Description
The Gillette SkinGuard razors were designed for a great shave that helps prevent irritation and razor bumps. The SkinGuard feature smooths your skin and protects it from the blades, all while cutting hair at the skin level to help reduce tugging or pulling. The 2 low-cutting-force blades and lubrication before and after the blades help shield skin from irritation. Made with an ergonomic handle, these razors maximize your control and overall shaving experience. The precision trimmer on the back of the razor is perfect for styling facial hair and shaving hard-to-reach places. The microcomb helps smoothly guide hair to the razor for a comfortable, close shave. Each blade refill lasts up to one month of shaves. The SkinGuard razors are clinically proven for sensitive skin while giving you the reliable shave of Gillette razors. Your shave will have the right blend of closeness to avoid potential irritations you may have experienced from other razors. This may be a bit different from the Gillette shave you've experienced in the past but you will still get a great shave that helps stop irritation and razor bumps.

I have been using Gillette for a long time at least since the 80's when I was in the Army. Being in the Army it requires that you shave and be clean cut and this razor provided me with that look. It makes a difference what you put on your face. I always preferred the best, smooth Gillette shave. I am now 65 but most people think I am 50. I owe that to never settling for any other razor just the best from Gillette.

Quality of this razor has decreased significantly in the last year of use. I shave every single day and this razor has become what seems to be dull right out of the package, skips area of hair, and I don’t have much facial hair to be skipping. Scratches my neck and does not shave close, regardless of how I hold the handle and/or how much pressure I apply when shaving. Not to mention, these razor blades are NOT inexpensive, Get better Gillette.

Be assured this isn't what we ever expect with the quality and safety checks we have in place, so long as you continue to use light and gentle strokes against the grain, and use warm water and a shave prep. Your loyalty, safety, and satisfaction are of the utmost importance to us, so we'd like to hear from you about this, since we take reports like this seriously.

I purchased these blades after I first saw them at the pharmacy. I am so glad I did when they say it's for sensitive skin they really mean it. I love these blades and I never wanted to run out so I went back to the store and purchased another 6 packs. Of you have sensitive skin like mine do give these blades a try you will be glad you did and your face will thank you for it.

I tried this and when I opened it was surprised to see the design only had two blades but it had high reviews so I tried anyways. I wound up with several nicks (I’ve been shaving for 30+ years and haven’t had a nick since teen days of disposable razors). It was absolutely not a close shave and very uncomfortable shave. I will never use these blades again!

We're sorry to hear about your experience. When we crafted our SkinGuard Razor, we wanted those with sensitive skin to get a close shave while protecting that delicate skin. While we're sure you know this with 30 years of shaving experience, for the best results, use warm water, shave prep, and shave against the grain. This helps the razor glide over your skin with ease, remove that unwanted hair, and protect it. We take reports like this seriously since we have many safety checks in place to prevent this. When you have a moment, please give us a call at 800-445-5388.
Best Razor for sensitive skin

Honestly, I gave up on razors in general. I always got razor bumps no matter what. Tried different creams and lotions. Nothing helped. Would take 3 days to heal and by then the stubble was out of control. Switched to electric for years. Then skin guard came out. I figured I give it 1 last try. Being it’s easier to travel with a razor than an electric shaver. Amazing shave! Obviously stays smoother longer than electric. But zero irritation! I’m hooked! Seriously, great job

Absolute Waste Of Money Protected My Skin So Well It Didn't Even Shave Anything Went Over An Area Multiple Times And Still Have Stubble
1 reply from TheGilletteTeam team - 5 months ago
Above all else, your safety and satisfaction are our top priority. While our SkinGuard Razor was crafted to protect sensitive skin, we still expect it to give you smooth results. While we're sure you know this, we recommend using warm water and a pre-shave to soften it up. Afterward, use light and gentle strokes and shave against the growth of the hair for an even closer shave. We'd love to learn more about your experience, and share more about our ProGlide Shield Razor you may find better for your grooming routine. When you have a second to talk Harry, please give us a call at 800-445-5388.

I've used this three times already and I really like it. Due to a medical condition my face was so dry and peeling it would wake me up at night. Previously when I shaved my my face was red and inflamed and irritated. This shaver along with radically changing My diet has eliminated all facial discomfort. I will continue to use this shaver as long as you make it. Thank you for a great product now don't let this go to your head and raise the price.
Used twice so far, no irritation

Not sure what's so different about these blades but they definitely work! Not super close on the shave but I think that's the idea. Too close and you will get irritation. Definitely will be buying these again.

