked up a Harry's razor. I stuck with the traditional method of an artisan soap (Stirling) and brush so the razor could perform at it's best.

Any ingrown hair the next Day or same day? I’m prone to acne and red bumps no matter WHAT razor. I’m in the military and I have to shave everyday. HELP!
I'm also in law enforcement and need to be clean every day. I used to use a razor but now I use an electric foil shaver. Does the trick and I don't get near the redness, irritation or ingrown hairs. Picked one up at Walmart for 50 bucks! Does the trick for me
Tony, where and how do I send you stuff? I may have a something to send you by the end of the month. I am a sucker for good marketing and packaging, too!
Great review. Like how you mentioned that you are not considering price in the review but maybe you should consider talking about it. Sure it’s a luxury, but luxuries should still be fairly priced
Usually luxurious items are higher priced than everyday items. Even the exfoliating razor is a luxury item. I would say the fusion 5 or the mach 3 are normal everyday items compared to this. And sometimes you can get it for around 110 US
@@AP-qu8slthey are the same blades as the Gillette labs exfoliating bar razor. Gillette claims 20 shaves per cartridge. I usually go 23 shaves before it becomes uncomfortable but I’m sure if you have a face of steel you could go for a month or more. I would just rather have less irritation so 23 is my number. Some guys I would say 18-20 shaves depending on how fast their hair grows back and how thick it is.
@@averageguytested they’re razors with the blade built in. But then diamonds DON’T wear out, so it’s practically a one time buy. Entry level ones cost around $200,000.
It’s the best feeling and the perfect temp. I agree that you could heat up your traditional blades - but this is pure luxury and the best shave I’ve had. I agree the product is pricey. Thanks for watching👍🏽
You would have to use very, very hot water and constantly reheat your razor to match to continuous heat provided by this razor. I got away from shaving because I grew a beard, but I decided to shave with this razor for my vacation in April and I was not disappointed at all. It is still very expensive, but hey, if you want it....go for it.
Top review Tony. Yeah it's a luxury item but it's something different. I do enjoy my DE. Will be interesting to see if they bring our future cheaper iterations. Have you seen Wilkinson Sword/Schick answer to the Philips Norelco One Blade? Finally thanks to you for reviewing this and to the Vance family for making it happen.
I couldnt spend this amount of money on a cartridge razer, but then again i think the Panasonic arc5 was well worth the 130 i paid. Closest electric razor ever made by far
I started looking into this, glad I found your review. I've been using the Gillette Stylus for the last few years, I love it. I've tried other razors and I've also tried dollar shave club, none of them compare to the quality that my razor gets. The main feature that it has which I benefit from, is the vibration. It looks like this razor does not have that feature, but please, correct me if I'm wrong. With my face, I don't think there's any other way I can get a good shave without that feature.
@@averageguytested is it as wide as the Stylus? That would be my other reason for keeping it. I can't be bothered with a tiny grip anymore after using a Stylus. I 😋
Great review as always but what is the warranty for this ? IMO when that razor starts to age , a seam may separate and allow water to leak in. Another issue is the heat factor which is another enemy of plastic . In time, this may cause the handle to warp and separate . Of course this will happen whenever the warranty expires . Maybe if it was all metal , it would have a chance..
@@averageguytested I would love to get a wiring schematic of this thing to see what makes it tick. I'm sure ( I hope) the wiring , chips and pc board are incapsulated (Protected) within the body of the handle. As I mentioned above , I wish Gillette made this out of metal. Four things never mix together..water, electric, heat and plastic. By the way, 1-What DE blade do you recommend for sensitive skin with course hair. 2- what is your opinion on ''Treet'' DE carbon steel blades. (I know there real old school ). Thank you for the best reviews on TH-cam .
theMediaMart the heating bar is not embedded in the cart. It’s connected to the actual unit itself. The carts have a cut out for the bar to slide into when the cart gets changed and then seated into the unit itself.
