Just used this razor for the first time today. I suffered a lot from razor burn with previous five blade razors so, decided to give this two blade razor a go. It’s one of the best shaves I’ve ever had. Very happy and no razor burn. I think you’re right. The spacing out of the two blades makes a difference.

[@atomikjames]

The gillette skinguard is incredible. It's been the only product I've used so far that has eliminated knicks and cuts from shaving.

[@victorm6176]

Yes me too.

[@peyifte6311]

I agree. I was a Harry's user before switching to the skinguard. With Harry's whenever I shaved against the grain, it would give me razor bumps and would bleed. The skinguard did none of that so I'm glad I made the switch.

[@procrastinator6902]

As a long time convert to DE shaving, I have to be totally honest here...I didn't hate this one. I like to go back and try different cartridge products every now and then to prove to myself I made the right choice, but was pleasantly surprised here. Tried it out today and got a nice, comfortable shave with it. I think I'll actually keep this one for a travel razor or to use for a quick shave, if needed. Would highly recommend to someone with sensitive skin prone to razor burn who is required to shave daily...I've got military in mind in particular. Really my only complaint was the lubrication strips. Two may be excessive, because when I didn't rinse frequently it just felt like I was rubbing goo all over my face. Might be good to tone that down a bit.

[@misterlexx2721]

Me too. I am glad I didn't have to buy a new handle. It fits the 5 blade Fusion Proglide handle. Will be my plane / travel razor. I too love the quality of de and savings.

Agreed. You seem to have lots of amazing products. A tour would be fun. Your top two or three products of each category would be fun too (ie, shave cream, shave soap, razor, after shave, after shave lotion)

[@memeguyTM]

A trick for people with sensitive skin. Wash your face with balanced hair conditioner before you shave. Makes your hair soft and shaves off real easy. Then use thick body lotion as your after shave.

[@adamm4064]

Tip for those with sensitive skin if you're using barbasol. Wet your face well then add a small amount of shaving cream crushing it into your beard. The goal is to get it under the whisker like a pre shave. Then add the normal amount of product on top and shave as usual. Works almost as well as the expensive stuff.

[@SinatraLennon]

Well said. Thanks for the tip!

[@thepotatoofheaven]

It finally looks like gillete is moving forward. When I first started shaving I bought proglide and got 2 rows of razor bumps under my jaw after my first week of shaving, I wish I found this razor first

Gillette skinguard is one of the best razors Gillette have produced along with mach 3

[@HornetFlyer]

Gillette will never see another dollar from me. Safety razor and DE blades have saved me mega $$.

[@SinatraLennon]

And I respect your choice. This thing had overwhelming requests, so I took one for the team.

[@donaldallen7344]

I never can understand why someone can't just enjoy your review of a razor without having to bring in political commentary, it's always got to be political

[@HornetFlyer]

Hardly. I'm stating a fact for me. I looked at the escalating costs of paying over $5 per cartridge or $0.17 per razor blade and made a choice. Both last me one week, so you can stop projecting. But since you brought it up, Gillette took the first shot. All they had to do was keep to their years old slogan and just sell their product, but they had to make a SJW statement instead, by making commercials that clearly wasn't well received. I had already switched to DE shaving before all the nonsense, thanks to guys like SinatraLennon and Ken Surfs, to name a few. I thank these guys that help others get started, and just maybe, they can get a great shave and save some money along the way.

Cartridges are more expensive than DE blades. But many people overlook the fact that a cartridge delivers many more shaves than a DE blade.

[@NickzAndMikz]

Disagree

[@paulcarlin5181]

Mach 3 15 blades for 28 bucks from Amazon. That would last my face a year easy. Shave every 3 days.

[@templeofdelusion]

@@paulcarlin5181 Now look at the price of 100 astra blades. Would last you 2 years... Consumers throw away their blades after 3 shaves or something, but I found it's possible to stretch DE's for a long time, considering dullest DE is still sharper than sharpest cartridge. You could go a lot longer than 2 years if you tried... But yes, you read that right, $8-$15 depending on country and shipping costs can last you 2+ years shaving 2-3 times a week and replacing a blade on monday regardless of how much you shaved. Also it's only one blade going over your skin 2-3 times at most, if you aren't a consumerist, you can learn to shave so well that aftershave crap isn't necessary at all, saving even more money. You can even shave in shower with no shaving soap or cream or any kind if you are really good at it... It is still less irritating than cartridges. No matter what you do, your mach 3 just costs too much for what it does (destroy your skin, making you age faster in the face). Also I'm aware that against the grain does similar damage even with DE, but it's a conscious choice to make, your BBS will last few hours at most at the cost of your skin, if you are okay with it, I can't really say much...

the bic razor is pretty good, it is basically a safety disposable razor, single blade, no spring head. very cheap too. a bit hard to find because it is french.

