Gillette SkinGuard Sensitive Razor Blades (4 Pack)

How often should SkinGuard Sensitive cartridges be replaced?

SkinGuard Sensitive razor blades are designed to provide up to 20 comfortable shaves for men with sensitive skin, although this may vary depending on the frequency or intensity of your shaving routine. When your shave is less comfortable than usual, it's time to switch out your blades. To replace a SkinGuard Sensitive cartridge, just push the easy-release button on the razor head and insert a new one. When you hear the click, you'll know the cartridge is secure. SkinGuard Sensitive cartridges are cross-compatible with handles from the Fusion5 and PRO families.

Which shaving prep is recommended with SkinGuard Sensitive blades?

As the SkinGuard Sensitive is specially designed for sensitive skin, it's best to pair your razor blades with a similarly soothing gel or foam. Gillette's SkinGuard Sensitive Shaving Foam is loaded with soothing ingredients, features a touch of aloe, and is free from any dyes or alcohol that might cause irritation. Clinically proven for sensitive skin, this shaving foam helps your razor glide easily over the skin's surface, providing a smooth, reduced-friction stroke. Use Gillette's Aftershave Balm for hydration and added comfort post-shave.

Unique SkinGuard technology to protect the skin

Positioned between the razor's 2 low cutting force blades, the SkinGuard 'bridge' flattens the skin during shaving, acting as a preventative guard against shave irritation. Partially absorbing the pressure applied by the hand, it ensures gentle contact between the blades and the skin. It also slightly raises the blades away from the skin's surface, further enhancing shaving comfort.

Lubrication designed for sensitive skin with a touch of aloe

SkinGuard Sensitive blades feature Gillette's iconic cushioning Lubrastrip. Situated both before and after the blades, the strip's lubricating formula offers a comfortable shave that helps protect your skin from irritation and contains a touch of aloe. Activated when wet, the Lubrastrip releases lubrication onto the skin to create a slick, smooth surface for the blades to glide across.

Low cutting force blades for reduced friction

SkinGuard Sensitive ultra-fine blades are coated with an anti-friction layer. This coating helps to reduce the force required to cut even thick and curly hair, leading to reduced tug and pull during shave strokes. This also helps to prevent unnecessary friction and reduces the risk of shave irritation, resulting in a comfortable shave for sensitive skin.

Microcomb to gently guide hair to the blades

SkinGuard Sensitive cartridges come with an innovative microcomb. A feature of Gillette's most advanced cartridges, this microcomb is a line of ports designed to help gently guide the hairs towards the blades. Located in front of the blades, the microcomb helps to position hairs for optimal cutting.