@@chrisharper9175 That's what I was concerned about. I was talking about the Handle/ Body or unit of the razor. Not the Cartridge/blade part itself. I should've clarified that. Thanks
Just for comparison... Rockwell 6s Stainless Steel DE Razor (Made in USA 3 plates/6 settings - lifetime warranty) $100 + 1200 (yes 1200) Astra Green Blades $96. If you change a blade twice per week, you’ll have to buy more in 11 1/2 years...
Maaaan! This razor is all sorts of cool! I REALLY LIKE THIS THING, but not $250 bucks like! I can purchase a tablet for this price! I hope Gillette trickles this technology down to other new razor products, at least at half the price, and, I would strongly consider purchasing something like this in the very near future.
So, the Glibber-stripe is gone after three shaves like on all Gillette carts... and a new cart is how much...?!? 50 (in words: FIFTY) bucks for 8 carts!!! When you are shaving your chin area at 8:54, one can clearly see how much the 5 blade cart is pulling/tugging!!! Sorry, it's not because of the 200 bucks for the device itself, but I would rather shoot me in my foot instead of buying this!!! I stay with my trusty Mach3/Turbo.
@@averageguytested You're both Wrong... bring Back the Sensor.... and stick it in boiling water... DONE! BRILLIANT! SENSOR HANDLE! AND A KETTLE! ....my genius knows no bounds....
@ Don Dan. I use a Razorpit... it will extend the life of your cartridge Razor... $20 bucks I paid with almost no belief however I have lost.. and gave away.. spent $20 .. so I purchased it... I now have 2.. it claims 150 shaves on one blade.. never counted but I did use 1 razor head 1 day short of 5 months straight yeah I pushed it big time.. I can say at 4 months beginning my shaves were sti ok...
I think 49.99 is a sweet spot.... although I'd consider picking it up for 79.99....maaaaybe. I'll wait a while and see where this goes. Part of me thinks you won't even be able to buy replacement cartridges in a year because this will be discontinued. I like the concept and would love to try it, but the price point is insane.
It’s a nice razor, I tried to find something wrong with it, other than the cost and it does exactly what Gillette says it will and provides a GREAT shaving experience.
But why though? I can see it being viable. When I let my razor sit in rather hot water, then go to shave, it's ALWAYS a much better, smoother experience. In theory, this would provide that same thing, but without the need to hold it under the faucet after it starts to cool down again. I can't help but think that people would have a MUCH different opinion if it was significantly cheaper. I personally would not buy at $200, but if it dropped a fair amount, I'd probably try it.
This razor review was all sorts of awesome, Tony! Awesome high end Gillette razor, Tony!! If the the pricing and tech trickles down sooner than much later, then I will be into one these heated razors!
the price is high, but it's a novelty on the market and I believe over time the price will drop to some reasonable, but Gilette has again made a superb product..Thanks Tony for this video..Hello from Croatia
i was interested until the darn thing kept turning off in the middle of your shave....wtf is that? is the $200 dollar razor broken already? or does it have some type of silly 2min power cut-off??
It looks like the Heated Razor is not yet available in Canada so I checked Amazon US. OUCH! $200 US is about $280 CAD I believe the blades are about $25 US for 4 carts. When I read that, the next thing I knew, Paramedics were bending over me placing paddles on my chest (just kidding). That’s too rich for my blood🥺😢
The Gillett Heated razor takes a while to get your skin toughened up to it. The Gillett Fusion Power razor is better for a Quick shave. The reason being. The Heated Razor doesn't have as Flexible Blade so it gives you small nicks till your skin toughens up. You also have to shave Slower to appreciate the heat. Which is GREAT! at a slow speed. The Fusion POWER doesn't nick because blade vibrates. Best razor if you are in a hurry. Heated best to feel a Nice Heated Relaxing shave if you like to feel Pampered.But it takes time to get used to it. I have had mine for a year. Harry Razors make a Good Finish for spots (especially Necks) for a supper smooth skin because they have a SUPER FLEXIBLE Neck Attachment. But for all 3 razors I prefer the Fusion POWER Till I Got Used to the HEATED RAZOR. I Found with ALL THE RAZORS the SECRET TO A CLOSE SMOOTH SKIN IS to use them (after the initial shave) LIKE A PAINT ROLLER. Pushing