Good, not great razor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this razor as part of a program for me to review it. That aside here's my honest review of the product. Frankly, it was better than I was expecting. I had low expectations seeing as how it's only two blades in the same frame as the 5 blade Fusion. However, it performed admirably. I normally shave with a double edge safety razor and while this definitely wasn't as close or precise, it shaved closer than I was expecting and left me with very little if any, irritation. Having the blades further apart really did help and I didn't feel the normal tug. If it was free or as cheap as using a double edge razor, I might consider using this on a more permanent basis, especially when I have a beard and am only shaving my neck and cheeks. However, the price point will probably keep this from being my regular razor. But if you struggle with razor burn, want something a little less aggressive than a double edge, and don't mind spending the money on it, then this is your razor.

solid razor, works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the razor handle has a nice feel, it's not too thick or too thin. i like that the handle doesn't use batteries and/or vibrate, that always seemed like a gimmick to me. the cartridge mechanism works exactly as it should; easy to change out new razor cartridges. No surprises, and that's a good thing.

Great razor for home or travel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoy using this razor. It only takes a few sweeps to clear off the hair on my face. It's amazing how clean the skin is after the shave. Really enjoy using this product. Would recommend to my family and friends

Would be great if it were just a regular 2x blade

This razor would be great if it were just a regular twin blade. I'm a clean shaven (head) black male. I like for my head to be baby-butt smooth (I hate the feel of stubble) so I shave my head almost everyday. I used to use a Mach 3 (Turbo) but 3 blades caused too much irritation for everyday use so I switched to a safety razor which caused less irritation but caused shaving to be a more tedious and time-consuming task. I eventually ended up trying Dollar Shave Club and settled on the twin blade they offered. It worked great! I could shave my head faster than with a safety razor, but still get a close shave everyday w/ no irritation and razor bumps, but I hated the feeling of the cheap plastic handle so I gave this one a try. It works good, but not quite as close as the DSC. If Gillette made a modern reboot of the twin blade in the mold of the Mach 3 (Turbo) w/ a metal handle and the complimentary stand I guarantee it would be a hit!

We're happy to hear that you overall liked our SkinGuard Razor and had some feedback on how to improve it! You can make the most out of all of our razors by warming your skin for about two minutes and using shaving cream/foam. This will help soften your hair for an easier glide over your skin allowing for a close shave. While all of our consumers are important to us, we wanted to focus on our consumers with sensitive skin for this razor specifically. While it should still get a close shave, it won't be as close as our Fusion Razors. We'd like to hear your suggestions and learn more about your experience with our SkinGuard and Mach3 Turbo blades. Give us a call at 800-445-5388.

I would buy this razor, for sure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really do like shaving with this razor. It is very smooth on my face. I did not experience any razor bumps and/or cuts and no breakout from using a fresh/new razor. Would highly recommend this razor!! Even feels good in your hand.

I found my Razor

i had a Norelco electric, then I switched back to a new version of the "old school" hand held razor, by Van Der Hagen, thinking okay the Dutch got the clue book on shaving. Wrong!!! So - i randomly picked the Gilllette's SkinGuard, but purposely picked 2 blades versus the most blades. To test the closeness without nicks or pulling. Wow!!!! This razor will refuse to cut me! No matter the angle or pressure I apply - I get the smoothest shave I have ever gotten in over 30 years!!!!! of trying......Best razor on the planet!!!!

Sharp blades, but be careful of how you store this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The razor felt good in my hand and well contoured and textured for a solid grip. The blade was very sharp and felt smooth against my face. However the attachment point between the blade and the razor seemed flimsy and the blade seemed floppy when not actively shaving. What I really didn't like is that the second day I went to use the razor the white strip on the bottom of the blade was stuck to the counter. If you don't dry the blade and/or store it vertically without touching anything the conditioning strip becomes very tacky. After it was stuck, the blade didn't feel as comfortable when shaving.

Your safety and satisfaction are equally important to us! The best way to connect your refill to the handle, is to firmly press the handle into the back of the blade, while it is in the plastic holder. You'll know the blade is fully attached when hear you a click. After you are done shaving, be sure to store your razor either in an organizer/holder so that the blades and lubrastrip are not touching any surfaces. If you don't have an organizer or hold, place your razor face up on a flat surface. This will ensure enough air can circulate around the razor and the lubrastrips will stay intact. If you would like to share more about your experience, please give us a call at (800) 445-5388.

Great product, but....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a neat product for those with sensitive skin issues. I have never heard of this type of razor from Gillette. I personally have sensitive skin on my neck and this didn't affect me. Although the razor was gentle, it doesn't provide a close shave, which is not my type. I had to use my normal razor to get the close shave that I desire. The design is neat and cool, but it wasn't my type. I would still recommend because it is gentle!

We are excited to learn the new technology behind our SkinGuard razors gave you a gentle shave! This innovative razor uses two optimally-spaced blades to smooth and flatten the skin away from the blades. The blades ensure that hair gets trimmed at the surface level, with less tug and pull, while sensitive skin stays guarded against irritation. Because of this, you will not get as close a shave as you would expect from our Fusion family razors with 5 blades. If you would like to share more about your experience, please give us a call at (800) 445-5388.

Prefer a more narrow design to reach edge areas

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The lubrication stripes feel nice when I shave, but I would prefer just 1 stripe and a more narrow design so I can get edge areas better. Edge areas like near my nostrils, the bottom of my neck and the edge of my sideburns are easier to shave closely with a more narrow blade design. The blades themselves are nice and give a close shave. My only issue is the size of the head.

We truly appreciate your feedback about our new SkinGuard blades, Jeff, and we'd like to share some additional information for you. On the top of the cartridge, there is a single blade to help reach those hard to reach areas, like near your nostrils, the bottom of your neck and around the edge of our sideburns. We'd still like to share all of your feedback with our R&D team, so if you would like to give us a call at (800) 445-5388, we'd like to gather all of these details. We hope you stay smooth, Jeff!
