SkinGuard Razors for Men, 1 Razor Handle and 2 Razor Blade Refills, Designed for Men with Sensitive Skin, Razor Bumps, and Shaving Irritation

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 have very sensitive skin, but there are so many razors marketed that way! And aren't! Bottom line? I was using too many blades! I read up about it in a good article, and 5 blades, etc. are just too much for irritation-prone skin. G SkinGuard has three blades, has a good, quality heft, and does the job nicely. One wish: the handle loses its slip resistance if it gets soapy. Recommend this product.

This is a great product. From a woman's viewpoint this razor hasnt once cut me and lasts forever for one blade. I def recommend.

First couple blades were great. I don’t have a very thick shave. These give you a great value but don’t get as close a shave as I would like. Leaves skin smooth with no burn.

I was very surprised at how close the blades cut with no irritation. Reused 5 times she still cuts clean. I will probably replace every 5th to 7th shave. Also I changed my shave cream to Nivea for sensitive skin but my old edge works as well so definitely the blade has a big impact.

Quickly delivered as described, well-made, does the job well. Will be ordering more soon.

When I was younger any razor was ok. Now my skin has gone beyond sensitive to fragile. This razor along with the SkinGuard product gives me a good shave without skin damage.

My story is like hundreds of other reviews: I’ve tried everything - soaps, moisturizers, gels, creams, blades, trimmers, etc. - but my throat and throat back of my neck always break out after face and head shaving. I’m 46 years old and this has been an issue since I was old enough to shave. The only effective solution I have found for my throat is to trim it down to the lowest stubble possible (0.4mm on my Philips Norelco Prestige Beard Trimmer), but that still leaves me wishing for a closer shave (I typically sport a beard or goatee). For the last 10+ years I have been using the Schick Hydro Sensitive on my head and a variety of other solutions on my throat (Norelco rotary shaver, Philips OneBlade), but continue to suffer from bumps and acne. If I let the hair grow out, the bumps go away, but if I grow too long, I get itchy and break out again. So, this Skin Guard blade was basically my last attempt before giving up and just keeping very short stubble on my face (and likely switching to a head shaver that won’t cut close enough but will do the trick). I used it on my head in the same way I normally do - with Edge Sensitive shave gel - first with the grain, then against. Surprisingly, it shaved just as close as the Shock, and I definitely felt like it was a lot easier on my skin. No cuts and no blood. Unfortunately, I can’t tell if the bumps I already had there were just made worse by shaving in general or if they were just still irritated from my last shave four days ago. I also shaved my throat (mostly with the grain) and cheeks (with and against) and used the blade edge trimmer (which was very effective and sharp). In the end, I agree that this is a gentler and close shave. But, whether or not it will completely eliminate razor bumps and acne for me remains to be determined.
