In this video, I'm delving deep into some essentials in the grooming world while visiting Bentonville, Arkansas. The star of the show is Gillette's Fusion 5 Black Edition, a 5-blade cartridge razor that's been on your radar for a while now. With its precision trimmer and a lubrication strip for an effortless glide, it's clear why this razor is a fan favorite. I'll put it to the test to see how it performs as an ultimate travel razor.
Next up is Barbasol's travel size sensitive shave foam. Known for its thick and rich lather, Barbasol has been a trusted name in men's grooming since 1919. Its travel size sensitive foam is perfect for on-the-go and promises a comfortable and close shave, even for the most sensitive skin.
Lastly, I'll be testing Kirk's handmade soap with coconut oil. I'm always on a hunt for products that will elevate my shower experience, which is crucial when you're on the road and want to feel at home. Kirk's is known for its all-natural approach, making their soaps from 100% premium coconut oil that gently cleanses and nourishes the skin.
I'm also giving you on a glimpse of Bentonville, Arkansas, a town with a rich history and promising future. Known as the birthplace of Walmart, the world's largest retailer, Bentonville is a testament to the power of entrepreneurial spirit. The small five and dime store that Sam Walton opened in 1950 has transformed not just this town, but the global retail landscape.
Today, Bentonville is booming with development, filled with an eclectic mix of local boutiques, innovative restaurants, and stunning architecture.

These are by far the best you will ever find anywhere.
I was just thinking the same thing 👋🏽 thanks for watching!
Nice shave Brah. Good to see you still growing the channel
Thanks, brah! 👋🏽
Fusion is still a great razor, razor and 4 cartridges 14$- back in the day- the handles were made in 🇲🇽. That exfoliate razor, now that’s a very sharp cartridge.
Interesting 👋🏽 thanks for watching!
$14 gets you 100 de blades
@@hassyg4083possibly a 100 knicks and cuts too 😂
@@Odinarcade00 nope , use leaf twig its very safe and very low running costs
Fusion5 my go to razor great shave and great video
Thanks, brah!
Wonderfully entertaining and naturally effortless video.
Golden words- "You'll never get all the hair, no matter what you may think. So it's not worth hurting yourself for that".
I actually found my way here because I was browsing the internet to resolve a dilemma. As a perfectionist, I have only relatively recently started shaving against the grain. The smoothness it affords is second to none, but the price to be paid is heavy. By the time I am done, my face is bleeding like a battlefield, and burning like fire. I use a Gillette Mach 3 turbo, and the bleeding is worse with a new blade, because it oh-so-effortlessly just nicks the skin whilst going against the grain. Your problem areas are mine as well. I was wondering if, 1. changing to a Gillette Fusion, or, 2. shifting to an electric shaver (the internet seems to favour a Braun series 9) could afford a similarly smooth shave, but without the trauma and bleeding.
Thank you in advance for your reply, and my best wishes🤝🏻.
Try Gillette’s SKINGUARD- before you leave the cartridge shave world. Thanks for watching 👋🏽
Hey Tony! Have a great Memorial Day Weekend. ONE LOVE from Beautiful Pensacola, Florida ❤️ 👊🏽
Likewise, my brother!! Enjoy!
Love your videos! I've used the 5 blade,but it was a Walgreens blade. Not bad,but its only good for up too 3/4 day growth. I shave once a week,sometimes 2 weeks.hair clogs up blades super fast.these 4-5 blades were not designed for beards. Daily too 3 days growth. Check even double blades clog with 4 plus days growth.
Sounds like you had thick hair. Thanks for watching 👋🏽
Excellent shave Tony and yes I have seen the new Gillette Fusion 5 razor at the stores in my area and they removed the bumber and it helps a lot during shave
Yes, the new design is much smoother! #Gora
Good video man, i just was searching for disposables razors videos and i found your channel lol, great content for sure! Cheers from México, Querétaro! #keeppushing
Thanks for watching, brother!!
Well done, Tony! Best, Carla and Karl
K&C Express! Thanks for watching 👋🏽
It is a catridge razor, yes, but a good one ! Greetings from Germany !
Indeed. Greetings back from New York 👋🏽
That's the thing with Gillette. People can hate on them all they want. But at the end of the day they're still the best shave you can get with a cartidge razor. I think they learned with their bad advertising choices. But at the end of the day they still produce some great products.
