Am I correct that this Fusion razor's blades come in two types? One for the power razor and another for the manual and these are not interchangeable?

Read the package picture. All Fusion blades can be used with all Fusion razors.

I am sorry, I can only say this, I ordered the RQ12 because that's what the owners manuel specified for my razor. I couldn't recommend anything else one way or the other. Sorry. See additional info, I was a bit lazy the first time.

I have both too. I can't be 100%sure, but it looks like you could possibly interchange the blades.

This evening I used this razor to see if in fact mine was as such. I placed two different blades in to see if one side of the blade protrudes further than the other. I didn't see any difference in either blades. As for shaving, the blade seemed to be the same aggressiveness on either side of the razor. Really no difference.

No, you have to have the right razor to go with the right blades. I ordered the blades for the wrong razor then had to buy a tech 4!

I prefer gels and feel like I get a closer shave, but I have also shaved with other types and still feel like I get a close shave due to the quality of the razor. And I prefer the Gillette Fusion Proglide due to the number of blades and the power and smoothness of the shave. This coming from someone with a tough beard.

Search for DE razor blades on Amazon. They have a lot of variety packs so you can test out different blades and find the one you like. I use Feather blades but they are the sharpest out there and have a required learning curve with safety razors. First time I used one, I almost bled out.

The blade designed for the Power model includes an additional "comb" at the leading edge which lifts and arranges the whiskers before the blades slice through them. But any fusion blade can be used with any fusion handle, power or otherwise.

With the red blade holder you can use any standard double edge safety razor blade. Just be careful while braking the double edge blade in half. The black razor holder is for the dovo "long blades", I purchased these on amazon. When I purchased the dovo shevette, it came with the regular double edge safety razor blade as well as the long blades. I seem to prefer the long blades, the regular blade just takes more time to do a shave. FYI you can also buy the regular blades already broken in half, but then you are limited by the available brands. Hope this helps, oh one more thing when braking the razor blades in half, keeping the wrapper on makes things easier and safer.

No, those are different sets of blades. That set is also listed in our storefront.

my understanding is that all the personna blades are different. only ever used this one though. cant say id recomend it. the blade it self is rather gentle in the razors ive used it in but doesnt stay sharp long. maybe 2 shaves where as with the feather blades i can get 10 shaves out of each

It seems to be designed to fit most standard razors such as the Mach 3 and similar razors. Some may not work if their handles are any thicker than a Mach 3 fusion. The main problem with this model is that the angle the razor sits at when in the handle makes it nearly impossible to shave correctly. I would recommend just taping a second razor to a dowel. It would be more effective and cost less. Just my suggestion.

No sir, just the HB4 and HB6 blades. U will get the best shave ever. Ive been using their products for over 4 yrs now

Any standard double edge blades will work. The quality of the blades they supply with this razor are questionable.Also, if you are new to using a safety razor, you should buy a sampler pack of blades of several different brands.One type of blade will not work for everyone. You need to try them yourself and see what works best for you.

You may be using the blades that accompanied the purchase of the razor. I used Trac II Gillette blades with the heavyweight razor, and got the same good results that I would have gotten with a Gillette razor. Latter, on an experimental basis, I tried the blades that accompanied the heavyweight razor with the razor; and the results weren't so good. Apparently nobody can make a razor quite as good as the Gillette razor. So, again, my suggestion is to use Gillette Trac II blades with the heavyweight razor.

I do not think so, if it is the 3000 series. The picture shows a two piece. and your razor is probably a one piece blade.

I don't know. I haven't had to sharpen or replace blade yet. It looks like it's just 2 standard razor blades. I was assuming you just replace when it gets dull.
