With sensitive skin, you can count on us to guard your shave!

Hi Benji, 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. Please give us a call at (800) 445-5388 Monday-Friday 9a-6p EST if we can help further.

A close shave is the cornerstone of many razors we offer within our line, the Skinguard is just a little different. We've created it to trim your beard at surface level while protecting sensitive skin from both irritation as well as pulling. Our handle design does work to absorb the weight of your hand as you take care of your shave needs. This style allows both of the precisely placed blades to press less on your skin, while the middle guard between them keeps everything smoothed for a prime hair cutting surface. Our Skinguard cartridge also has lubrication before as well as after the blades, to keep you moisturized and protected throughout your routine. As with any great shave, using plenty of shave gel or foam on warm moistened skin will help reduce friction while you pass over your whiskers. Every product we manufacture is tested for performance as well as your safety and comfort. Please share more about your experience with our Specialists at (800) 445-5388.

We always hope for a close and smooth shave, Thomas, so we're sorry to hear that this wasn't the case. As with all razors, longevity varies from consumer to consumer depending on how tough and thick your hair is, how often you use the razor & on which areas of the body, and how well you rinse the razor. However, we expect that the SkinGuard cartridge would last as long as a Fusion family cartridge, approximately 1 month. Our SkinGuard technology also 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.
