Gillette ProGlide Razor Blades

Which Gillette razor can you use with ProGlide PROBLADES?

The PRO, Fusion5 and SkinGuard Sensitive families are interchangeable when it comes to blades and cartridges. This means you can use any of these razor handles with a Fusion5 blade. If you want a long-lasting solution to your shaving needs, you can pick up a ProGlide value pack or subscribe to Gillette's Shave Club. Note that Gillette's PRO Sensitive preps are recommended alongside ProGlide PROBLADES. Whatever you choose, you'll save money in the process!

How do you clean ProGlide razor PROBLADES?

ProGlide cartridges are easy to clean. Just rinse the blade gently in water after every use, as well as after every few strokes for optimal effectiveness during each shave. Place the back of the cartridge facing upwards in water to dislodge any trapped hairs or dead skin. Be careful to avoid any impact and don't wipe the cartridge, as this can change its precise structure and damage the fine blades. Instead, for stuck hairs, rinse longer and move the razor more vigorously if necessary. To help the PROBLADES and the triple blade stabiliser system that holds them dry properly, you should ideally place the razor on a razor stand or mini hanger. Alternatively, you can simply store the razor over a rack to air dry.

Microcomb guard to guide hairs to the blades

Behind the soft, flexible microfins of the ProGlide cartridge, a unique microcomb helps to gently guide hairs towards the blades. The microfins stretch the skin in front of the blades to create an even surface, while the microcomb positions the hairs for optimal cutting.

Cushioning Lubrastrip for slick glide

The ProGlide PROBLADES are enhanced by Gillette's iconic cushioning Lubrastrip. This thin, orange, pre-lubricated strip is activated when wet, slowly releasing its ingredients onto the skin for a smooth glide. The Lubrastrip also fades with use from orange to white, indicating when it's time to switch blades.

Our sharpest blades (*blades 1 to 4) for incredible closeness

ProGlide PROBLADES are coated with an anti-friction layer, which helps to ensure rong>a comfortable shave. As there are 5 blades on a cartridge, each hair can be cut up to 5 times in one stroke, leading to impressive closeness. ProGlide PROBLADES are our sharpest blades for ultimate closeness and are extremely efficient and long-lasting.

Spring-mounted blades for a comfortable shave

The ProGlide's carefully positioned blades are individually spring mounted, which allows them to move up and down within the cartridge. This way, the blades can react automatically to the irregular surface of your skin. Combined with the FlexBall pivot and the ergonomic handle of the ProGlide razor, this technology ensures that the shave stays comfortable even on tricky areas.

Why Choose ProGlide Razor Blades?

A close and comfortable shave to always be at your best

ProGlide razor blades are designed for men who want to look and feel their best every day. The cartridges feature many of Gillette's most advanced details: Gillette's sharpest blades and a triple blade stabiliser, microfins combined with a microcomb, all enhanced by the cushioning effect of the iconic Lubrastrip. ProGlide razor blades provide an uncomprimisingly comortable, clean shave but, for added comfort during and after the shave, use the PRO Sensitive Shaving Gel, which combines shaving gel with skincare.

How can I tell when my Gillette ProGlide Razor Blades need cartridge changing?

Like all of our Pro range razors, Gillette ProGlide blades need to be changed once they start to become dull since they will no longer cut as well or shave as closely. Take a close look at the five blades in your razor cartridge for obvious signs of dullness. Keep an eye open for nicks, too, since these affect razor blade performance. Change your Gillette ProGlide razor as soon as you detect it is not performing as well as it once did.

How often should I change my Gillette ProGlide razor blades?

Depending on your shaving regime and the coarseness of your hair, Gillette ProGlide razor blades should last for up to a month before they need to be switched out. Ensure you use our shaving accessories, such as our mini hanger, to help make sure each cartridge will be cared for properly when it is not in use. Also, use one of our shaving gel products to make sure your razor blades glide when you shave since this can help to preserve their integrity, too. Avoid tapping any Gillette razor cartridges to remove debris when shaving because this can cause damage to the mounting position of the blades.

Can I use Gillette ProGlide Razor Blades with any other Gillette Razor line?

Whether you purchase a 4-pack, an 8-pack, a 12-pack or even a 24-pack of Gillette ProGlide Razor blades, you can use your razor blade cartridges with any of the Pro, Fusion5 or SkinGuard Sensitive handles that we produce. This makes any pack of ProGlide razor cartridges extremely versatile, of course.

Are there differences between the Fusion5 and ProGlide blades?

Both the Gillette ProGlide blades and the Fusion5 refills have a five-bladed design in their cartridges, but the similarities end there. Firstly, Gillette ProGlide is part of our Pro range of razor blades but the Fusion5 is not, meaning it contains ultra sharp PROBLADES. In addition, ProGlide blades benefit from a triple blade stabiliser. This technology, offered in the ProGlide range, helps to maintain optimal distance between each of the five blades. Furthermore, ProGlide Blades have a lubrication before and after the blades, to shield the skin from irritation during shaving.
