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.

I would absolutely buy this product again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Gillette SkinGuard Blade was great. My only small complaint is that similar to the Fusion Blades, the overall size of the blade relative to my face seems large. However, I experienced zero tugging or pulling of the hairs and the blades were so sharp that I never even felt them cut the hairs. It was amazing. Even better, the next day I had no signs of razor burn or irritation. A few days later I saw these blades when I was in an Art of Shaving location and I bought myself another set of cartridges.

Pass on this one

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While it does work as a skin guard, the Gillette SkinGuard Razor left as much hair as it shaved. At first I thought it was just the first shaving, but continuous shavings in a 2 week period had to be redone with another razor. The only plus for this razor was it did not pull at the hairs.

Sharp Blades and Great Skin Protection!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The blades have the strips to protect your skin and the blades are sharp enough to give you a close shave. They are just as easy to change as other razors and in my opinion, they seem to last longer than other blades. I have only used 2 blades since I received the razor almost 2 weeks ago and I probably could've got more shaves out of the first one but I wanted to make sure each blade is going to be as good as the other blades and they work great in protecting the skin while giving you a close shave each time. I would recommend these blades to anyone with sensitive skin.

Not that bad of a razor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is unique to the other shaver heads because of the design strips on it. Where other products might have cheap shaver heads this product will give you a close shave that you want. If this is what you want than I recommend this product for you. I didn't know there was a sample product for this razor. I might this razor again it all depends on what you look for in a razor.

Very close shave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Gillette SkinGuard Blade offers a very close shave and a smooth experience. I would recommend Gillette SkinGuard Blade to anyone that wants a great shave at a low cost. Worth every penny to buy the Gillette SkinGuard Blade.

Effortless and close shave, gentle on sensitive sk

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Gillette SkinGuard Razor works incredibly well! You can hardly feel the razor as it glides completely effortlessly over my skin and hairs, while lubricating before and after the blades in order to protect sensitive skin and prevent any irritations and razor bumps. I love how close of a shave I get with this razor! After using this razor there is no stubble at all left behind, and I don't have to worry about double checking the hard to shave areas, such as under my nose and around the chin area, as the swiveling razor head is very easy to maneuver. Using this razor leaves me with baby soft and smooth skin, no irritations whatsoever. I highly recommend this razor! I received a complimentary sample for testing purposes, in return for my honest opinion.

Terrible design

I tried this and when I opened it was surprised to see the design only had two blades but it had high reviews so I tried anyways. I wound up with several nicks (I’ve been shaving for 30+ years and haven’t had a nick since teen days of disposable razors). It was absolutely not a close shave and very uncomfortable shave. I will never use these blades again!

We're sorry to hear about your experience. When we crafted our SkinGuard Razor, we wanted those with sensitive skin to get a close shave while protecting that delicate skin. While we're sure you know this with 30 years of shaving experience, for the best results, use warm water, shave prep, and shave against the grain. This helps the razor glide over your skin with ease, remove that unwanted hair, and protect it. We take reports like this seriously since we have many safety checks in place to prevent this. When you have a moment, please give us a call at 800-445-5388.

Mixed feelings

I have been using it for about a year as I have sensitive skin, but I don't like the fact it doesn't give a close shave. It takes several "passes" to have a decent shave, so I end up with some irritation. I will try Pro Glide Shield looking for a clean shave and less "passes". If this doesn't work, I may try another brand.

With our SkinGuard Razor, we wanted those with sensitive skin to be able to enjoy a close and comfortable shave. We're so sorry to hear about your experience, and with the numerous quality and safety checks we have in place, we wouldn't expect this. Because of the nature of this razor, as it's designed to avoid irritation, we don't expect it to get as close to your skin as compared to our Fusion ProGlide Shield. However, your experience and results should still be smooth especially if you use light gentle strokes, shave against the growth of your hair, and you use warm water and a pre-shave. We'd like to learn more, so when you have a free moment, give us a call at 800-445-5388.

Bumps??

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband is African American and has very sensitive skin. He hadn't found a razor that can prevent razor bumps/ingrown hairs until now. He used it daily for 1 week and the razor bumps/ingrown hairs were minimized. Tremendously. He loves this razor and will continue to use it.
