[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My experience with this Gillette razor has been simply exceptional. From the first use, I noticed an abysmal difference compared to other brands. Its advanced multi-blade technology and flexible pivot head adapt perfectly to every contour of the face, guaranteeing an incredibly flush shave without any irritation. The ergonomic handle with excellent grip provides superior control, and the durability of its cartridges completely justifies the investment. In addition, its elegant base is not only practical to keep it dry and in good condition, but it looks fantastic in the bathroom. It is, without a doubt, the best ally for a perfect shave and with professional results at home.

Both the regular GilletteLabs and the heated version are a complete failure. The quality is simply not there. The razor looks fancy, but the moment you pick it up, it feels cheap and unstable. The handle rattles, the construction is weak, and it gives the impression of a low-grade product hiding behind premium marketing. The heated model is even worse — heavy, awkward, and absolutely pointless. The so-called “innovation” adds nothing to the shaving experience. There’s no vibration, no precision, and no comfort. Meanwhile, the Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide Power stands in a completely different league. It’s solid, perfectly built, and feels premium in every detail. The vibration helps cut through thick stubble effortlessly, delivering a smooth, clean, and irritation-free shave every single time. Nothing rattles, nothing feels cheap — just top quality and performance. In short, both GilletteLabs razors are overhyped and overpriced disappointments. Fusion5 ProGlide Power remains the real standard of quality and the only one worth buying.

I've been a loyal Gillette customer for over three decades. I started with their basic razors Sensor when I first began shaving, moved to the Mach 3 then Fusion when it launched, and have been happily stocking up on Proglide Proshield for years. These were solid, reliable products that did exactly what they were supposed to do: deliver a close, comfortable shave. Then came GilletteLabs with the "exfoliating bar," and I'm beyond disappointed. This product perfectly represents what's wrong with Gillette's current direction. Instead of focusing on what made them great—making exceptional razors that simply work—they're pushing unnecessary gimmicks that nobody asked for. I've been getting perfectly smooth shaves for 30 years without needing my razor to exfoliate for me. Let's be clear: this razor costs more than the Proglide Proshield, yet it performs worse. The shave isn't as close, the cartridges probably will not last as long, and the exfoliating bar feels like a marketing gimmick that adds bulk without adding value. It's painfully obvious this "innovation" exists primarily to justify a higher price point, not to improve the shaving experience. I can't help but suspect these products are designed by executives and consultants who probably don't even shave regularly themselves. If they did, they'd know that what customers want is simple: sharp blades, good lubrication, a comfortable handle, and a reasonable price. We don't need "heated razors," "exfoliating bars," or whatever gimmick comes next. For over a century, Gillette built its reputation on one thing: making the best shaving razors in the world. The Proglide Proshield was proof that they still knew how to do that. Why abandon what works? Why not invest in making those proven products better and more affordable instead of chasing gimmicks? I genuinely hope Gillette returns to its roots. Until then, I'll be sticking with my stockpile of Proshield cartridges and seriously considering whether my next purchase will be from a competitor who still understands that sometimes the best innovation is perfecting the basics.

Maybe I received defective blade cartridges, but I did not like shaving with this razor. It did not give me a close or comfortable shave. Sheving with the first cartridge felt like shaving with a half dull blade, so I tried another cartridge; same result. I have been using the Mach 3 cartridges for many years and they privide a far more comfortable and closer shave for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty solid razor. The handle feels good and the exfoliating bar actually makes the shave smoother than I expected. It’s easy to use and doesn’t slip, even when wet. The only downside is that the refills are a little pricey, but overall, it works really well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smooth and great shave. I love the price point as well. I love the design and fit in my hand. It is something I didn't even know I was missing now I won't use anything else.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My boyfriend loves this. It shaves clean and pretty close. It feels clean. Its durable and a bit heavy on the grip. Doesn't make noises! The stand it adorable!

Was very sceptical at first, but it is the best shave I have ever had. I cant beleive how close and smooth it left, i cant feel any stubble after. I hope it works for everyone else this well

I’ve been using Gillette razors and Edge for the past 57 years. The SKINGUARD razor and blades is the best combination that I’ve ever used. This is a truly great product. Keep it up, and thank you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such an amazing razor! I love th packaging, the material feels resistant and durable and it does the job very well. Not sure if it really exfoliates my skin but it’s amazing regardless