the razor up for the Moisturizing Strips to Work and then Shaving DOWN like using a Paint Roller on a wall. UP & DOWN, UP & DOWN. Keeping the razor on the skin. It Sounds CRAZY!!! BUT IT WORKS!!! I have tried all makes of cartridge razors over 40 years and this crazy method works for all of them. I figured it out by thinking the razors have Moisturizing Strips but they don't seem to work. HOW CAN I GET THEM TO WORK? SO... I thought why not see if they work by putting them on the face before the blade shaving stroke by pushing the razor UP. and It WORKED. So now my shaving is smooth and so is my skin. It even stopped the hidden nicking of the heated razor whose neck is too stiff to shift fast enough for the contours of your face. A flex compensated for on the Fusion POWER and the HARRY razors. That isn't a after shave menthal feeling you are getting from the razor. It is a feeling from tiny nicks. If you ever used a razor BEFORE LUBRICATED & FLEX HEADS you will know what I mean. Same feeling if you use a Blade Too Long and it gets Dull. So... This razor is Great once you get use to it and then feel Pampered by the heat. You won't want to use another. But microscopic nicking will occur if you press at all and shave too fast till your skin toughens up. TAKE IT SLOW... and use the Moisturizing Trick I told you to no matter what razor you use. It is OVER PRICED. I could see $50-$70.00 for it at the most. It should be cheaper than a GOOD ELECTRIC RAZOR that has Fewer Blade Replacement costs. And the Replacement Blades should be much cheaper. Like about $15.00 not $40.00 up range.
In these Inflationary Times. HERE IS AN EASY WAY TO DO IT MY FRIENDs Use any hard Bar Soap, Tallow or Glycerin based Soaps out there? To fit in any Mugs or Cups? Like" (Mitchells' Wool Fat or Arko Sticks. Just to name a few of them?) You can mix and match your old Soaps? Cut up the soap on a paper plate, pour your soap chunks with the shavings from the Paper Plate into a Mug, cover the soap with a small amount of water, and microwave your soap. For about a minute or so? Place a paper plate under your mug in case it bubbles out of your cup? If it foams up, STOP. The water keeps it from burning itself up. (DON'T OVER WATER YOUR SOAP??) Easy, does it? Let cool don't want to Crack the Mugs or Cups you're using? (You just want it to Congeal in your Mug or Cup') it is very hot and watery'''''. let it cool in PLACE'. after it cools, put it in a Sunny Window, until the Soap hardens? When using your soaps, use Dry Brush Less Water. It thickens the soap, making it easier to use on your face. Save your Money, spend it on your wife, don't listen to the shave Mafia. It saves me time and Money. Wheelchair Larry Happy New Year. Your Mileage may vary?
It's such a rip-off 265 $ for that razor if they drop the price would be better at least 140 Euro cause there are lots of electric razor like the Panasonic who also Costs kind of the same price by the way keep it up love your shaving Videos I am learning also how to properly shave my face with your techniques ^^
Alright! I’ll be that guy to ask the questions us 32 year olds that can’t grow a beard, so it’s unnecessary for the face. How’s it work for the family jewels 😂
Never tried it down there, but I’d say you’d probably want to go with something design for manscaping. Philips Norelco’s Bodygroom series or the Manscaped product line.
theMediaMart from my understanding the manscaped products are junk, you are just paying for the name. So I definitely think I’d go with a cheaper route lol. Either way good video, some day I’ll need a fancy razor, but my peach fuzz can still handle disposables lol
I'm just waiting for this to have the vibration function too then I'll buy it.

Should’ve have it

None for me, but I never really suffer from ingrown hairs. What do you use currently?
I'm also in law enforcement and need to be clean every day. I used to use a razor but now I use an electric foil shaver. Does the trick and I don't get near the redness, irritation or ingrown hairs. Picked one up at Walmart for 50 bucks! Does the trick for me
Tony, where and how do I send you stuff?
I may have a something to send you by the end of the month.
I am a sucker for good marketing and packaging, too!
Thanks, my friend. Reach out to me on Twitter or FB or send me an email - it’s in the about section here on TH-cam.👍🏽
Great review. Like how you mentioned that you are not considering price in the review but maybe you should consider talking about it. Sure it’s a luxury, but luxuries should still be fairly priced
Agreed.