My face is very sensitive and have tried NUMEROUS different types/styles of razors and my face always felt like it was on fire. I just bought the Skinguard one and tried it. It was THE BEST RAZOR I have EVER used!! My face doesn't feel like it is on fire and there was ZERO tug/pull. I will definitely tell all of my buddies about this razor. Thank you again for this GREAT RAZOR!!

I have been using it for about a year as I have sensitive skin, but I don't like the fact it doesn't give a close shave. It takes several "passes" to have a decent shave, so I end up with some irritation. I will try Pro Glide Shield looking for a clean shave and less "passes". If this doesn't work, I may try another brand.

With our SkinGuard Razor, we wanted those with sensitive skin to be able to enjoy a close and comfortable shave. We're so sorry to hear about your experience, and with the numerous quality and safety checks we have in place, we wouldn't expect this. Because of the nature of this razor, as it's designed to avoid irritation, we don't expect it to get as close to your skin as compared to our Fusion ProGlide Shield. However, your experience and results should still be smooth especially if you use light gentle strokes, shave against the growth of your hair, and you use warm water and a pre-shave. We'd like to learn more, so when you have a free moment, give us a call at 800-445-5388.

I lather with lots of warm water & shaving gel, and gently glide the razor across my skin, yet this still happens AND the razor doesn’t even get all the hair off. Unless there’s something wrong with my process, not sure this razor is right for my sensitive skin. It gets a lot of the hair off, but not all of it.

Juni - 10 months ago, Verified purchaser
I’m a woman (not that it matters we shouldn’t be genderizing razors lol) but I will ONLY use this razor. ABSOLUTELY NO razor bumps AT ALL!! After using countless “women’s razors”, even ones that claimed to be for sensitive skin I would have horrible and painful razor bumps, razor burn, cuts, and overall just irritated skin. I think this was due to the poor quality and the HEAVILY fragranced women’s razors. I have been using this razor exclusively for 3 months and it gets rid of all unwanted hair and leaves my skin soft, calm, and clean. Literally use it all over my body i’m obsessed.
Never again

Blade is dull right out the box. Took multiple passes to shave and its not even a close shave. I’ve had better from disposable razors. Of course theres no fear of knicks when the blade is useless
1 reply from TheGilletteTeam team - 10 months ago
Everyone deserves a smooth and comfortable shave, even those with sensitive skin. Our SkinGuard blades were designed for those with sensitive skin so that they can experience the shave that they crave most. The SkinGuard technology flattens the skin away from the razor blades which helps the blade trim at the surface level without irritating the skin. Of course, this works best when you hydrate the skin first with warm water, use a pre-shave, and shave against the growth of the hair. We're sorry you had to go over your hair multiple time, so we'd like to learn more. When you have a free moment, give us a call at 800-445-5388.

For years I dealt with a lot of nicks and cuts and the blood that resulted. This razor hardly ever nicks my skin and I enjoy shaving with it. It also gives me almost as close a shave as any of the others.

Worst razor I have tried from Gillette. I always get the fusion 5 and decided to try something new. This razor has a tough time cutting hair when going with grain, have to cut against the grain. Overall junk.

Everyone deserves a great shave, even those with sensitive skin. The Gillette SkinGuard is designed specifically for men with sensitive skin to deliver Gillette’s most comfortable shave. While our SkinGuard can still get a close and comfortable shave when used alongside warm water and a pre-shave, it's more optimized for those who are willing to accept a less close shave to experience more skin comfort. We're sorry you had to shave in a different manner than what you're used to, so we'd like to learn more about your experience. When you have a free moment, give us a call at 800-445-5388.

This item is the same product as the Venus Gillet for women’s p*bic hair. The Venus is $14.99 and this one is $9.99, it’s ridiculous. They’re the same even the descriptions are the same. The only difference is that the Venus is targeted towards women and it’s pink. Just get this one ladies.

While they may look the same, the Pubic Hair and Skin Razor is different than the SkinGuard. The Pubic Hair and Skin Razor was crafted to be used for the pubic area and adapt to the contours more easily. The handle in particular is sleeker and provides better control for shaving the pubic area. Your feedback is important, and if you'd like to get in touch to talk to one of our representatives to share your experience, you can do so by dialing 800-445-5388.
