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 want you getting the most out of our blades, Christopher, and we're here to help. Like our other blades, there are a few factors that can impact the blade's longevity including how tough and thick your hair is, how often you use the razor & on which areas of the body, and how well you rinse the razor. If you would like to share more details about the life you experience with these SkinGuard blades, please give us a call at (800) 445-5388. Our Gillette Specialists would like to pass on your feedback.

The Skinguard razor is designed especially for people with sensitive skin who have been prone to razor burn and ingrown hairs with their past products. Its unique SkinGuard is positioned between the blades to shave hair and guard the skin. It works to minimize tug and pull and cut hair at skin level, preventing irritation and ingrown hairs. Because the blades are designed to ride slightly above the skin you will not see quite as close a shave, but irritation will be minimized if not eliminated. We do realize that every guy is unique when it comes to their grooming needs and want to give everyone a comfortable option. If you have never had sensitivity issues then we would suggest the Fusion ProShield for the smoothest, closest shave possible.
