Whats the point if its not as good as my fusion?

Blades are much cheaper. The most expensive DE blade is around 25-30 cents. Most are in the 8-13 cent range. Fusion cartridges are well over a dollar each, and they only last me about as long as a DE blade. With a thick beard, they don't clog up as fast (big problem for me). That's why I switched. I do, now, get my face about as smooth as I ever did with a Fusion but without spending as much. For a while, my face was always a little disappointingly rough.

I almost quit because one particular razor was a little sharper and more aggressive than I was ready for. My face was sore for the first week or so. After sticking with it, it's way cheaper and especially faster for me, since I like to let my facial hair grow for a few days before shaving.
