The Gillette SkinGuard Sensitive Flexball Razor uses a specialized bridge to minimize blade contact. Two low-force blades cut hair at skin level to reduce tug and pull. This model integrates a Flexball handle for better contouring compared to the previous fixed-handle version.
Key Features
- SkinGuard Bridge: Raised guard between blades reduces skin pressure during the stroke. Stops blades from digging into pores.
- Flexball Handle: Cartridge pivots over jawlines and chin curves on a ball-joint. Maintains contact without requiring extra pressure.
- Dual Lubrication: Lubrastrips sit both before and after the blade cartridge. Reduces friction even when shaving over heavy sweat.
- German Engineering: Steel blades originate from Germany for high-tolerance sharpness. Maintains edge integrity over multiple shaves.
- Precision Trimmer: Single blade on the back of the cartridge head. Clears tight spots under the nose or sideburns.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Gillette SkinGuard good for sensitive skin?
The SkinGuard bridge absorbs pressure and keeps blades off the skin surface. This reduces irritation and prevents razor burn during use.
How long do Gillette SkinGuard blades last?
Each cartridge typically lasts for up to one month of regular shaving. Sharpness depends on hair density and thickness.
