How do you clean SkinGuard Sensitive Power blades?

To clean your SkinGuard Sensitive Power razor, simply rinse the blades under the tap. For an optimal shave and blade lifespan, rinse the blades after every few strokes - then once again, more thoroughly, after you've finished shaving - running the water from the back of the cartridge to the front. Never tap your razor against a sink or solid surface to remove excess water, as this can damage the cartridge's precise dimensions and the blades' fine edges. Instead, leave your razor to dry naturally, ideally in a vertical position. For easy and convenient storage solutions, consider using a Gillette razor stand or mini hanger.

What shaving prep is recommended for a SkinGuard razor?

To enhance the experience of shaving sensitive skin, you should use a gel or foam specifically designed for that purpose. Clinically proven for sensitive skin, Gillette's SkinGuard Shave Gel and SkinGuard Sensitive Shaving Foam are both free from any dyes or alcohol that might cause irritation, feature a touch of aloe, and are loaded with ingredients that will soothe the skin with every stroke. For added comfort post-shave, use Gillette's hydrating Aftershave Balm.

Lubrication strips with a touch of aloe

Designed to help prevent irritation during shaving, the SkinGuard Sensitive Power razor cartridge features Gillette's iconic Lubrastrip infused with a touch of aloe. Positioned both before and after the blades, this cushioning strip activates when wet to provide lubrication for a slick glide with low resistance.

Battery-powered micropulses to soothe the skin

The SkinGuard Sensitive Power handle houses a tiny battery-operated motor that generates soothing micropulses. These small vibrations help the razor to glide smoothly over the skin. The handle is ergonomically designed, featuring easy-grip elastomer pieces for expert control and precision.

SkinGuard technology for a comfortable shave

Positioned between the razor's blades, the SkinGuard 'bridge' acts as a guard against causes of shave irritation. Designed to absorb some of the pressure from your hand to minimise blade contact with the skin, the 'bridge' also flattens the skin during shaving, helping to reduce the risk of irritation.

Innovative low cutting force blades

SkinGuard Sensitive Power's low cutting force blades are coated with an anti-friction layer to help reduce cutting force. These ultra-fine blades are thinner than a surgeon's scalpel, minimising tug and pull to improve shaving comfort for sensitive skin. Resting on innovative spring mounts, these low cutting force blades can adjust to variations of the skin's surface, reducing irritation.
