Gillette SkinGuard Men's Razor Handle + 2 Blade Refills

Got this razor for my son’s first shave. Big moment. Emotional. I almost handed him a rusty machete just to toughen him up, but decided to be a decent dad instead.Enter: Gillette SkinGuard.Smooth, gentle, and forgiving — exactly what a young face needs when it’s being scraped for the first time. The handle feels solid, the blades are sharp but not scary sharp, and best of all — no blood sacrifices to the shaving gods.It gave us the perfect moment: a quick how-to, a couple dad jokes, and a clean-shaven kid who didn’t end up looking like he lost a fight with a weed whacker.If you’re helping someone learn to shave — or just tired of your own face fighting back — this razor’s a solid choice. Gillette really did us a solid here. Cheers to smooth starts and smooth skin.

I'm skeptical about product "innovations." I tend to find something that works and stick with it, for years-decades. I'd tried 4-5 blade razors before and found them too fat and awkward to use. But this is an exception (even though it really only has the two blades separated by a cushion). When it was clear my traditional two-blade model was being manufactured more and more cheaply, causing cuts and nicks more often than not, especially on my aging skin, I was willing to give this a try. Amazing. I shave in the shower with no mirror, all by feel. After a few tentative tries with it, I'm now sold on this special Gillette model. It feels as close as my old one ever was, yet I have no worries of bloody cuts, nicks, or burns. Cautiously also tried the little single blade at the top of the reversed side of the head. Worked great under nose and at sideburns when done gingerly. I can shave against the grain of the beard without concern. I hope they don't get me addicted to this then have some marketing genius who decides to discontinue it or cheapen its production in the future to increase profit margins. And, yes, this is more expensive, but seems worth it.

wow! i had very low expectations given poor experiences with disposable blades in the past. i have curly part African hair and can get ingrowns easily when shaving my head. i’ve tried many many different kinds of razors and trimmers. so far the best have been double edged safety razors and Andis or Walsh outliner / detailer style trimmers.i tried this gillette out purely for travel as it’s difficult to fly overseas with DE safety blades. anyway cue my shock when it turns out this gave perhaps the best shave of my life. pretty darn close without being too close for ingrowns. zero irritation! no stinging when washing off shaving cream. no cuts or nicks which was super common for me when using single blade Bic “sensitive” razors. plus each blade has a slippery gel bar on it that helps tremendously. the third blade on the side helps with around the ears.this also worked really well for some “manhood” grooming… if you know what i mean lol.anyways if my experience sounds like yours, you gotta try it. the only downside for me is the refill price is high. just know that it might be worth it.ultimately this goes to show what a big company’s R&D department can pull off.

I like the blades a lot. As mentioned, you won't get as close of a shave but it definitely reduces the burn. Only gripe is that the handle that comes with it is thin and cheap feeling. Thankfully Gillette makes their blades and handles universal so I was able to use these blades with my Fusion pro glide handle.

Excellent razor. Closest shave I’ve ever had and no skin irritation or nicks. Wish I would have found this razor years ago.

These razors where best choice i ever made. As I aged my skin began to get irritated to a point of dermal abrasion and I tried to treat it with various products and new ways to shave. A simple search for sensitive skin razors likened these and they really work. No more irritation. I can shave again without rashing. Love them

Good at what it does (preventing razor bumps and such), but not nearly as close a shave as competitors and other razors of this brand. Had to shave 2-3 times to get a clean shave.

Closest to a safety razor or straight razor shave you'll get. Leaves a smooth shine, every time.
