Gillette SkinGuard Sensitive Handle Refills Reviews Summary

Shave Quality

Pros:

• "I get a much closer shave than clippers can provide without the irritation and breakouts I would get from other razors."
• "No razor burn, no nicks, and a good close shave every time without fail."
• "Leaves your skin smooth, cuts clean and doesn’t leave any nicks."
• "I don't remember if i ever had such a smooth saving - no single cut for couple of months."
• "Yes this razor gives me the most comfortable shave I've ever had and does not irritate my skin at all."
• "So far getting a much closer shave with far less effort."
• "These were shaving like butter and I got carried away and went directly against the grain, something I would typically end up paying for over for a week, but wow, virtually no bumps or burn!"

Cons:

• "It will surely leave razor burn from the friction."
• "The blades become dull with one swipe."
• "I technically don't have sensitive skin to shaving, but this process sure causes irritation and bumps."
• "No shaving system is going to be perfect. I still suffered some irritation, nicks, and cuts."
• "Lubricating strips work well but if you have a thick beard you will need to go over the same spots a few times which wears the lubrication away and get razor burn."
• "It does not shave very close - looks like I had 5 o’clock shadow right after I got done shaving."
• "This product doesn't shave close enough to make it look like you actually shaved and it leaves stuble everywhere."

Skin Sensitivity

Pros:

• "The Skinguard has a unique ability to be able to circumvent that while still giving a close shave."
• "I would recommend it, if you have sensitive skin, or find other razor systems a bit too irritating for any reason."
• "It is smooth and caused me no irritation."
• "No irritation, close shave without nicks and bumps."
• "Used this blade for the 1st time today and love it left skin smooth and no razor burn at all even shaved my boys and stuff and did not get nicked or break out highly recommend."
• "These shavers are amazing! I have no razor burn and I can shave multiple times a week without it being painful!"
• "This razor is a game-changer for anyone with sensitive skin!"

Cons:

• "I’m a lifelong every other day shaver. As soon as I started using this blade I needed to shave daily and felt I had razor burn despite only changing this blade into my routine."
• "I have to shave daily for work. Over the years I have tried numerous products but nothing ever works and by day 4 my neck is torn up, bleeding and painful."
• "I purchased this razor after reading reviews from other ladies that it was bikini area friendly. I used the razor once and seriously had with razor bumps every place I shaved."
• "I bought this product to my husband, and he use just one time and leave the product in the trash."
• "I’ve concluded that it causes less skin irritation by providing a mediocre shave, no better than a disposable razor."
• "I get bumps all over my skin after using for awhile as well."
• "For me personally it still caused irritation on the neck."

Product Design and Durability

Pros:

• "The guard design works exactly as it should."
• "The razor handle is well balanced and has enough mass to give you great control and it just feels great in your hand."
• "A cartridge lasts me about a month shaving every other day."
• "The razor head is extremely flexible, haven't nicked my knee or ankle yet."
• "It glides across your face, and that was with 3-days of growth."
• "The handle on the razor is probably the best of the last 3 razors I’ve tried."
• "One unique feature of this razor is the generous amount of space between the two blades. Because of this, I can cover a lot of real estate in a short time - without rinsing - while shaving in the shower."
