It's an all-purpose trimmer, shaver and
edger said to achieve any facial hair style.
But will this Gillette Fusion ProGlide
Styler and it's AA battery have the
power to work through my beard and style
with precision?
I'll let you know coming up next!
What's up, Guys! I'm Paul

Alright, so today we're
taking a look at the Gillette Fusion
ProGlide Styler, which Gillette touts for its ability to trim evenly, shave
closely and edge precisely. This grooming
device is an Amazon choice
recommendation, ranking at #8
for the category of beard and mustache trimmers.
It also holds a respectable 4 out of 5 star review rating.
The Gillette Styler is a Braun engineered power  trimmer featuring advanced technology
for even trimming and ultimate maneuverability.
Accompanying the Styler
organizer and trimmer itself are three
comb attachments, lengths 2mm, 4mm and 6mm.
The Gillette Styler also includes one
ProGlide cartridge attachment and allows
for any Gillette Fusion blade refill to
be used interchangeably on the device.
On the reverse side of the ProGlide
cartridge you'll find the precision
trimmer, designed for creating crisp
defined lines and finishing touches.
For power, the Gillette Fusion ProGlide
Styler runs on one AA battery
lacking any charging capability.
According to Gillette, this battery
should last anywhere from 1 to 1.5
months based on average shaving.
The Gillette styler is also
fully waterproof and shower safe.
Currently, the Gillette ProGlide Styler
sells on Amazon for $22.49.
I'll link to the product in the
description below.
Now, if you take a look at one of the commercials going around for the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Styler
you're gonna see a model out there whose
grooming down from a full beard, such as mine,
down to what Gillette's calling the Royale Beard Goatee.
So today, I'm gonna replicate that
same look and see if I achieve the same result.
Now let's dive in and test it out!
Alright guys, so there you go. That's the
Gillette Fusion ProGlide Styler.
We were able to replicate what that model had done
in the commercial and I think we got it pretty close.
You know, we were going for
that Royale Beard Goatee and I think we achieved it.
I just want to let you know
that my camera actually cut out on me yesterday
and the charger wasn't working.
So, a few recordings right at the end of
the trim and the shave did not make it.
Today is the next day, so if you see a
little extra stumble here and you see
some trim in here that you didn't see in
the video while I was shaving, that's
what happened there.
But I'm gonna let you know today what I thought of the
product.
I gotta say I'm like how this thing works. It's got a very small profile, the blades are sharp, it got into
those tight spaces with ease.
Cutting the thicker hair that was on the
sides here had no problem at all. Only a
few issues with this device. I'd say one
of the issues is in here, when you push
this back, lot of hair can get stuck in there.
It happened to me a few times. Had
to clean it out. You can either rinse it under
water or use a brush to go in there and
get that out of there.
Second issue I had is that this comes with a AA battery and the power starts off strong
with a new battery, but I could hear it
slowly fade as I was going through and
cutting the thicker hair. Not to sure
how long this is actually gonna last
Gillette says you should get 1 to 1.5 months out of it.
I'm not too sure about that. I think
maybe a couple more trims it sounded
like I might get through with this. But, you have to see.
It's based on your own personal use of this device.
As far as the grip on it it's got this nice rubber
grip here. Very easy to hold, very easy to
maneuver. You know, it's not slipping out
of your hand. I like that feature a lot.
Another thing that's very easy with this
is the attachments. All you do is you
just take it, snaps right into place, easy.
There's a little button on the back, you
press it, detaches it, no problem at all.
These are made of plastic, so if you
push too hard you might have an issue
where you might break it. But, other than
that, you know, they're labeled 1, 2 and 3
for the 2, 4 and 6mm.
You don't really need more than that for what you're doing. I mean, you're trying to get it down to that
short kind of stubble look or just even
like a smaller size beard and then
you're going in, if you want, and your shaving with the actual razor that it comes with.
Another cool feature is if we look at
the razor that this comes with and we
stick it on here, you'll see that it
actually detaches like this and you
could take any other Gillette Fusion
razor. Like for instance, this is the Proshield Power that
I've used in previous videos. If I pop this head off right here, I go ahead and stick it on, snaps right in.
If you got some of these laying around the house, you know, you don't have to worry about going out,
buying a new pack for this device. You know, everything works interchangeably, which is very nice.
You know, as far as where the battery is
located, all it is is right in the middle here.
You just unscrew it, sitting in
there, right there.
If you want to check out the sound that comes with this, you know, it's decent. It's probably
mid-range. You know, it's got some noise
to it but it's not, you know, too much to overpower you
Another nice feature of this
Gillette Fusion ProGlide Styler is this
organizer it comes with. So, all you have
to do is just put the trimmer right here
in the front. You put the razor in this
back part here, right there. And then you
can take the comb and just slide it
right in the back. So you do 1, 2 and 3
for the three different comb
attachments that you have.
So, the only other issue that
there's gonna be is with the cost.
As far as this goes, it's $22.49 on Amazon and that comes with the organizer.
But it only comes with that one razor there. So, that's not gonna last you too long before you're gonna
have to go out and get that replacement
blade pack and that's where that extra
cost comes in and that's kind of where
they get you with this product.
You know this device coming with a AA
battery, that's also gonna cause you to
have to buy more batteries down line. And
that's one of the issues I have with
this is it's not rechargeable. I like
to have a rechargeable device. I can just
plug it in and I'm good to go.
So, at the end of the day, this product is gonna be
for somebody out there who you plans on
shaving or is already shaving down to
the skin, but they also do beard trimming
at different times, you know, throughout the year.
But somebody, you know, who's
just got a beard on there, who's just
trimming that. I would suggest you go out
and you get a cheaper Multigroom 3000 at
$16.99. So, if you're looking for something
in the same price point that's gonna
be comparable but ultimately if you want
something for a beard that's,
you know, gonna give you that precision
give you that foil shaving the detailing,
then I would go with a Multigroom 7000.
But, now we're looking at to a
higher price point you know just under $60.
So overall, the Gillette Fusion ProGlide
Styler is a good product.
I recommend you go out and test it out.
