Gillette is preparing to launch its new product called “Fusion ProGlide Styler” in February. With this new gadget, the company expects to win over those guys who sport facial hair.

Gillette has always been about the clean-shaven look. But a recent survey by P&G revealed that more than 40 percent of men in North America style their facial hair. This is where the company saw opportunity and decided to introduce Gillette Fusion ProGlide Styler which is designed as a “precision styling tool for men with facial hair.”

The Gillette Fusion ProGlide Styler is a 3-in-1 facial hair styling tool that trims evenly, shaves closely and edges accurately. Its a 3-in-1 solution for men’s facial hair styling needs.

Gillette has roped in celebrity brand ambassadors like André 3000 Benjamin, Gael García Bernal and Adrien Brody to promote their new gadget.

The Fusion ProGlide Styler will hit North American stores in February with a suggested price of $19.99. After targeting the 48 million men with facial hair styling needs in North America, P&G will launch the Styler elsewhere over the next 12 to 18 months.

Though it would be available from February 2012, but you can pre-order your ProGlide Styler right now by clicking here.

Bravo’s creative hair-styling competition series Shear Genius saw the elimination of another stylist in Episode 5. Amy Michleb from Toronto, Canada was eased off as she could not impress the judges during the elimination challenge.

Amy is a young and dynamic stylist who is actively involved in the hair industry. She was the youngest stylist on Shear Genius season 3 which has gone international for the first time. Her elimination means that the competition is over for the youngest competitor.

The elimination challenge on Episode 5 of Shear Genius 3 was that the women will be styled in 1940’s hairstyles of finger waves and pin curls. The guest judge was Robert Vetica, a Hollywood hairstylist.

The stylists were given a challenge in which their models had husbands who were all currently serving in the military overseas. Their hair had to be given a 1940s style so that the women looked beautiful when they filmed messages to their men.

Amy, April and Janine found themselves among the bottom three as judges gave their verdict. Amy struggled because her hairstyle was turning 1930’s depression era. The judges came down on Amy, telling her that it wasn’t a style, it was a set, and that led to her elimination from Shear Genius season 3.

Amy’s husband – Woody Michleb, an award winning stylist himself was featured on ScissorBoy’s cosmetology program. In that episode, he demonstrated new hairstyling trends for Fall/Winter 2009.

After Amy’s elimination from Shear Genius 3, there are seven stylists who will now compete for the ultimate prize of $100,000 and prove they are the best of the bunch.
