Gillette Fusion Proglide Clear Shave Gel, 5.9 Ounce (Pack of 2)

 (8 customer reviews)

This is pretty much what we've all come to expect from Gillette when given the chance to make a shave gel that could actually benefit men: a product full of unnecessary chemicals, fragrances and dyes. It's as underwhelming as the rest of the Gillette shave gel line.

Let's be clear (no pun intended): When you read "Clear Shave Gel," make sure you understand that the gel itself is not clear. It is blue-tinted; it goes on clear when applied to your face -- those of you with dye issues, take note! This is also loaded with Gillette's standard shave-gel fragrance which you'll either love or hate but either way, serves absolutely no purpose. The gel itself does little to protect or lubricate my face. When using this product, I got cuts using a brand new Fusion ProGlide razor -- the first time I've been cut with a ProGlide in more than a year of usage.

This is excellent shave gel if you have a beard that you want to keep nicely groomed. It is very slick and stays wet, but allows you to see your face underneath it so you can shave without messing up your beard.

I typically use shaving traditional gel in an aerosol can, but I thought I would give this a try. I enjoyed the smell of it, personally. But I don't think that it is "slick" enough and produces more friction than the canned gel. To compensate, I used a generous portion - but then it isn't cost effective. So, I am sticking with the canned gel once I have finished these two bottles.
