It gives a smooth shave.

Needs more blades

Bought this on a day that Sam's had this on sale, I usually use the 5 blade Pro Glide, but I have sensitive skin so I thought I would give it a try. Didn't get any nicks or cuts, but definitely does not give as close of a shave. Would rather have a few nicks and cuts with the Pro Glide and get a closer shave. For me I these were a waste of money and I will continue with the Pro glide.

I’ve been a fusion5 user for years and been happy with it. Decided to try the skin guard razor. It takes twice as long to shave and there is still a lot of stubble when done. This causes ingrown hairs and irritation because you have to grind the skin over and over. My advice. Try one first.

Closest shave with these razors

I have sensitive skin and have tried many razors over the past 40 years. This is by far the best razor for sensitive skin that I have ever used. There is no tugging and I do not think I could nick my skin even if I tried. There is absolutely no irritation. The shave is a little less close than regular razors but it is close enough for me.

Ditto on all comments about comparisons between 5 blades and this and of course I was aware that the shave would not be as close, but I did not expect having to replace the blade after a single use. I can get around the shave not being as close with a little more area prep and more frequent shaves. On my first use I was immediately dissatisfied with the shave, but when I went to use the same blade a few days later; the (Skinguard) surroundings had deteriorated to the point I would not dare to use it again. I shaved, rinsed it and placed it in the holder and I suppose it is possible that the few droplets of water that may have been left, went to to town on the Skinguard portion rendering the blades unusable. Seems like these blades will lead to unnecessarily high maintenance and for the price... YIKES!

I don’t shave as much as the majority guys out there, I’d say 95% of guys. I used to only shave every two weeks or so and that was in my late thirties. I now shave every couple days(I know boo-hoo) Point being, I hate it, it’s uncomfortable and I couldn’t imagine doing it EVERYDAY. I LOVE this shaver and I don’t have to cycle the blades out anywhere near as much as I had to with other blades. That includes ones made by Gillette as well. I think they’ve found the magic elixir to blade making. Thanks for making a tiresome and very painful task as enjoyable as it can be.

I purchased these blades after I first saw them at the pharmacy. I am so glad I did when they say it's for sensitive skin they really mean it. I love these blades and I never wanted to run out so I went back to the store and purchased another 6 packs. Of you have sensitive skin like mine do give these blades a try you will be glad you did and your face will thank you for it.

I’ve been using these blades for a couple of years now and they are the only ones that I’ll ever use ! They are the best blades that I’ve used from Gillette including the Tech Magic Rotary blade that I used when I was in Korea and when I was in Vietnam back in the late 60s !
