Five Anti-Friction Blades: The handle is designed to be used with Gillette Fusion5 blade cartridges, which have five closely-spaced, anti-friction blades. This configuration is engineered to distribute pressure across the skin, helping to reduce irritation and provide a very close shave.

Precision Trimmer: A key feature of the Fusion system is the single blade on the back of the cartridge. This precision trimmer is ideal for styling facial hair, shaping sideburns, and reaching difficult areas like under the nose.

Ergonomic Design: The handle itself is designed for a secure and comfortable grip, even when wet. It is often made with a rubberized texture for better control and maneuverability.

Compatibility: A significant advantage of the Fusion system is the cross-compatibility of its blades. The "Simple" handle is designed to work with all Gillette Fusion, Fusion5, Fusion ProGlide, and Fusion ProShield blade refills. This allows you to upgrade your blades without having to buy a new handle.

Lubrication Strip: The blades that come with the handle are equipped with a lubrication strip that helps the razor glide smoothly over the skin. The strip fades to white over time, signaling that it's time to change the blade for an optimal shave.
