[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the star of the show. The bar gently preps the skin before the blades hit, removing dead skin cells and lifting hairs for a closer shave. I noticed a significant reduction in ingrown hairs and smoother skin overall, especially on my neck which is prone to irritation.

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 at all a good razor, felt like shaving with a chainsaw. Really disappointing versus the Gillette ProGlide (would recommend that). Literally shaved once with it this morning and going to buy a different razor today. Gets 2 stars because it is slightly better than a dollar store disposable razor, but only because of how it looks and that it has a stand. Definitely do not buy this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The GilletteLabs with Exfoliating Bar Razor is very sharp for that perfectly clean shave. The exfoliating bar really helps to assist in a clean, nick free shave with zero irritation or razor burn. It also comes with a convenient magnetic stand to keep things simple

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best razor. Doesn't irritate my skin at all but it still gives a very close shave. The girls in the house steal it often too. It's very heavy and substantial. The nicest razor I've ever had for sure.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the best experience with a razor i have ever had. It worked amazing and the stand was very nice edition to the package. it is a little expensive i would say and it feels strong and it feels like it would last a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just picked up the GilletteLabs with Exfoliating Bar Razor and I’m seriously impressed. The design is sleek and feels premium in hand, and the magnetic stand is a great touch. It shaves super smooth thanks to the built in exfoliating bar no tugging or irritation. You can tell it’s built to last, and with the lifetime warranty, it feels like a solid investment. Quick, clean, and efficient.definitely a game-changer for my morning routine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these razors. they are super sturdy. it comes with a heavy base to sit upright. with the base, it doesn't have to lay on the counter and get all rusty. it has the five blades that i have come accustomed to and it grips good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So this razor is nice. Its very easy to use and forms to my skin great. It performs a smooth cut and keeps my skin from being irritated. The base that it sits in is also great helps keep the razor dry.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Out of all the Gillette razors that I have owned over the years this one is absolutely amazing couldn't get a closer cut to my face than any other ones. I'm surprised it took him this long to get this razor out.
