Hurray for paper packaging and a recyclable razor

JeanieN - 13 days ago, Verified purchaser
Rather than just complain about the disturbing amount of plastic packaging in the world, I want to call attention to when a company goes against that convention. I am loving to see that rather than using a wasteful (and difficult to open) blister pack, this razor came in a paper box with a paper tray. Also note that Gillette is among the products you can send in for FREE to have recycled at Terracycle. These steps in favor of the planet matter to me. On top of that, it is an excellent razor.
It's a so-so razor

Very smooth - 23 days ago
It supposed to stop irritation and bumps. It does do the job. I had to give it a 3 star rating because the only downside of this razor it doesn’t really give me a close shave compared to the Fusion or Proglide. It’s not too bad but needs to do better in smoothing the skin by not leaving the stubble. I had to do multiple passes.

I bought this for my husband and he’s not impressed. It doesn’t cut close enough which I thought was fine since it’s sensitive. But he did still get some razor burn. I’m glad I can buy other blades to fit the handle.
1 reply from Gillette team - 2 months ago
Sorry to hear about your husband's experience with Gillette SkinGuard Razor. Our grooming products are all quality- and safety-tested to ensure a close, comfortable shave, so again, we're very sorry this wasn't the case for your husband. We'd certainly recommend that he discontinue further use of these blades. And also, please set them aside, as our Safety Team may want you to return them to us for a closer inspection. Kindly give us a call at (800) 445-5388, so we can gather additional product details plus your contact information and help make it up to you!

5 star razor system

Zodiac - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
The best razor and cartridge system for sensitive skin. The blades (only 2) do sit slightly further away from the skin then the 3 and 5 blade systems which is why it's skin-friendly, but also means that the shave isnt quite as close. If you need super close shaves, then stick to the gillette fusion. Even with the closest fusion shave at 7am for example, you'll still notice a faint shadow appear by noon. A skinguard shave leaves you with that "noon look" right after the shave, so you have to be ok with that. Sure, you might have to shave everyday but with little to no irritation, its the lesser of 2 evils.
Just great

One week use at best - 2 years ago

Each blade lasts me ONE WEEK at best. After 6 or 7 days , it starts giving a rough shave. I don’t know why Gillette says 1 month????? It does cut down on cuts but at a high price.
1 reply from Customer Care team - 2 years ago
While we're glad our SkinGuard Razor has reduced the number of cuts you've experienced, we're sorry it's not lasting as long as you were hoping it would. We have quality and safety checks in place to ensure you get a cut-free shave, and as you have already said and know, around a month's worth of shaves from each of your razors. Since facial hair can be as tough as copper wire, we suggest using shaving cream, gel, or foam to soften the hair after trimming it down and soaking it in warm water. This should help soften the hair and prolong the blade, but since we're sure you already knew that, we'd like to hear from you about this and help. Please call us at 800-445-5388.

Bought this few days ago, it was waste of money. Doesn't even do the job. I don't have thick beard, tried one blade then second. Literally had to scratch my skin of to even shave my beard. Big big no. Wish I hadn't wasted my 35 buck on gillette. Not goin to buy again.

There's nothing more important to us than the quality of your shave, and your safety. Being designed for those with sensitive skin, and incorporating SkinGuard Technology, some users may find it more difficult to get a smooth shave when compared to our Fusion razors. While we have many quality and safety checks in place, we recommend doing the following for the best experience: Trimming the hair down first, soaking your skin in warm water, applying a pre-shave, and shaving against the grain using light and gentle strokes. Your experience isn't something we take lightly, and we'd like to hear from you about this. Please call us at 800-445-5388.
Very good

Worst razor I've ever purchased

Takes multiple passes to shave without a close shave. I unfortunately purchased the 8 pack and will toss the rest. I bought it to use with my fusion 5 handle and have been using the disposable dollar store razors I have. Would not recommend
1 reply from The Gillette Team team - 2 years ago
Above all else, the safety and satisfaction of our users are our top priority. Of course, our users with skin sensitivities are no exception. We designed this razor so that those with those sensitivities can get a smooth shave without having to worry. However, with the SkinGuard Technology, you may need to take additional passes to get the results you're after. First, trim your hair down first, soak it in warm water, apply a pre-shave, and shave against the grain. This may help, but we'd love to hear from you about this, and share other razors that may better suite you and your needs. When you're free, please call us at 800-445-5388.

I have been using Gillette for a long time at least since the 80's when I was in the Army. Being in the Army it requires that you shave and be clean cut and this razor provided me with that look. It makes a difference what you put on your face. I always preferred the best, smooth Gillette shave. I am now 65 but most people think I am 50. I owe that to never settling for any other razor just the best from Gillette.

Terrible design

SassyBelle - 3 years ago

I tried this and when I opened it was surprised to see the design only had two blades but it had high reviews so I tried anyways. I wound up with several nicks (I’ve been shaving for 30+ years and haven’t had a nick since teen days of disposable razors). It was absolutely not a close shave and very uncomfortable shave. I will never use these blades again!
1 reply from The Gillette Team team - 3 years ago
We're sorry to hear about your experience. When we crafted our SkinGuard Razor, we wanted those with sensitive skin to get a close shave while protecting that delicate skin. While we're sure you know this with 30 years of shaving experience, for the best results, use warm water, shave prep, and shave against the grain. This helps the razor glide over your skin with ease, remove that unwanted hair, and protect it. We take reports like this seriously since we have many safety checks in place to prevent this. When you have a moment, please give us a call at 800-445-5388.
Best Razor for sensitive skin

Honestly, I gave up on razors in general. I always got razor bumps no matter what. Tried different creams and lotions. Nothing helped. Would take 3 days to heal and by then the stubble was out of control. Switched to electric for years. Then skin guard came out. I figured I give it 1 last try. Being it’s easier to travel with a razor than an electric shaver. Amazing shave! Obviously stays smoother longer than electric. But zero irritation! I’m hooked! Seriously, great job