Usually luxurious items are higher priced than everyday items. Even the exfoliating razor is a luxury item. I would say the fusion 5 or the mach 3 are normal everyday items compared to this. And sometimes you can get it for around 110 US
Was debating buying this and your video just convinced me :) thanks from Scotland!
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it! Regards from New York!
Is it still working? Lot of complaints that it craps out after a year or so
@@AP-qu8sl Bought it after this video and it’s still going strong. Never had any issues with mine personally.
@@JamboNo5_ ty for the reply. I am getting one then. Is it worth that much money? Do the replacement blades last longer than normal blades?
@@AP-qu8slthey are the same blades as the Gillette labs exfoliating bar razor. Gillette claims 20 shaves per cartridge. I usually go 23 shaves before it becomes uncomfortable but I’m sure if you have a face of steel you could go for a month or more. I would just rather have less irritation so 23 is my number. Some guys I would say 18-20 shaves depending on how fast their hair grows back and how thick it is.
Try the diamond tipped razor. Of course, a lot more (like 1 million times) costlier, but then THAT is luxury
What does that run?
@@averageguytested they’re razors with the blade built in. But then diamonds DON’T wear out, so it’s practically a one time buy. Entry level ones cost around $200,000.
Whats the point of buying a heated shaver when you can just use hot water to rinse it🤷♂️🤷♂️
It’s the best feeling and the perfect temp. I agree that you could heat up your traditional blades - but this is pure luxury and the best shave I’ve had. I agree the product is pricey. Thanks for watching👍🏽
You would have to use very, very hot water and constantly reheat your razor to match to continuous heat provided by this razor. I got away from shaving because I grew a beard, but I decided to shave with this razor for my vacation in April and I was not disappointed at all. It is still very expensive, but hey, if you want it....go for it.
It’s a smart way to guide people to buy the cartridges ($40) Instead of a new ($10) Gillette razor. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
If you try it you’d love it. I agree that the cost of the unit should be much less. Hopefully someday soon.
Top review Tony. Yeah it's a luxury item but it's something different. I do enjoy my DE. Will be interesting to see if they bring our future cheaper iterations.
Have you seen Wilkinson Sword/Schick answer to the Philips Norelco One Blade?
Finally thanks to you for reviewing this and to the Vance family for making it happen.
Thanks for watching👍🏽 I haven’t seen the Wilkinson product, but I should check it out for sure.

Looks good, brah!
Best review ever period! Now I have to buy this
Thanks! There’s also a Bugatti Branded heated version of this razor - it’s pretty slick looking!
I couldnt spend this amount of money on a cartridge razer, but then again i think the Panasonic arc5 was well worth the 130 i paid. Closest electric razor ever made by far
Yes - it’s something to think about for sure.
Nice review man, ive been on the shelf about buyin this for months now, but you just sold it for me
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Let me know what you think of it.
Part of me wants to try this, the other part of me hears my deceased father saying to me WTF? Lol
Yes, I understand.
I started looking into this, glad I found your review. I've been using the Gillette Stylus for the last few years, I love it. I've tried other razors and I've also tried dollar shave club, none of them compare to the quality that my razor gets. The main feature that it has which I benefit from, is the vibration. It looks like this razor does not have that feature, but please, correct me if I'm wrong. With my face, I don't think there's any other way I can get a good shave without that feature.
This doesn’t have the power vibration feature. Try the new Gillette SKINGUARD- it’s really good for people with sensitive skin.
@@averageguytested is it as wide as the Stylus? That would be my other reason for keeping it. I can't be bothered with a tiny grip anymore after using a Stylus. I 😋
Totally agree with the vibration. I was shocked this razor did not have that function at this price point. I guess that will be version 2.0 :(
@@jakistra and probably and extra 50 bucks added to the price.
Nice review. I just rinse my Gillette Power Glide razor in hot water as I shave.
👍🏽
Do they make a refrigerated one yet?? 🥶❄️☃️🧊👍👍👍 (Come on Gillette, don’t let us down now!!!)
