Nice Simple Razor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This razor was simple to use and easy to snap together. It gave me a good, close shave and I didn't have to go over any parts of my beard after I had already done them. I didn't end up with razor burn, which was the surprise and will probably have me repurchasing this razor again in the future. It wasn't a miracle worker, but it got the job done and didn't upset my skin. Give it a try if you tend to get razor burn or ingrown hairs.

Great for fine hair not so much for coarse

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Gillette SkinGuard Razor wasn't enough to handle my stubble. I tend to have very coarse beard stubble and with this razor I was unable to get a smooth shave. I have used many other Gillette razors and have had success. This was the first time using the Gillette Skin Guard and I more than likely won't be purchasing this razor again for myself. However I have two preteens that I would purchase them for as a starter razor as it was light weight and easy to use. I wouldn't recommend this razor for someone with coarse beard stubble but I would recommend it for a first time user or someone with finer beard hair.

Our Gillette SkinGuard razor is designed 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. Our Quality teams would love to talk with you further, so please give us a call at (800) 445-5388.

Gillette SkinGuard Razor leaves a smooth shave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Gillette razor I had tried for free and it shaved closer than any razor I've used in a long time. It left me with a clean and smooth shave - really liked the skinguard - no bumps or irritation. 2 blades worked just as well as more blades - cleaned up easily

Doesn’t cut thick, coarse hair

I was really hoping this product would work for me. I am a white male with very thick and coarse hair. It barely cuts the hair! I end up having to go over the same areas multiple times and have to push hard. It’s great on skin because it barely cuts!

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 as with a Fusion razor, 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. If you would like to share more about your experience feel free to contact us at (800)455-5388.

Best razor on the market

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far the best razor I have ever used! The skin guard works incredibly! It's so smooth that the first time I used it, I thought there must be a cover still on the razor. I couldn't believe that the razor worked so smoothly & closely. Nothing even compares to this razor. I highly recommend this product to anyone

The Gillette Skinguard is far from a traditionally styled Gillette razor like the Fusion 5. It's made especially for customers who have traditionally had trouble shaving with normal razors. It uses a Skinguard bar to depress the skin and allow the blades to glide over the surface of the skin. Additionally, it has two lubrastrip bars for added glide and comfort and a precision trimmer on the back for your nose and sideburn areas. When you have a moment give us a call at 800-445-5388 so we can get some clarity on your Skinguard experience and provide assistance to our loyal customer.

Love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like it a lot, I am one of those who has to shave every day, now I do it every other day, since the blade cuts close to the beautiful, its movable head reaches where other blades can not, super recommended!

Smooth shave with new technology

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This new SkinGuard razor is fantastic. Feels and looks premium. Has that upscale look I desire and want in a razor. So impressed with that first stroke went down my cheek. This blade simply folded along and felt so smooth. No irritation or hesitation whatsoever. Overall the comfort with this new SkinGuard razor is phenomenal and it cleans up easily under water by releasing any and all loose hairs.

Great Smooth Shaving. 2 blade system requires many

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OK. I've used this numerous times. Here are the things I like. The idea of shaving for those like me who have sensitive skin, this is a fantastic idea! It's extremely smooth when shaving. I really like it. The blades are far enough apart that so far they do not fill up and get clogged between the blades, which is a big plus to me. It never has dragged or felt like it pulling or scraping when using. The downside. It only has 2 blades. At least for me, I have a very thick beard and the two blades just don't seem to do the job very well for me. I have to go over the same areas multiple times and the blades still seem to leave uncut whiskers. If there were more blades perhaps along with the smoothness of the shaving, maybe that would make the shaving experience better, I'm not sure.

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 a new guard feature between the blades to reduce irritation and is optimized for those who are willing to accept a less close shave in order to experience more skin comfort. With this in mind, we recommend you try the product again. If you are still not satisfied with the product, we recommend trying one of our 5-bladed Fusion razors which delivers our closest shave and is still comfortable.

Sharp blades that are safe to touch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Gillette SkinGuard blades are sharp enough to give you a close shave, but gentle enough that it won't cut you. I am able to get very close shave and no irritation. These blades are advanced. They are sharp, will give you a clean, smooth shave. They also gentle to touch so need to worry about cutting yourself. The skin guard reduces irritation and redness. Say goodbye to razor bumps. I highly recommend these blades.
