review: Gillette Groomer with Power Razor (is worth having in your shaving kit)


To help me prepare for "Movember", Gillette sent their Fusion ProGlide Styler 3-in-1 Men's Body Groomer with Beard Trimmer to me...



During the month of November, being designated at "Movember", men begin the month clean shaven...then grow mustaches throughout the month.  The purpose is to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues.  Men can register at Movember.com.

I let my beard grow out a bit, and then used to styler to see what kind of results I should expect.  To take the pictures I used a HTC One.

The styler is a waterproof Braun-engineered Power Trimmer that allows for trimming, shaving, and edging.

To begin, I used attachment #3...

...and then, in error (because I originally intended to use attachment #2), I used attachment #1...

Attachment #1 left my hair long enough that I needed to edge the bottom of my mustache so it doesn't dangle below my upper lip.  I'm lazy, and don't want to need to do that.  I like having stubble, and after using the styler with no attachment...I am VERY satisfied with the outcome and have the length I like.

Sometimes I don't shave for weeks, and my hair grows long enough to clog most multi-blade shavers.  The Gillette Fusion ProGlide Styler/Groomer/Trimmer makes it easy for me to thin my beard, and then (if I choose to) shave with the included Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power Razor.