No..but braun does - "COOLTECH"!
I enjoyed watching this. And got laugh at the same time. Nice review.
Thanks👍🏽
"Oh Ya guys, that feels nice" LOL
😂
😂
$200?! are you kidding me dude?
I didn’t set the pricing, brah!
lol exactly!!
Appears waterproof/water resistant, too!
Niiiiice!
Yes - waterproof 👍🏽
Great review as always but what is the warranty for this ? IMO when that razor starts to age , a seam may separate and allow water to leak in. Another issue is the heat factor which is another enemy of plastic . In time, this may cause the handle to warp and separate . Of course this will happen whenever the warranty expires . Maybe if it was all metal , it would have a chance..
You sound like an engineer. ? Good points. I’ll check the warranty.
The heating bar is embedded in the cartridge, which is replaceable - they say about 1 cart a month. We’ll see.
@@averageguytested I would love to get a wiring schematic of this thing to see what makes it tick. I'm sure ( I hope) the wiring , chips and pc board are incapsulated (Protected) within the body of the handle. As I mentioned above , I wish Gillette made this out of metal. Four things never mix together..water, electric, heat and plastic. By the way, 1-What DE blade do you recommend for sensitive skin with course hair. 2- what is your opinion on ''Treet'' DE carbon steel blades. (I know there real old school ). Thank you for the best reviews on TH-cam .
theMediaMart the heating bar is not embedded in the cart. It’s connected to the actual unit itself. The carts have a cut out for the bar to slide into when the cart gets changed and then seated into the unit itself.
@@chrisharper9175 That's what I was concerned about. I was talking about the Handle/ Body or unit of the razor. Not the Cartridge/blade part itself. I should've clarified that. Thanks
Bro I always enjoy your shaving youtube video's great reviews cheers buddy 👍
Thanks!!
Just for comparison... Rockwell 6s Stainless Steel DE Razor (Made in USA 3 plates/6 settings - lifetime warranty) $100 + 1200 (yes 1200) Astra Green Blades $96. If you change a blade twice per week, you’ll have to buy more in 11 1/2 years...
😂😂😂👍🏽
lol 😂I love it!!
Maaaan!
This razor is all sorts of cool!
I REALLY LIKE THIS THING, but not $250 bucks like!
I can purchase a tablet for this price!
I hope Gillette trickles this technology down to other new razor products, at least at half the price, and, I would strongly consider purchasing something like this in the very near future.
👍🏽
It's$30 at target lol
So, the Glibber-stripe is gone after three shaves like on all Gillette carts... and a new cart is how much...?!? 50 (in words: FIFTY) bucks for 8 carts!!! When you are shaving your chin area at 8:54, one can clearly see how much the 5 blade cart is pulling/tugging!!! Sorry, it's not because of the 200 bucks for the device itself, but I would rather shoot me in my foot instead of buying this!!! I stay with my trusty Mach3/Turbo.
They should sell the Mach 3 turbo with this warming bar technology for $50 - then, #BINGO
@@averageguytested You're both Wrong... bring Back the Sensor.... and stick it in boiling water... DONE! BRILLIANT! SENSOR HANDLE! AND A KETTLE! ....my genius knows no bounds....
@ Don Dan. I use a Razorpit... it will extend the life of your cartridge Razor... $20 bucks I paid with almost no belief however I have lost.. and gave away.. spent $20 .. so I purchased it... I now have 2.. it claims 150 shaves on one blade.. never counted but I did use 1 razor head 1 day short of 5 months straight yeah I pushed it big time.. I can say at 4 months beginning my shaves were sti ok...
These are $100 or less on E-Bay. Plan on buying one myself.
It should have always been around $75 - then it would have been a tremendous hit! Great razor for sure!
Drop the price to $24.99 where is should be .
The price will come down eventually- it’s worth much more than $25 tho - IMO
@@averageguytested yes for sure . Totally ridiculous for what they set the price @ .
I would have to agree.
I think 49.99 is a sweet spot.... although I'd consider picking it up for 79.99....maaaaybe. I'll wait a while and see where this goes. Part of me thinks you won't even be able to buy replacement cartridges in a year because this will be discontinued. I like the concept and would love to try it, but the price point is insane.
