How do you clean the Gillette ProGlide razor?

It's important to clean your razor after every few strokes to remove any trapped hairs that could affect the glide. Rinse it in water to remove gel, foam, and shaved hair. For best results, alongside ProGlide PROBLADESTM, we recommend applying a Gillette PRO Sensitive prep. However, do not tap your razor against anything hard or wipe it with a towel because this can damage the cartridge's triple blade stabilizer or the blades themselves. After shaving, once you've rinsed your razor for the final time, you can let it dry naturally, ideally in a vertical position. Both the Gillette razor stand and mini hanger are convenient solutions designed to store your razor in an upright position.

Does the Gillette ProGlide razor have a lubricating strip?

Yes, this Gillette ProGlide product comes with an advanced Lubrastrip, a strip which runs across the entire edge of each cartridge refill. On contact with water, this lubricating strip helps the blades to glide across the skin to make for a more comfortable shaving experience. Please also note that Gillette ProGlide design features a microcomb which helps to angle lubricated facial hair to the best position for the five blades to cut them.

Does the Gillette ProGlide razor have a flexible head for better contouring?

Every Gillette razor in the ProGlide range comes with a flexible head thanks to our iconic FlexBall pivoting technology. This has two primary benefits when shaving. Firstly, it means that the blades will adjust to the contours of your face as you shave. Secondly, it means being able to hold the razor's handle from different angles while still achieving a close, comfortable shave.

Does the Gillette Fusion ProGlide help prevent irritation and razor bumps?

Yes, it does by helping to minimise the level of pressure you need to apply to your skin to shave effectively. This is partly achieved because the Fusion ProGlide is a Gillette 5-blade razor. In other words, using the Gillette ProGlide means being able to shave more effectively with fewer strokes. Moreover, bear in mind that ProGlide razor blades have a Lubrastrip with quality lubricants to help ensure that your skin doesn't suffer from undesirable razor bumps or irritation following a shave.

No, the Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide razor - in common with the Gillette Fusion5 and our Pro range blades - has been designed to be easy to shave with. Therefore, the shaving techniques you need to employ with your Gillette Fusion ProGlide don't require you to learn any specific methods. The refill cartridge has a useful blade stabiliser which helps to maintain the distance between the blades with each stroke. So, all you need to do is move your Gillette razor over your skin with smooth strokes to work it through your chosen shaving gel or foam to capture every hair. Please note, however, that the Gillette ProGlide 5-blade razor features a trimmer blade at the back of each cartridge so just turn it around to be able to use it when shaping and styling your beard.
