We have designed our Gillette SkinGuard razor to stop irritation and is clinically proven for sensitive skin. Because of this, you will not get as close a shave as you would expect from our Fusion family razors with 5 blades. This innovative razor uses SkinGuard technology positioned between two optimally-spaced blades to gently smooth and flattens the skin away from the razor blades during the shave. This ensures that hairs get trimmed at the surface level, with less tug and pull, but sensitive skin stays guarded against irritation. The SkinGuard technology also absorbs the weight from the hand so blades press less on sensitive skin. It also has lubrication before and after the blade to minimize friction during the shave. If you would like to share more about your experience with our SkinGuard blades, please give us a call at (800) 445-5388.

We are sorry that you were not satisfied with the closeness of your shave with the Gillette SkinGuard. This razor is designed specifically for men with sensitive skin to deliver Gillette’s most comfortable shave. SkinGuard is equipped with Gillette’s sharpest, most advanced blades and is optimized for those who are willing to accept a less close shave in order to experience more skin comfort. If you would like our closest shave, then we recommend trying one of our 5-bladed Fusion razors.