Why do I love the fact that you said bruh
Ha ha 👍🏽
But idk game console > razor i don’t think I can go back to cartridge after the heritage 😂
😂😂
Moamen Salah SEGA!!!!!
Cool design and idea, but i prefer shavettes over any other razors
You are brave 👍🏽
More utterly pointless electronic crap to end up in landfill. Great 🤷🏼♂️
It’s a nice razor, I tried to find something wrong with it, other than the cost and it does exactly what Gillette says it will and provides a GREAT shaving experience.
But why though? I can see it being viable. When I let my razor sit in rather hot water, then go to shave, it's ALWAYS a much better, smoother experience. In theory, this would provide that same thing, but without the need to hold it under the faucet after it starts to cool down again. I can't help but think that people would have a MUCH different opinion if it was significantly cheaper. I personally would not buy at $200, but if it dropped a fair amount, I'd probably try it.
This razor review was all sorts of awesome, Tony!
Awesome high end Gillette razor, Tony!!
If the the pricing and tech trickles down sooner than much later, then I will be into one these heated razors!
👍🏽
Great review bro 👍🏼
Thanks, brother!
great shave oh who knows when it drops in price i will try it out :)....cheers....Peter
That’s the ticket 👍🏽
Nice review one, will definitely pick one up
Thanks!
the price is insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Indeed.
Great review
Thanks for watching!
Good review! It worked like a charm. Greetings from South Texas
So far, so good. Thanks for watching 👍🏽
the price is high, but it's a novelty on the market and I believe over time the price will drop to some reasonable, but Gilette has again made a superb product..Thanks Tony for this video..Hello from Croatia
They make good products. Thanks for watching.
@@averageguytested not to be missed 😃
i was interested until the darn thing kept turning off in the middle of your shave....wtf is that?
is the $200 dollar razor broken already? or does it have some type of silly 2min power cut-off??
Yes, I believe it shuts down after 5 mins. Remember, I talk a lot while filming. It warms back up instantly, tho.
Great vid as always bro!!! "Keep pushing play!!!"
Thanks, Sean!
Nice review brother
Thanks!!
I could get behind this IF they didn't have replaceable cartridges. But that's no surprise, since that's where Gillette makes the big bucks.
#truth
The only reason I am buying this BECAUSE it has a LUD sound
Funny
We’re glad you enjoyed the razor!! #keeppushingplay ;))
👍🏽 thanks, Katie!
Katelyn Daddy loves you Katie!! ❤️💯
Mike Vance love you❤️
It is a nice shave, even better now its priced at £50
Indeed.
It looks like the Heated Razor is not yet available in Canada so I checked Amazon US. OUCH! $200 US is about $280 CAD I believe the blades are about $25 US for 4 carts. When I read that, the next thing I knew, Paramedics were bending over me placing paddles on my chest (just kidding). That’s too rich for my blood🥺😢
😂
Just found out about this item today! It’s already in my cart for purchase. Thank You for this video!
👍🏽
Scratch what I said just ordered mine tonight!
👍🏽
I think I will get that razor for having a relaxing sunday shave
👍🏽🪒
Sucker!
Yeah?
Yup
Way better than DE lol, way less painful...
Funny
"Best cartridge blades" okay i can accept that.
They make good DE blades but the market has a lot of competition.
Flooded.
What about shaving your head with this?
I think it would work well for a head shave.
@@averageguytested thanks - think I’ll invest!
Looks nice
It really is.
Bro why the shaving cream on your lips? lol Great video, thanks!
😂😂
Average man price?
