Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide 8 Refills - Five-Blade Cartridges

Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide 8 Refills bring eight replacement cartridges to the familiar five-blade shaving system. Each cartridge has five anti-friction blades, a large lubrication strip, microfins, and a precision trimmer on the back. Gillette lists each refill for up to 20 shaves.

Eight Cartridges, Five Blades

The package contains 8 blade refills, and each cartridge contains 5 blades. The large lubrication strip is designed to support glide, while the microfins stretch and smooth the skin before the blades pass over it.

A precision trimmer sits on the rear edge of every cartridge. It is intended for edging and harder-to-reach areas, including the area beneath the nose and along the sideburns.

Handle Fit and Replacement Cost

The cartridges fit Gillette ProGlide, Fusion5 ProGlide, and Fusion5 handles, while Gillette excludes GilletteLabs handles from this compatibility claim. CVS also identifies the refill as compatible with ProGlide and Fusion5 razors.

The eight-count package does not include a handle. Target lists the package at $34.99, or $4.37 per cartridge, as of 09/16/2026. Target identifies the pack as an 8-count refill with five blades per cartridge.

ProGlide Versus Fusion5

Both systems use five blades and share the Fusion handle platform. ProGlide adds a larger lubrication strip compared with the previous Fusion5 ProGlide design, while the Fusion5 refill uses a standard Lubrastrip.

An independent comparison describes the ProGlide handle as using FlexBall technology and places its lubrication strip above the standard Fusion5 strip. That distinction affects the cartridge design, but both products remain part of the same five-blade refill ecosystem.

Best Fit for Existing Handles

These refills suit users who already own a compatible Gillette Fusion5 or ProGlide handle and need replacement cartridges without adding another handle to the package. The eight-count format emphasizes replacement supply rather than a starter kit.

The main limit is platform compatibility: Gillette's stated fit covers its five-blade Fusion5 and ProGlide handles but excludes GilletteLabs. The product is therefore a replacement cartridge pack for an established handle system, not a complete razor set.