Me on the other hand. I'm still stuck with the Atra Plus and my Vintage Gillette TTO razors because I'm too cheap to go back to the Fusion stuff lol.
Your comment makes me very curious about trying other brands of disposable and cartridge razors, outside of just Gillette.
@@10floz30minutes Schick is excellent and Harry's is good to. Well newer Harry's are good.
Ha ha - i can’t disagree with you 👋🏽 thanks for watching!
@@averageguytested I'm still waiting on your thoughts on the new Gillette Foamy. I want to see the controversy that video will have. There's so many people complaining about the new scent haha. I actually really like it compared to the old scent.
You should always try new brands - you just might like them better! Thanks for watching 👋🏽
Excellent 🪒 shave Tony, fast and efficient.👋🏻
Thanks!!
Great shaving vid. Rubber guide looks similar to the Proglide cart. Think the exfoliating bar razor just has the edge for me.
I agree 💯 thanks for watching 👋🏽
It's pretty much the same blade, just a different color scheme to match the original Fusion. Which makes the Proglide redundant.
@@r0btech pro guide got the combs on it
@@hassyg4083yeah but isn’t it like ten more bucks for the 12 pack just for that?
on the road again, great shaving video brah. stay safe....cheers....Peter
Thanks for watching, Peter!!
@@averageguytested my pleasure Tony!!
Thank you for the great video. Gillette is hard to beat. A DE razor is good but if not careful you will be sliced up like Thanksgiving turkey. I really don't think you save very much money by the time you buy a Safety Razor, soap and brush. Barbasol has been around for a long time and for good reason its good stuff. Enjoyed the video, Thank You
Thanks, Joe!
depends if you want good condion skin. brush and soap is better
You can also use a soap and brush with a cartridge razor
Tony your shaving vids are awesome keep up the great work
Thanks, brah!!
@@averageguytested yep
In 2021, Gillette shortened the microfin guard on the bottom of the ProGlide razor as well as the Fusion 5. These razors no longer protect as well, resulting in a harsher shave & more skin irritation. Gillette obscenely raised prices while simultaneously reducing the quality of their products. Way to go!
IDK - I think I like it better. Just my take - it makes for a sleeker profile. Thanks for watching 👋🏽
@@averageguytested Possibly you can make a side by side comparison video (old vs new) Gillette Fusion 5 or ProGlide video? Just an idea. 💡
Nice idea 👋🏽
@@dualityofman1253honestly it looks like they put drain holes on the cartridges and tbh the old ones look like they drag more
Bentonville arkansas the first wal-mart and the testing area for the company
Indeed - great little town!
Luckily the black edition is the standard now and I just picked one up to save a couple bucks on blades.
It’s a nice version for sure. Thanks for watching 👋🏽
Dude im ngl i cant believe you made that pass at 6:35 , that was very brave Lmao i dont think i couldve done it dude lmao
Ha ha
I think they have simply switched from silver colour to black,unfortunately for me because i liked the silver one more.
But i have seen in one of my local stores,one last silver pice,i think i will have to pick it up while there is still one to buy.
Only thing that bothers me is how it will look in the future when i will have to mix silver handle with newer black blades.
Yes - i understand your concern. They want you to buy more stuff. ;)
Good video Tony!! You can tell where Gillette is making their money..... Fusion, Exfoliating bar and the ProGlide....it's the only models they keep adding too.
But it's like where do they go from the basic Fusion design? How many more blades can they add lol. They have themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place. They've pretty much perfected and added onto the Fusion razor for 20 years now. So I'll be a challenge for Gillette to come up with something new.
@@RobertNES816 Yep, they have been basically tweaking the original Fusion. That's because it was such a good blade when it came out.
@@r0btech Yeah it was.... The Fusion was a great blade. You're correct, they are stuck between a Rock and a hard place lol. They have made such phenomenal products, they can't really do better than their premium lines now. My next move, if I were them, would be to revamp the Mach 3 with some of their newer ideas and to mix some of the newer designs with the retro ones..... The Sensor and Sensor excel..... I think that would really well for them.
@@mattjones8254 Yeah it definitely would. A razor with a smaller head design and that I guess youd call it a "top mount" attachment point is something I prefer. That's one reason why I stick with the Atra over the Fusion. I just like the geometry of how the handle design works over the current razors that mount the cartridge from a rear pivot point.