[@dtyn]

I have super sensitive skin - bumps, burns, acne, etc. My arsenal includes DEs, single blade disposables and this Gillette sensitive razor. It’s good as you described and not as costly as the 100-blade models. Finally a decent product from G. Will be my travel razor on trips that I need to carry-on luggage.

[@Justincrock10]

I have very sensitive skin, but don't grow much facial hair. So I always had really bad razor bumps and burns from using 3-5 blade cartridge razors, it was overkill for the amount of hair I grew. This razor gives me the smoothest and least irritating shave I've ever had, it is great! Whilst I do notice that hair grows back faster whilst using this because the shave isn't as close, but to me it's worth it because I'm not in pain post shaving!

[@davidkimberly4682]

You are a brave man, S/L! Actually this razor doesn't seem as bad as most and your presentation of it was very sympathetic. Funny, I had way more irritation from a multi blade cart than from a DE. I thought I had sensitive skin but I just had poor razors. I recall a commercial back in the day from Gillette. It had an animation of a whisker being shaved by multiple blades, I think the narration was something like "the first blade stretches the whisker and the second cuts it off below the skin." Seems exactly the recipe for ingrown hairs.

[@SinatraLennon]

Good point. Yeah, more blades doesn’t necessarily mean a better shave. Perhaps just the opposite!

[@rrrrr0_]

There's an extra blade on the back for the area under your nose and for leveling out the sideburns. Nice job on shaving with a safety razor by the way, other safety razor people make me cringey when using cartridge razors...

I LOVE Cremo's shave creams and shave butters!!! Also, I use a double layer of aftershave. I first splash some alcohol or astringent based aftershave to close up any nicks, and then finish with a moisturizing aftershave lotion. Been doing that for years, and it really keeps my face soft, fresh, and nice to the touch.

[@paulcarlin5181]

Does this cut as close or closer than the Arc 5?

The Arc 5 cuts closer, overall compared to this razor. With the Panasonic you need to do your neck first because it does get warm and can irritate your neck if you choose to do it last.

[@10floz30minutes]

Hey SinatraLennon, I have a tip for shave foam from the can users. You can use a brush and add some water to the foam on your face, like doing a face lather, and you then do not need to pretreat your face with a shower or with first washing the face. In fact you can first wet the brush and squeeze out most of the water and squirt some canned shave cream into the brush and start a face lather and add some water that way.

That’s cool! I wonder if I could get my Dad to switch.

Would you recommend this razor for someone who sometimes got a few pimples on his face, because I dont want to cut myself

Hi, I'm here Barbus Company New Jersey. My favorite Gillette

This was a great video, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Can you please review a Gilette Mach 3, which has been out since 1998. and the first triple blade system. Thank you.

Hello Mr. What is better? Gillette mach 3 o this razor Skinguard???

[@allfacts19]

Is the skinguard good for going against the grain shaving upward? Thats the only way I can get a good shave. I have to shave daily as well. I find the nivea men's shave gel to be the best. It gives a better thicker lather then the other gels.

My mom bought me this with 10 cartridges. I’ve never shaved and I don’t need to shave all the time. So like what’s the point? Do cartridges go out of date?

I've had hit and miss results with the skinguard. Like it's Indian cousin, the Gillette guard, it is a significantly better head shaver then face shaver. The funny part about the skinguard is when you watch review videos a majority of them show a man who talks about ingrowns and irritation... Then rubs shaving gel onto their dry cheek, takes 1 small slow swipe WTG (only on their cheek), and comments on how smooth it is lol. I have a 5 o'clock shadow after a ATG pass with the skinguard so I've got no idea what these dudes are talking about. Thank you for incorporating water and giving a real review. I may have said this before but Gillette's new Pure cream in the tube is designed to be used with a brush and has outperformed most of my fancy European creams at only $6 and available locally.

Yeah, I tried to not only review this razor but give some basic tips to guys that might not know how to get a better shave out of their razor. Hopefully my basics of shaving tips help!
