Gillette Labs Men's Special NFL Patriots Edition Shaving Razor with 4 Refills and Magnetic Stand

I've been a loyal Gillette customer for over three decades. I started with their basic razors Sensor when I first began shaving, moved to the Mach 3 then Fusion when it launched, and have been happily stocking up on Proglide Proshield for years. These were solid, reliable products that did exactly what they were supposed to do: deliver a close, comfortable shave. Then came GilletteLabs with the "exfoliating bar," and I'm beyond disappointed. This product perfectly represents what's wrong with Gillette's current direction. Instead of focusing on what made them great—making exceptional razors that simply work—they're pushing unnecessary gimmicks that nobody asked for. I've been getting perfectly smooth shaves for 30 years without needing my razor to exfoliate for me. Let's be clear: this razor costs more than the Proglide Proshield, yet it performs worse. The shave isn't as close, the cartridges probably will not last as long, and the exfoliating bar feels like a marketing gimmick that adds bulk without adding value. It's painfully obvious this "innovation" exists primarily to justify a higher price point, not to improve the shaving experience. I can't help but suspect these products are designed by executives and consultants who probably don't even shave regularly themselves. If they did, they'd know that what customers want is simple: sharp blades, good lubrication, a comfortable handle, and a reasonable price. We don't need "heated razors," "exfoliating bars," or whatever gimmick comes next. For over a century, Gillette built its reputation on one thing: making the best shaving razors in the world. The Proglide Proshield was proof that they still knew how to do that. Why abandon what works? Why not invest in making those proven products better and more affordable instead of chasing gimmicks? I genuinely hope Gillette returns to its roots. Until then, I'll be sticking with my stockpile of Proshield cartridges and seriously considering whether my next purchase will be from a competitor who still understands that sometimes the best innovation is perfecting the basics.

Not good. Doesn't compare to Fusion. The blade is good for only two days.

Maybe I received defective blade cartridges, but I did not like shaving with this razor. It did not give me a close or comfortable shave. Sheving with the first cartridge felt like shaving with a half dull blade, so I tried another cartridge; same result. I have been using the Mach 3 cartridges for many years and they privide a far more comfortable and closer shave for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This razor is a game-changer! The exfoliating bar really makes a difference—it gently preps the skin before the blades glide through, giving me one of the smoothest and cleanest shaves I’ve ever had. It feels effortless, no tugging or irritation, and it definitely cuts down on razor bumps. The handle feels premium, well-balanced, and comfortable to hold. I also love that it comes with a wall holder—it keeps things neat and within reach. Overall, it’s a sleek, effective, and innovative razor that delivers on its promise.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My experience with this Gillette razor has been simply exceptional. From the first use, I noticed an abysmal difference compared to other brands. Its advanced multi-blade technology and flexible pivot head adapt perfectly to every contour of the face, guaranteeing an incredibly flush shave without any irritation. The ergonomic handle with excellent grip provides superior control, and the durability of its cartridges completely justifies the investment. In addition, its elegant base is not only practical to keep it dry and in good condition, but it looks fantastic in the bathroom. It is, without a doubt, the best ally for a perfect shave and with professional results at home.

I’ve been using Gillette razors and Edge for the past 57 years. The SKINGUARD razor and blades is the best combination that I’ve ever used. This is a truly great product. Keep it up, and thank you.

See picture. Can leaks ! Can't take on trips. It's always a mess. Foam bubbles out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the best designed razors I've ever used. It's 5 Blade Design, Everglide Lubristrip, Exfoliating Bar, and Flex-Disc contours to my face and gave me an efficient and comfortable shave. It's durable design and cost effective replacement razors equate to years of use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great razor, it shaves and exfoliates at the same time. Not harsh on the skin. It leaves shaved parts feeling smooth and soft. I would purchase again. It was a good kit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is easily the best razor I have ever had. Smooth clean shave with a comfortable grip. It comes with a very visually aesthetic stand. I will purchase again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't usually use a standard razor to shave my beard. When I was given the chance to sample this Gillette Lsbs razor, I jumped at the chance as I was curious about how the exfoliating bar would work with my sensitive skin. I'm walking away *very* impressed with this product. A smooth, clean shave with a durable razor. Bonus points for the companion stand - which does have some heft to it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This razor is pretty good in terms of its strong handle, the weight and the curve it has. It allows for a smoother shave and since it’s metal and rubber coated it’s durable. The multiple blades allow for a pretty good shave but for some spots you’ll have to go back and shave again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really loved it. My girlfriend stole it to shave her legs and completely stopped getting ingrown hairs. It’s a bit pricey, which is my only real complaint.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its amazing that Gillete was able to fit five blades for a smooth shave. Its well built. The best part that I loved is the stand that it comes with to keep your blade in a dedicated spot and no more mess.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great value for money, very durable with a great design. Very effective for my skin, and no strong scent. Lovely option for a great shave, and reasonably priced!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best Razor that I have ever used for sensitive skin. It’s the best 5 blade razor and you get many shaves out of one single piece. It’s a great price and the new razor that I will continue to use because of its effectiveness and easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the GilletteLabs with Exfoliating Bar Razor as a free sample from Influenster. I was impressed right away with the solid weight and premium feel, it’s definitely nicer to hold than cheaper razors. The shave itself was smooth and comfortable, and the exfoliating bar helped reduce irritation. The only downside is the cost of the replacement cartridges, which are on the expensive side. That said, if you don’t mind spending a little extra, this razor delivers a really good shave.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very good razor with nice heavy handle which gives good shaving control even in the shower! Ireally like it and the price is pretty good too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There's a lot to like about this razor but I'll start with its sturdiness. It's got a bit of weight to it which is great when holding it. It has some kind of ball that rotates to get tricky spots. Let's not forget about the base which allows you to put it away with the blade sitting up instead of laying on something. A lot of thought and consideration was given when this razor was made and it really shows, making it worth its value. There isn't any scent that it leaves behind which I also find as a bonus

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I find this razor to be very pleasant and sturdy. The blades cut well with little effort, and the handle's weight is nice and gives it a premium feel. That, paired with the nice base overall, gives it a nice value for the money.
