Gillette SkinGuard Razors, 1 Gillette Razor, 4 Razor Blade Refills, Designed for Men with Skin Irritation, Razor Bumps, and Sensitive Skin

I am a woman with PCOS which sadly means I am blessed with a little extra facial hair. I have tried multiple methods of shaving this hair (which is primarily above my upper lip and on my chin, both awkward to shave spots. I have tried dermaplaning. I’ve tried shaving with a regular razor primarily marketed towards women. Doing both of those things, I managed to cut myself. And with both of those things, I could still feel the remains of little stubble-y hairs, even on day one. I’m a bit of a wimp so waxing, which I tried once before, wasn’t going to happen. I searched on tiktok to see what other PCOS girls were using for facial hair. I found a video where this razor was recommended. Part of my was like ‘well I’ve already used a razor, AND a razor marketed as being for sensitive skin…and it was nothing special. So surely this will be just another waste of money I’ll end up using to shave my legs.’ The other part of me was desperately hoping that maybe this would be the fix to all of my problems. WELL LET ME TELL YOU, IT WAS. I used this razor for the first time and, immediately on first stroke, was absolutely impressed. It didn’t feel like it was dragging on my skin, or catching on and pulling the hairs. It felt so nice and gentle I was worried that it actually wasn’t getting the job done. When I was finished, I rinsed my face and that is when I was INSTANTLY sold on this razor FOREVER. My chin was COMPLETELY SMOOTH. My chin hasn’t been completely smooth since I was a teenager. I am amazed. AND!! ZERO CUTS! Now, like any razor, you will probably feel a little something on day two or three once the hairs start growing back. But this razor making shaving my face not as unpleasant and I find it easy enough to do every other day. Basically, if you are a girl, struggling with PCOS, and looking for a solution to those pesky facial hairs, don’t be embarrassed or self conscious of purchasing this because it’s a ‘men’s’ razor. It is truly worth it and so superior to any other razor I’ve tried on my face that I’m just sad I didn’t try to look for something better sooner. Would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone, no matter your gender. Almost everyone shaves in some capacity, and everyone deserves a comfortable shave.

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.

SO I HAVE TRIED ALL THE MAJOR BRANDS IN ALL THE YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN SHAVING AND I MUST SAY THAT THESE ARE THE BEST JUST OT PUT IT INTO PERSPECTIVE FOR YOU I WOULD RANK GILETTE IN GENERAL AS THE BEST A MAN CAN GET AS THEY SAY- THE REASON IS THAT GILETTE BLADES ARE SHARPER AND LAST LONGER HOWEVER THESE PARTICULAR GILLETTE RAZORS ARE LITERALLY GOING TO BE SMOOTH LIKE BUTTER AND GLIDE OVER YOUR SKIN SO YOU CAN SHAVE YOUR BEARD, JAWLINE, CHEEK AREA, NECK AND I HEAD WITH EASE. THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THESE IS THAT RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX YOU GET YOUR NICE SILVER HANDLE AND THEN IT COMES WITH ONE BLADE YOU ATTACH THE BLADE ITSELF IS. OT DIRECTLY SHARP OR ANYTHING - THE BLADE IS THERE BUT ONE THING THAT YOU WILL NOTICE IS THAT IT IS NOT SHARP AS THE OTHER RAZORS ITS EFFECTIVE AND WILL LEAVE YOUR SKIN SMOOTH - THE BEST PART ABOUT THESE IS THEY CAN BE USED FOR TWO WEEKS PER RAZOR AND NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT MAYBE TWO AND A HALF WEEKS WHO KNOWS BUT THESE ARE DEFINITELY 10/10 AND THEY ARE AVAILABLE IN THE DISPOSABLES YOU GET FOUR IN A PACK FOR EIGHT DOLLARS ( AN UNBEATABLE VALUE AND QUITE HONESLTY YOU CAN GET SOME DOLLAR TREE SHAVING CREAM TO USE WITH IT OR IF YOU PREFER YOU CAN GET A SHAVING SOAP BAR > IT ISNT RECOMMMENED TO USE LIKE DOVE BAR SOAP TO SHAVE WITH BUT MAYBE YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH DOING THAT IF YOURE IN AN EMERGENCY) SO IF YOU ARE A PERSON WHO VALUES NOT HAVING CUTS AND NOT HAVING AS MANY RAZOR BUMPS THEN I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE PARTICULAR GILETTE RAZORS

This is a good razor for those who find it hard to NOT cut yourself whilst shaving. I will say, this is not a body hair shaver, your best bet for body hair is cutting it (when it's long) with the trimming blade. Don't go too wild, it's just that: trimming. Now, as for how it shaves, it is actually fairly decent. Glide: As far as how it glides across the shaving area, it depends on a couple of things. How much shaving cream is there on the area? When did you last shave? Which areas is it in, any problematic areas for you to shave? I find it hard to wet shave a lot of my face without some discomfort, but in areas where it's not as problematic, it glides fairly well. Shave Closeness: Since it has two blades, it, of course, is not as deep as 5, 4, or even 3-blade razors. That being said, I would say it is a decently deep shave if you go over the same area a few times. Just take a couple fingers and run them across areas you've gone over to check, against the grain, if the hair is still there. After one day(at least for my hair growth), you get the hint of scratchiness, and I usually like to shave with it every other day. Discomfort: I would say the discomfort of shaving with this is just shaving. I've been using electrics for 90% of shaves after puberty, so I am fairly inexperienced. Thusly, this is the perfect razor for me. I had always thought that normal """safety""" razors would actually be a good razor if it was like a Norelco, which has it's blades behind about 0.5 mm steel with slits for the hairs. This is the best I've seen for something like that in safety razors. The discomfort I have is at its height when I haven't shaved a couple days. Anything else I missed is probably in the other reviews. You CAN cut yourself with this razor, but it reduces the chance of it.

I can't believe I am 51 years old and took that long to question my life choices in shavers. Previously I hung onto using more and more blades. I would buy the three and four blade versions of shavers. I would use them and no matter what I tried, I always end up with ingrown hairs. One day on a whim, I saw these. I can tell you they make logical sense. They are smooth to shave with. The shave is easy on your skin and not harsh. You do have a bit more of a 5 oclock shadow, but they don't leave as many (if any) ingrown hairs. This is a miracle of science! One more thing that these do is they have a single blade at the top for close up or edge trimming. I am surprised they don't advertise this more, but it really works wonders. I don't need multiple shavers to do around my beard or sideburns, this one does it all. These are highly recommended from someone who has suffered (unwittingly) all these years. Try them out. Life changing.

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.

I found this razor by searching for which are best to prevent aging. It is by far the smoothest shave I’ve ever experienced, even compared to high quality safety razors. It is not necessarily the closest shave possible, in that I can immediately (but barely) detect hairs after a shave if I rub against the grain, but it’s still close enough to make me happy and I consider the smoothness and gentleness on skin to be a perfectly acceptable trade off. I never get any irritation or ingrown hairs, and I can definitely tell they are easier on my skin than anything else. As an added bonus, the razors last over a month if you gently pat them dry after each use to prevent hard water buildup. I bought mine in June and am only on my second razor. If you’re looking for smooth and easy on the skin, I haven’t found anything better.

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.