No - should be $75 IMO
No way
The Gillett Heated razor takes a while to get your skin toughened up to it. The Gillett Fusion Power razor is better for a Quick shave. The reason being. The Heated Razor doesn't have as Flexible Blade so it gives you small nicks till your skin toughens up. You also have to shave Slower to appreciate the heat. Which is GREAT! at a slow speed. The Fusion POWER doesn't nick because blade vibrates. Best razor if you are in a hurry. Heated best to feel a Nice Heated Relaxing shave if you like to feel Pampered.But it takes time to get used to it. I have had mine for a year. Harry Razors make a Good Finish for spots (especially Necks) for a supper smooth skin because they have a SUPER FLEXIBLE Neck Attachment. But for all 3 razors I prefer the Fusion POWER Till I Got Used to the HEATED RAZOR. I Found with ALL THE RAZORS the SECRET TO A CLOSE SMOOTH SKIN IS to use them (after the initial shave) LIKE A PAINT ROLLER. Pushing the razor up for the Moisturizing Strips to Work and then Shaving DOWN like using a Paint Roller on a wall. UP & DOWN, UP & DOWN. Keeping the razor on the skin. It Sounds CRAZY!!! BUT IT WORKS!!! I have tried all makes of cartridge razors over 40 years and this crazy method works for all of them. I figured it out by thinking the razors have Moisturizing Strips but they don't seem to work. HOW CAN I GET THEM TO WORK? SO... I thought why not see if they work by putting them on the face before the blade shaving stroke by pushing the razor UP. and It WORKED. So now my shaving is smooth and so is my skin. It even stopped the hidden nicking of the heated razor whose neck is too stiff to shift fast enough for the contours of your face. A flex compensated for on the Fusion POWER and the HARRY razors. That isn't a after shave menthal feeling you are getting from the razor. It is a feeling from tiny nicks. If you ever used a razor BEFORE LUBRICATED & FLEX HEADS you will know what I mean. Same feeling if you use a Blade Too Long and it gets Dull. So... This razor is Great once you get use to it and then feel Pampered by the heat. You won't want to use another. But microscopic nicking will occur if you press at all and shave too fast till your skin toughens up. TAKE IT SLOW... and use the Moisturizing Trick I told you to no matter what razor you use. It is OVER PRICED. I could see $50-$70.00 for it at the most. It should be cheaper than a GOOD ELECTRIC RAZOR that has Fewer Blade Replacement costs. And the Replacement Blades should be much cheaper. Like about $15.00 not $40.00 up range.
Great info.
In these Inflationary Times. HERE IS AN EASY WAY TO DO IT MY FRIENDs Use any hard Bar Soap, Tallow or Glycerin based Soaps out there? To fit in any Mugs or Cups? Like" (Mitchells' Wool Fat or Arko Sticks. Just to name a few of them?) You can mix and match your old Soaps? Cut up the soap on a paper plate, pour your soap chunks with the shavings from the Paper Plate into a Mug, cover the soap with a small amount of water, and microwave your soap. For about a minute or so? Place a paper plate under your mug in case it bubbles out of your cup? If it foams up, STOP. The water keeps it from burning itself up. (DON'T OVER WATER YOUR SOAP??) Easy, does it? Let cool don't want to Crack the Mugs or Cups you're using? (You just want it to Congeal in your Mug or Cup') it is very hot and watery'''''. let it cool in PLACE'. after it cools, put it in a Sunny Window, until the Soap hardens? When using your soaps, use Dry Brush Less Water. It thickens the soap, making it easier to use on your face. Save your Money, spend it on your wife, don't listen to the shave Mafia. It saves me time and Money. Wheelchair Larry Happy New Year. Your Mileage may vary?
great stuff, Larry!

It's such a rip-off 265 $ for that razor if they drop the price would be better at least 140 Euro cause there are lots of electric razor like the Panasonic who also Costs kind of the same price by the way keep it up love your shaving Videos I am learning also how to properly shave my face with your techniques ^^
It should sell for $75
Alright! I’ll be that guy to ask the questions us 32 year olds that can’t grow a beard, so it’s unnecessary for the face. How’s it work for the family jewels 😂
Never tried it down there, but I’d say you’d probably want to go with something design for manscaping. Philips Norelco’s Bodygroom series or the Manscaped product line.
theMediaMart from my understanding the manscaped products are junk, you are just paying for the name. So I definitely think I’d go with a cheaper route lol. Either way good video, some day I’ll need a fancy razor, but my peach fuzz can still handle disposables lol
Allez-Y means Let's go in French.. its not All Easy :)