They are really going for it with those models. I’d love to see an update of the Mach3 - that would be killer!
Good video, I would like to ask you two questions
Which handle do you prefer, this one that is fixed or the handle of the Gillete Flexball that moves?
Do you think the vibrating handle like on the Flexball Power is beneficial or is it better without the vibration?
So this handle does have the flex disc technology, which I like better than the flex ball. If I have the power option I’d always go with that though - but it’s really a minimal difference to the overall shave. It’s just really cool - thanks for watching 👋🏽
I am on the edge of the chair , this happens every video e.g here watching around 9:10 to 9:30 , when you maneuver around the lips, anxious , as the razor moves around , I see the tongue 😛 & get a scare always .. then the relief once done 😊
Ha ha. That’s funny. Thanks for watching 👋🏽
Nice and I just went on a road trip forgot my phone charger 🤦♂️ guess I could buy one at a store
Yes, that sucks, tho! Ask the person at the front desk if they have a spare
@@averageguytested thanks
Did they have a spare charger for you at the front desk?
Where can you buy the black edition?
Try Walmart or Walgreens
I got it on Amazon with a 3 dollar coupon. The handle and two blades
Hey, dude. I’m a beginner and I have one question about shaving my beard: What is a Good Time to shave my beard? Once a week or I have to wait two weeks and then shave it?
Depends on how fast it grows and how casual you can be. I’d say the least you can get away with.
With all these newer exfoliating razors releasing I question weather or not I'll need to buy a new one 🤔
Buy as many as you want for your shave collection, but all you need is one if you are frugal
@theMediaMart ha ha true happy memorial day weekend
Brother media, when are you going get the skin fade to go with the clean shave?
Soon.
Hey, Can you tell me how to clean the fusion razor and blades after shaving?
Just run water through the razor until all the shaving cream and hairs are out of it. Then blow on the blades for maybe 5-10 seconds. Then tap dry it with a towel. Then store in a safe place like your cabinet, not your sink cause you will get a lot of bacteria on it.
Rinse and tap, once dry you can run the razor upwards against a towel to keep it sharp
I always rinse with warm water and let it air dry on a towel. Thanks for watching 👋🏽
Find the video demonstrating and discussing how on my channel, the video titled, "Treat Disposable Razor Head After a Shave".

Thank you!! Activate my membership?
@@averageguytested Yes, you can become a member on UA-cam and support the channel owner. I don't know yet from how many follows you can activate it
I’m sure I can activate it. I’ll do it soon.
Thanks for your suggestion 👋🏽
@@averageguytested Ur welcome ❤️
Anyone have experience with this and bald head shaving?
Thanks for watching- I don’t do head shaves so hopefully some of the viewers can help.
Wery nice shaving morę hot water and morę hot soap
Thanks!
cold water shaving is better
I have yet to try it.
@@averageguytested amazing how i get less razor burn using cold water, try it see the results
I’ll have to try your technique 👋🏽
Beter for you face its 2 pace
No aftershave 😅😅
I didn’t see anything good at Walmart so I went sans aftershave on this one. Thanks for watching 👋🏽
Sorry Gillette, still not buying your crap after your toxic masculinity advertising campaign and likely NEVER will again.
I gotta hand it to you - keep the faith. 👍🏽
andrew tate
Did you think they were talking about you specifically 😂 insecure?
@Odinarcade00 it's called moral integrity. I wouldn't expect you to understand!
@@dh12. yeah okay or somehow you think they were attacking you somehow. If you didn’t do anything wrong why be upset? Also it’s not like all men are nice good boys or anything. A lot of A holes out there need to grow. We all have room to grow. That’s basically what they were saying. Making men better people isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Lots of bone heads out there. You want people to stay like cavemen forever? Or should we advance? Plus it’s just a razor company. You don’t have to take their advice. And you don’t have to buy their razors either. But it is the best cartridge razor on the market. I have not tried one razor that is more comfortable and shaves as close. Take it or leave it.
Only one pass is needed this is the reason this razor have 5 blades .. why are you doing so many passes
Because I have a shaving channel 🤣 thanks for watching 👍🏽
Actually you can still miss some hairs so it’s good to go against the grain atleast once to get an even smoother face
Tony the Tiger 🐅 whats happening Amigo?? keep on shaving until every hair and hair underneath skin is cutt down like leaves from a lawn mower.
Ha ha 👋🏽
