The Gillette Fusion Proglide Power

In my blog entitled "Me and My Old Man" (under "Random Thoughts"), I told you how my Dad and I loved the Gillette razors. We would test every new razor and proclaim it a success. When Dad passed on, I had to do the testing and proclaiming all by my self.
In the earlier blog, I mused about having "Fusion Power" tattooed on my knuckles. It's a good thing I didn't because, as expected, Gillette has come out with a new model. I ran right out and bought it - the Gillette Fusion Proglide Power. Both the razor and the case are a rich royal blue. The five blades are thinner, sharper and supposedly give a smoother shave. It seemed smoother to me, but I'm so prejudice, I don't think I can be trusted.
The biggest difference is when you push the power button, starting the blades to vibrate, a light comes on. This light doesn't illuminate your face, it illuminates the palm of your hand. That probably makes it easier to turn the razor off in a dark room. All you have to do is push on the lighted button. Also, if you forget to turn the razor off before going to bed, it allows you to observe the razor as it vibrates across you floor towards your bed. I think I see a horror movie plot here with at least two sequels!
I am now testing my Mach 3 Turbo and my Fusion Power against the lovely blue, lighted Proglide. So far, the Proglide is the only one that can climb up a bedspread. I wonder if I can get the stupid Federal Government to give me a grant for my testing.
