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.

We think the comfort of your shave is worth every ounce of effort we put into the technology of our innovative Skinguard. Keep in mind hair density and its texture, as well as shaving frequency and surfaces, all come into play when you're talking about blade life. As you may know, using plenty of your favorite shave gel or foam on warm moistened skin gives you the closest results. Warmth before and during a shave helps to open pores and soften your hair before you pass over it with our blade's sharpened edge. Rinsing your cartridge often from the back in warm water between strokes and storing it face up with plenty of air circulation between uses will give you the best blade life. We want the best shave for you and your beard. Give our team a call at (800) 493-5388, if you'd like to tell us more about this.
