Our Gillette SkinGuard is our latest product innovation with new technology designed to stop irritation and is clinically proven for sensitive skin. This innovative razor uses SkinGuard technology positioned between two optimally-spaced blades to gently smooth and flatten 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. Because we have designed these blades to help stop irritation, you will not as close as the shave that you would expect from our Fusion family razors with 5 blades.
